Tips on When to Call a Roof Repair Company

To keep a roof in good standing for years to come, here are four things consumers should know about maintaining them:

1. When to go pro David Stone from Ace Roofing NC is an expert on all things related to houses shingles, and suggests to do a visual inspection of the roof several times a year. Call a professional if there appears to be streaking stains on the shingles, curled or buckled shingles or areas on the roof missing granules or rusted flashings. Water stains in the attic or moss, or mold on the roof are also signs of potential problems. It may be time for a new roof if there are higher than average energy bills, moisture or mold in the attic, or leaks after extreme weather.

2. It's all about maintenance Once a year, clean the cobwebs and dust from ventilation system and exhaust vents. Then, caulk with a high grade sealant around pipes and vents and paint any exposed metal to prevent rust. Also, remove leaves and other debris from the gutters so they don't jam up and overflow.

3. One choice can make it last forever (almost) Asphalt shingle roofs tend to last approximately twenty years. If a roof is installed correctly with the right components, it can last a lifetime.

4. People do notice Roofing material can actually enhance a home's curb appeal. (40 percent of what is seen from the road is the roof!)

The fine art of roofing - October 8, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

HUGE sections of temporary roofing are being put in place to protect the fire-damaged Mackintosh building at Glasgow School of Art before the onset of winter.

The work is being carried out by one of the biggest scaffolding companies in the country.

SGB has spent the past few weeks putting specially designed scaffolding in place around the historic building.

Project manager John Watson said: "It is a unique design for a unique building.

"Our inhouse design engineer Chris Rogers came up with a scheme that caused minimal damage to the fabric of the listed building.

"The scaffolding had to be attached to the actual building, so that was quite a challenge.

"Chris also had to design scaffolding ties which are unique to this project, so there are a lot of firsts."

Once the scaffolding was in place, a 75 tonne crane was brought in to start the delicate job of lifting temporary roof panels into place.

The three sections of the fire damaged roof are all a different design so 12 individual panels had to be designed and constructed to ensure the building is kept watertight.

Each roof section is 5m wide, 30m long and weigh between 1.2 and 1.8 tonnes.
