Whether you buy a home or have lived in one since it was built, chances are you will need to replace the roof at some point. Most roofs last twenty to thirty years, but natural disasters and other mishaps can shorten your roofs lifespan by a significant amount. One of the best roofing tips to get the job done right and save yourself time and money, it is best to hire a professional from the beginning. Re-roofing can be done by yourself, but the cost of wasted materials and time spent trying to get it done right ends up very costly.
Doing an inspection of your roof twice per year will help you find cracked, warped or missing shingles. These inspections also reveal separated seams, damaged flashing and gutter blockages, which over time cause damage to your roof. Inside your home look for cracked paint discolored ceiling areas or peeling wallpaper, especially near the ceiling as signs of potential roof damage. By identifying issues with your roofing systems you can often repair for sometime before needing to replace your roof.
Leaks are caused most commonly by faulty flashing around chimney skylights and vents; typically, a roof does not need to be replaced due to these leaks. If your roof is over a decade old, you may need to replace the roof especially if it appears worn or rotten in large areas. Snow and ice also cause problems as well as condensation and high winds. New roofing systems are often needed to correct these issues. The new system will include specialized underlayment, vents or specially treated shingles.
Choosing a contractor is the most important choice you make in re-roofing your home. There are many considerations you need to make, price is usually the deciding factor, however workmanship, insurance, and accountability are also very important factors in choosing the right contractor.
When talking with various contractors to get estimates be sure that they remove the hold roofing materials down to the underlying wood sheathing, which is the plywood or plants attached to the rafters of your house/attic. It was common practice to place new layers of shingles over the old ones in order to lengthen the life span of a roof; you want to be sure that your contractor will take off all of the single layers. This practice fell out of use due to the longer lifespan of fiberglass-based shingles. By going down to the sheathing, the roofer can install the proper ventilation, flashing and waterproofing systems for you new roof, as well as making the needed repairs to any rotten or damaged wood. In addition, nailing or screwing the sheathing down can help prevent damages from high winds in areas that face this issue.
Why not just a roof? A roof is made of many parts, each one needs to work well with the others, and this makes it a system. Be sure you can compare the roofing materials used in the system to make the best price for both quality and affordability. Each component has varying strengths, be sure if you choose budge shingles that the underlayment is higher quality than you would normally select to make up for the lacking quality of shingle. Your contractor can suggest the best combination for your budget and home.
The underlayment, flashing, ventilation, drip edge, and gutters if you replace them, are all considered minor details by many people, however they can me the difference between a water tight home and an indoor swimming pool, in your living room.
The outer most layer of your roofing material offers many options and often gains the most consideration because it is visible. Fiberglass reinforced shingles are the most popular because of price and durability, as well as thousands of styles and colors available. Fiberglass laminated shingles, commonly called architectural singles are also affordable, and popular when compared to traditional high-end roofing means, such as metal, tile and slate. Artificial slate roofs are also typically made of architectural shingles.
This depends on many factors, if everything is perfect it can be done in less than three days, for the typical residential home. Rarely do things go perfectly. The weather can affect the roofing process, as can the number of workers employed by your contractor. An unexpected complication is one of the most common delays of a re-roofing project. Additional damage that was unforeseen as well as a shortage of materials can cause delays, sometimes ranging into the weeks.
Choosing a competent contractor will make your re-roofing process go quickly and smoothly. Replacing your roof does not need to be a lengthy and complicated process, you should be able to make a few basic choice, usually about the contractor and materials used, then sit back and watch the work be done quickly and effectively the first time. Sitting in your nice dry home during a thunderstorm can be peaceful, especially when you know the water will stay outside of your home.

Roof replacement | Re-roofing tips
Kennedale, TX (PRWEB) February 07, 2014
A homes roof is a vital part of the structure. In addition to protecting the interior from rain, the roof also serves to solidify the walls and hold everything together. As water works its way into a structure through the roof, it can cause significant damage. Its important to have roof problems corrected quickly, and the roof will have to be replaced as it starts to wear down. Quick Roofing now offers full roof replacements along with several other key services.
The fully licensed and insured team at Quick Roofing works on large and small buildings alike. They offer residential and commercial services, including multi-family housing structures. As residential roofers, they work with tile slate, standing seam metal and Decra roofing materials. They also offer affordable composition shingles and modified bitumen.

In addition to installing new roofs, the company also offers a range of associated roofing services and accessories. Professionally installed skylights help illuminate a room while adding visual appeal to the interior. New gutters ensure that the foundation is protected by properly diverting water. Home and business owners who find roofing damage after a storm can also call them for a thorough inspection and assistance with any repairs.
The temperature inside an attic impacts the house below and the roofing system above. In freezing temperatures, an attic thats too warm leads to ice dams and water leaks. During the hot summer months, soaring temperatures in the attic cause the roof to heat up, and shingles can be damaged by high temperatures in the attic. The result is a roof that fails prematurely, but this can be avoided by having the attic ventilation inspected and corrected. Quick Roofing also offers this valuable service to help prolong the life of their roofing systems.

Digging for Klarman Hall starts Feb. 3.
The whipping wind and negative temps have slowed the pace of roof replacement for Goldwin Smith Hall, but digging work at the Klarman Hall site, the future home of the College of Arts and Sciences new humanities building, is set to begin on schedule Feb. 3.
Workers have been bundled in all sorts of special gear to face the winter chills, but theres no way to get around the need for certain minimum temperatures to complete part of the roof project.
The adhesive used on the underlayment of the roof (the ice and water shields and plywood or copper that go under the slate tiles) cant be applied unless its at least 25 degrees, said Alex Chevallard, associate manager of projects for Cornell, who manages the construction of the roof replacement project at Goldwin Smith.
And workers are under pressure each day when they work on a section because they need to take off tiles and old underlayment, fix any problems they find and add new underlayment, all in the same day. They cant leave a portion of roof uncovered, for obvious reasons.
Along with replacing the entire slate roof on the building which Chevallard said is one of the largest contiguous roofs on campus workers from LeChase Construction are also adding two dormers on the east side for office space.
Despite the weather woes, Dave Tallie, construction superintendent for LeChase, says theyll finish the roof on schedule. LeChase is managing the Klarman site enabling work and roof reconstruction.
Once the weather gets better, we [add crew] to make up for any lost time in winter, he said. Slate roofs can last for about 100 years, Tallie said. Portions of the current roof are 109 years old; others were replaced in the 1970s, according to Gary Wilhelm, project director at Cornell Planning, Design and Construction.
Work has focused so far on the east side of the building, Chevallard said, so that workers can be out of the way for construction on Klarman Hall to begin next week.

FWCS approves construction projects
CONYERS Superintendent Richard Autry recommended that the Rockdale County Board of Education approve Baker Roofing as the contractor of choice for repairs to the Building & Grounds/Purchasing Facility at the boards regular meeting Thursday.
The warehouse, which houses both the Building & Grounds and Purchasing facilities, has a 25-year-old metal roof that is in need of repairs and coating to prevent leaks, according to the school system. A bid analysis from the BOE states that the leaks are especially prevalent during heavy, blowing rain, and coating the roof will improve the buildings energy efficiency. The repairs will also include replacement of existing gutters and downspouts.
Out of eight bidders, Baker Roofing submitted the low bid of $56,562. A-1 Construction bid $135,000. The school systems budget for the project is $75,000. Funding for the project will come from SPLOST III revenues.
Depending on weather conditions, the roofing construction should be completed by spring break. The warehouse facility is to remain in use for the duration of the project.
