Is a roof leaking just a little bit something to worry about?

Are you finding small puddles in the corner of a room or moisture on the walls in one part of the building or house? Or, does water drip a little from the ceiling when it rains? Why not just put a bucket under the leak and hope for the best? Why not wait for a two- or three-bucket leak or a ceiling falling in to check out the roof?

We all know that’s foolishness!

What are some of the big indicators that your roof has problems that need to be fixed? One is when you notice missing shingles, or moisture or rotting wood in the attic. These can be addressed in a timely manner to avoid emergencies.

But, what do you do if you can’t find the leak?

Sometimes leaks can’t easily be found without spending a lot of time and money looking for them. Royal Crown Roofing has the solution to saving your time and money. They have specialized equipment that can spot leaks quickly and effectively in the form of an infrared camera that gives an accurate picture of your roof’s condition. It can detect even the smallest leaks so they can be repaired before disaster strikes during some terrible storm. The camera can detect moisture, mold and mold erosion and any damage already done to the roof.

Let Royal Crown Roofing find those hidden leaks and make the repairs before they expand to the point of water pouring into your home. They are there to help you.

So, you need a new roof and can’t decide which kind.

If you are looking for beauty and curb appeal, consider GAF roofing. It’s the US’s leading asphalt shingle roofing product, offering shingles with 110-mph resistance to wind, Class A fire-resistance and the best warranties in the industry.

GAF, the largest manufacturer of residential roofing materials, offers three distinct levels of shingle quality which are made of fiberglass-reinforced asphalt fused in layers that provide great resistance to the elements and any small critters that try to live in them.

GAF’s Lifetime Designer Shingles come in a wide selection of styles and colors that give the appearance of slate, wood shake and various types of wood that add elegance and curb appeal to homes. For instance, their Grand Canyon® collection, the most authentic wood shake looking shingles available come in beautiful styles called Black Oak, Mission Brown, Stonewood, and Storm Cloud. GAF’s Camelot® II style includes slate-mimicking shingles called Antique Slate and Royal Slate. These are but a few of the many GAF possibilities with the added allure of modest prices.

Another advantage of GAF roofing systems comes in the form of their Roofing Wizard, which lets you picture on your computer screen what your house will look like with the many color and style choices they offer.

Clearing out the gutters is an essential part of regular roof maintenance! You’ll be glad you did!

Clearing out the gutters is an essential part of regular roof maintenance! You’ll be glad you did!

It may be seen as a dreaded job, but cleaning out your gutters regularly has lasting benefits to the life of your roof. Gutters are essential to your roof and channel water away from the base of your home. This helps prevent floods and decrease the possibility of damage to the home’s foundation which can be extremely costly. You don’t want to ignore your gutters!

It’s very important to keep the gutters in good working order. At least twice a year, you should examine or have someone else examine the gutters closely. Removing potential problems such as leaves, piles of dirt and tree branches keeps the roof in great shape and reduces the impact of sudden storms. Big storms can mean big problems for your roof and home if your gutters aren’t clear.

Several proven ways to clean your gutters include using a leaf blower, a power washer, a wet/dry vacuum, a garden hose or by hand. It’s important to address every clog or blockage because these can really cause damage in the long term. Regular roof maintenance may take some effort, but it’s worth it to your roof’s overall health and your peace of mind.

Overhanging branches can really damage your roof! Is it time for a trim?

Overhanging branches can really damage your roof! Is it time for a trim?

You might be checking your roof regularly for damaged shingles and roofing materials, but are you also keeping an eye on the trees surrounding your house? Over hanging branches can actually be more of a problem than you think.

Tree branches and leaves that touch your roof can eventually damage shingles, especially in high winds. Over time the abrasive scratching can cause real problems. Overhanging branches can also give squirrels and other rodents direct access to your roof where they can gnaw on your roof and siding. Tree-trimming also goes a long way toward keeping leaves and branches off your shingles to extend the life of your roof.

Regular roof maintenance and checkups, in addition to keeping overhanging branches at least ten feet away from your roof can really increase the longevity of your roof.
