If you are moving into an older home, you may want to play it safe and have a roofing contractor come out for a free quote. The roofing company should be able to tell you whether or not you need a new roof right now, or if you can wait a few years to replace it. Far and beyond the previous factors, you should know that the climate you live in also has a significant impact on your roof's lifespan. For instance, the following weather conditions could reduce the amount of years your average roof can last, including:

• Sun
• Wind
• Heavy rains
• Snow, hail, and ice
• Traffic (pertinent to commercial buildings)
• Movements in the building's structure
• Temperature fluctuations

Those are just some factors that you can evaluate on your own before your roofing contractor arrives at your house for the thorough inspection.  Need help, just let us know and we can help. We don't charge to inspect and quote. Save large cost by fixing your repairing damages before they become worst.

If it is time to get a new roof, there are a variety of options to choose from. There are a few things to consider before you call a roofer and hire out the work to be done. What type of roof or material do you want? How much do you want to spend and how long do you want it to last? Does the roofing material match the style of your home? With these questions in mind, here is a breakdown of the types of roofs.

1. Engineered rubber or plastic roofs. These are made of reclaimed materials and come in a variety of colors and styles. They are estimated to last between 30 and 50 years and can be fairly cost efficient compared to other materials. It should work with any style of home.

2. Eco-roofs. These roofs are for the environmentally minded individual and work well with flat or slightly sloped roofs. It filters rain and is low maintenance. As with most environmentally friendly materials, it can cost a lot up front, but it is attractive and can extend the life of membrane used on the roof.

3. Hot asphalt with stones. This style of roof only works on a flat roof. It is inexpensive and easier to repair than other roofing materials but it is not environmentally friendly and can cause health problems from the fumes.

4. Reinforced concrete. It can work with almost any style of home. It comes in all kinds of colors and styles, is low maintenance and very durable. Once again, it can be expensive on the front end of things but that cost is offset by the durability and lifespan.

5. Asphalt roofs. Asphalt shingles can be used on any house and is inexpensive. There are lots of styles and colors. It is easy to repair and fire resistant. What you save in cost to install you lose in lifespan. It typically has a life-span between fifteen and thirty years and is not friendly to the environment.

6. Wood shingles. This style of roofing material typically works with cottage, ranch, and contemporary bungalows or historical homes. These are expensive and require professional installation. They are high maintenance but have a lifespan between thirty and fifty years if they are maintained and can offer some insulation.

7. Metal. These work with the same types of homes as the wood shingles. They are expensive because they are difficult to install but durable with a lifespan of at least fifty years. They are environmentally friendly and perform well against high wind and precipitation.

These are a few options for roofs that you can choose. Call different people in your area for more specific prices as you are planning what you want and how much you want to spend. Whatever roof you choose, it will improve the look and feel of your house.

The unfortunate thing about a leaking roof is that the symptoms of the problem never manifest until the rain begins to pour or the ice begins to melt. With any luck - if luck can be factored into the equation of a leaky anything - you will locate and address the leak at a time in close proximity to its advent. Otherwise, you may be looking at extensive, extraneous damages, and more than just roof leak repairs to address. A small, undetected leak in your roofing system can soak your attic insulation, seep into the wood of your home's frame and saturate your dry wall panels.

It is important to keep in mind that your pots and pans belong in the kitchen, and they are made for cooking, not catching rainwater trickling into your home from some rooftop shingle gap or tear in your roofing membrane. So, when the rain stops falling and you remove your buckets from their sentry positions beneath your leaking ceilings, you need to pick up the phone and have a professional roofing contractor come and give you an assessment of the situation - and an estimate of your roof leak repairs. With any luck - again, if luck can be factored into the scenario - the leak itself and its related damages will be minimal. Putting off a phone call to assess damages earlier enough will only grow into bigger problems down the road.

Important Roofing must Knows

Get to know your roof: Two of the most important parts of the roof are the soffit and fascia.

                                                                                                        

Part of the function of the soffit is to assist in ventilating the attic. The soffit typically features a plain design with small holes that provide air circulation. The air from the soffit cycles to the vents to draw heat and moisture away from the house. This is a highly important function because moisture in the attic can develop rot in the sheathing and rafters.

The fascia is a vertical finishing edge connected to the ends of the rafters, trusses, or the area where the gutter is attached to the roof. The primary role of the fascia is to act as a layer between the edge of the roof and the outdoors, and is meant to protect the wooden board against water damage that can occur during certain weather conditions.

It's important to know the functions of these two parts, and Above All Roofing understands time is sensitive when either of these crucial aspects of a roof requires attention. Serving the Vacaville and the Solano County, let us take care of your roof for you.

Summer Roof Days!

Don't Feel Down in the Gutter

Did you know that just an inch of a summer rainfall pours close to 1500 gallons of water onto your roof? That’s why the performance of your gutters is so important to protecting your home. Waterfalls flowing over your gutters during a summer rainfall are a strong indication that you have clogged gutters – and clogged gutters can lead to some expensive home repairs.

Your home’s gutters and downspouts are designed to move water down from the roof and away from your home and foundation for proper drainage. Water that can’t flow through your gutters finds the easiest path – and that often means the water comes right into your ceiling and walls.

This can lead to moisture and mold if not treated. This may especially occur to homes left vacant while you  are away on your summer trip.

Downspout Fever

What is downspout? 

Although it has various terms to describe it, essentially it is a pipe for carrying rainwater from a rain gutter.

Downspouts are usually vertical and extend down to ground level. Rain water is directed away from the building's foundation, to protect the foundation from water damage. The water is usually piped to a sewer, or directed into the ground. They are a fundamental component for the longevity and reduction of future costs to your roof.
