Tile Roof

A Tile Roof Can Give Your Home A Beautiful Look And Great Protection.

When having a new roof installed, there are many options available to you and your home. Aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly, many homeowners have begun to choose a clay tile roof for their home for these and many other benefits it offers. Just like with any other roof, you want it to last a long time and provide your home with quality defense against damage. However, clay tiles can wear and become damaged due to time, storms and debris. What can you do to prolong the life of your tile roof? There are some simple maintenance tasks you can complete or have your roofer complete to ensure your roof stays at its best and ready for the next storm.

Tile Roof Maintenance Tips

  • Assess The State of Your Roof Regularly – Taking a few moments to look at your roof can keep you in the know on any potential problems. Keep an eye out for damaged material and having a roofer inspect it can allow you to handle any issues quickly before they grow.
  • Keep Your Roof Clean – Debris and water can take a toll on clay tile roof materials, wearing them down and allowing algae to grow. Take the time to wipe down your roof with a simple detergent solution and remove any debris that may have blown atop it.
  • Get Repair As Needed – If you do find damage on your roof, getting repairs quickly can prevent water, pests and other environmental factors from attacking your roofing structure. Contact our roofers when you notice this kind of damage for repair to have your roof restored fast.

Signs You Need a New Shingle Roof

New Shingle Roof

Missing Shingles and Severe Damage Can Create an Immediate Need for a New Shingle Roof.

Asphalt shingles represent the most widely used residential roofing material in the country. Extremely versatile, shingles are manufactured in a vast array of styles and colors, and provide reliable, cost-efficient service. Eventually, however, you’ll need to consider a roofing replacement. If you notice any of the following signs, the time may have arrived for a new shingle roof.

Missing, Curled, or Damaged Shingles

Some amount of shingle repair and replacement is to be expected with any asphalt shingle roof. However, if your roof has widespread issues with missing, curled, or damaged shingles, you may need a replacement. These issues can occur after a particularly strong storm, or as a result of an aged roofing system. Damaged shingles should be addressed quickly, as they create the potential for severe leaks.

Loss of Granules

Roofing granules provide an invaluable service for your roof. These inconspicuous, tiny pieces of gravel not only contribute to your roof’s appearance, but also protect it from impacts. Faulty or old shingles will begin to lose their granules in abundance. If you ever notice a great deal of roofing granules in your gutters, the day has arrived for a new shingle roof.

Old Age

The most common reason for a roofing replacement comes with old age. The average asphalt shingle roof will last for around 20 years. If you have had yours for that amount of time or longer, schedule an inspection with a qualified roofer. The longer you keep an outdated roof, the more frequent and severe your repair issues will become.

If you need a new shingle roof in Georgia, South Carolina & Florida, GA, trust the expert team at RoofCrafters. We provide exceptional service for roofing replacement, and are just a phone call away at 912-920-4147.

The Perks of an Aluminum Roof

We love aluminum. We love it! It’s lightweight, durable and easy for roofers to use. But why should homeowners love aluminum? Why choose aluminum for your house compared to other roofing materials? Here’s a short list of reasons why you should consider installing an aluminum roof in Georgia, South Carolina & Florida.

It’s easy for your house to support.

A Roof and a Rainy Day

Rain Usually Causes Metal to Rust. Not Aluminum. Aluminum Roofs Laugh at Rain!

Shingle roofing is great, but it can also be very heavy on your home’s framework. The lightweight nature of aluminum enables it to cover your home without applying extra stress on the supporting frame. This greatly reduces the chances of structural failure and repairs.

It reflects sunlight, improving energy efficiency.

Your roof absorbs more direct sunlight than any other part of your home. That means things are gonna get hot! Aluminum however, has strong reflective properties which bounce sunlight instead of absorbing it. As a result, your HVAC system will have an easier time maintaining the cool temperature in your house. Raise your hand if you like lower energy bills!

Aluminum laughs at corrosion.

In general, metal roofing requires very little maintenance because it’s so tough! Out of all other metals used for roofing, aluminum provides some of the strongest weather and corrosion resistance. In neighborhoods subject to high wind speeds and rainfall, resilience against cracking is a must. Even with severe humidity and rainfall, aluminum will not rust.

The Dangers of Roof Leaks

Marking a Roof during an Inspection

We Can Find and Repair Storm Damage and Roof Leaks Fast!

Strong winds and hail can cause visible damage to your roof, but sometimes there can be unseen damage that creates a lot of problems for you over time. A roof leak can happen when a roof has weak points that make it more accessible and allow water in. The problem with leaks is you may not see it until a substantial amount of damage has already been done. So what can you do to avoid this?

Check your attic occasionally: After a storm or torrential rains, checking up on your attic is a good way to determine whether a weak area in the roof has allowed water to creep in. Examining the attic on a sunny day can also help you pinpoint weak areas because it can let the light shine through.

Clean out the gutters: Clogged gutters can cause water to overflow back onto the roof. But that’s just one reason to clean them out. Clearing out the gutters also gives you an opportunity to check the condition of the gutters themselves and the edge of the roof too.

Schedule an inspection: Having your roof inspected on occasion is the best way to determine if there is any underlying damage that needs to be repaired. When it comes to leaks and excessive moisture in your home, having some minor roof repairs done can save you a lot of work and expenses in the long run.

If you suspect a leak in your roof, contact RoofCrafters to schedule an inspection. We’ll be able to find and patch any problem areas quickly to stop any more water damage in your home. Give us a call today at 912-920-4147 if you need roof repairs in the coastal areas of South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida.
