NEED HELP WITH A ROOF REPAIR, LEAK, REPLACEMENT, CERTIFICATION, INSURANCE CANCELLATION, OR STORM DAMAGE EVALUATION?

High winds can wreak havoc on shingle roofs, leading to many issues that, if left unaddressed, can result in costly repairs or even roof replacement. Wind can loosen shingles, causing them to lift or completely detach from the roof. When this happens, the exposed underlayment and decking are vulnerable to water infiltration, leading to leaks and potential structural damage.

Wind can lift shingles from the edges, which compromises the roof’s ability to provide a waterproof seal.

 The protective granules on the shingle surface, which guard against UV rays and weathering, can also become dislodged when the shingle is bent, further weakening the roof’s defense system.

Missing or dislodged shingles are one of the most noticeable and common signs of wind damage. Strong winds can easily loosen shingles, causing them to fall off or shift out of place, exposing the underlying roof materials. If left unrepaired, this can lead to water infiltration, leaks, and further structural damage to the roof. It’s essential to address these issues promptly to maintain the integrity of your home.

Missing shingle tabs are a clear indicator of roof damage, often caused by strong winds or severe weather. When tabs are missing, the underlying layers of your roof are exposed to the elements, increasing the risk of leaks, water damage, and deterioration of the roof’s structure. Addressing missing shingle tabs promptly can help prevent costly repairs and ensure that your roof remains durable and watertight.

The first step in the roof replacement process is tearing off the existing damaged roof. Our team carefully removes all shingles, underlayment, and any compromised materials down to the roof decking. This ensures a clean and solid foundation for the new roof installation, preventing future issues caused by lingering damage or deterioration.

After inspecting the roof decking, the next step is installing an ice and water shield in vulnerable areas such as valleys, eaves, and around roof penetrations like chimneys or vents. This self-adhering waterproof membrane provides extra protection against water infiltration, especially during heavy rains or snow.

Following this, the roof is fully dried-in by laying down a moisture-resistant underlayment over the entire roof surface. This combination ensures that the roof is fully protected from leaks, creating a solid barrier until the final shingles are installed.

In this step, we begin by installing the metal valley to ensure proper water drainage and enhance the durability of the roof. Next, we proceed with laying down the new shingles, ensuring a precise and secure fit across the entire roof surface. As part of the re-shingling process, we also install new vents to improve roof ventilation and extend its lifespan.

Finally, to achieve a seamless and polished appearance, the vents are painted to match the roof color, ensuring they blend in with the overall aesthetic of the home. This step not only enhances the roof’s functionality but also contributes to a clean, uniform look.

High winds caused the edge metal of the roof to lift, exposing the roof’s edges to potential damage.

Strong winds during a severe storm caused debris to strike and shatter a window. The force of the wind pushed loose objects into the glass, leading to the breakage.

A recent hailstorm caused significant damage to both the whirlybird vent and shingles on the roof. The hail dented and cracked the shingles, weakening their protective function, while the whirlybird vent sustained visible dents and reduced functionality.

The first step in the roof replacement process is tearing off the old, damaged shingles and underlayment. Once the roof is stripped down to the decking, we inspect it for any signs of rot or damage. Any compromised sections of the decking are then removed and replaced with new, sturdy material to ensure a solid foundation for the new roof. This crucial step guarantees the long-term integrity of the roof and prevents future issues.

After the decking is replaced, the next step is to dry in the roof by installing a moisture-resistant underlayment. This layer protects the roof by preventing water from penetrating the decking, ensuring the roof remains watertight until the shingles are installed. This critical step provides a protective barrier against potential leaks during the roofing process.

In this step, new shingles are carefully installed across the entire roof, ensuring a secure fit and proper alignment. This restores the roof’s protection and durability, ready to withstand future weather conditions.
