Easy Tips to keep your roof maintained and when it’s time for Arlington roof repair
“Bob Dillon, President of Unique Home Solutions talks about what causes Arlington roof damage, DIY repairs and when it’s time to hire an Arlington roofing company to get the job done. At Go Go Green Roofing and Solar, our technicians will assess what Arlington roof repairs are needed.”
Arlington Roofing Company“Most often it is water (or ice when the water freezes) that causes Arlington roof damages.
If the gutters are not secured to the home properly or are not cleaned to allow water to flow freely, water and ice will cause damage to your Arlington roof shingles, underlayment and decking. Deterioration and rot to your siding, windows, and foundation are also often the result of water drainage.”
DIY Repairs
1. Loose or missing shingles
2. Vent and stack flashing
3. Gutter board (ensuring attachment of gutter to board)
When to replace:
“As a general guide, if more than 20% of your shingles are in need of Arlington roof replacement; you should replace the whole roof.”
Downside of multiple roof layers:
1. Will not be able to determine any damage to foundation layers; and if any does exist and a second layer is applied, or roofed ‘over’, the deterioration and rot will continue. With the added weight and continued rot- the main support- roofing trusses could start to weaken; and that brand new roof could fall right through into your living room!
2. Very likely to cause leaks from undetermined locations as a result of double installation of roofing nails
3. Weight. The additional weight can cause too much stress on structure, especially in areas with snow.
