Calling All New Home Buyers In The Solano County

Planning on buying a new home? 



If you are in the process of purchasing a new home chances are it will be inspected by an appraiser, especially If you plan on purchasing via an FHA loan. Home buying inspections are usually conducted during escrow, and are geared to ensure the minimum requirements for what is considered a safe home are met, before it can be inhabited.

So what is the appraiser looking for when it comes to the roof? For starters, the roof must do what it's designed to do--FHA and HUD regulations say it must not leak or allow moisture to enter the home. in order to pass the appraisal process, the roof must also "provide reasonable future utility, durability and economy of maintenance" according to the FHA official site.

Rule of thumb is to not assume your roof is great condition because it passed an appraisal. If in doubt hire a professional to inspect your and determine how many years of your roof's life are remaining.

Start off the journey to your new home purchase in Vacaville, or surrounding towns, by calling the professionals at Above All Roofing, and allow us to inspect your roof. We will fix what it needs... no more, no less.

Vacaville Homes Ventilation Requirements

Poor Attic Ventilation Can Ruin Your Insulation, Destroy Your Shingles, And Raise Your Energy Bills!

Proper attic ventilation systems allow a continual flow of outside air through the attic, protecting the efficiency of the insulation and helping to lower temperatures in the living space. Not only is poor attic ventilation a health hazard for families living in warm client zones, like Solano county, proper attic ventilation is also recommended by the U.S. FHA.

It is estimated that 9 out of 10 homes in North America do not have proper attic ventilation. Why? Because most people are unaware that attic ventilation can impact the durability of their entire home. In the summer, improper ventilation can cause attic heat to build in excess of 160°F. This highly-heated air eventually permeates the ceiling insulation into the living area below.

Is your roof properly ventilated? Give us a call today for a free analysis to determine your roof's ventilation requirements.

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.
Whether you need your downspout fixed or replaced, give us a call today for a FREE quote.
