    Understanding the Basics of Your Roof

    Shingles:

    The outermost layer of a roof, typically made of asphalt, wood, or metal. Shingles provide weather protection and contribute to the roof’s aesthetic appeal.

    Underlayment:

    A water-resistant or waterproof barrier installed directly onto the roof deck. This crucial component prevents moisture penetration, offering an additional layer of protection.

    Decking:

    Decking is the roof’s foundational layer, also known as sheathing. Usually made of wood or engineered materials, it is the base for attaching all other roofing components.

    Flashing:

    Typically metal, the material seals and protects roof joints, edges, and penetrations from water infiltration. Flashing is critical for maintaining a watertight roof system.

    Ventilation:

    Systems and components that facilitate airflow in and out of the attic space. Proper ventilation prevents moisture buildup, regulates temperature, and extends the roof’s lifespan.

    Insulation:

    The process of assembling and securing all roofing materials. Proper installation follows specific techniques and guidelines to ensure optimal durability, performance, and longevity of the roof system.

Understanding what a roof is made of can help you make better decisions about materials, maintenance, and durability.

    When should you repair or replace your roof?

    Having a well-built roof is essential because it serves as your home’s primary defense against the elements. Over time, weather can deteriorate your roof, leading to leaks that, if not promptly repaired, can cause costly interior and structural damage. If you’ve noticed any signs that water is entering your home, it might be time for a roof replacement. Our roofing experts can guide you from start to finish.

    How can I tell if my roof needs to be replaced?

    Look for these signs: missing, cracked, or curling shingles, persistent leaks, water damage inside your home, and sagging areas on the roof. If your roof is over 20 years old or shows extensive wear, it might be time for a replacement. A professional inspection can confirm its condition and ensure minor problems don’t become big ones​​.

    How to tell If your roof has hail damage?
    To identify hail damage on your roof, look for dents or cracks in shingles, bruising, or missing granules. Check metal components like vents and gutters for dings or dents. Look for leaks, water stains, or mold on ceilings and walls. Granules in gutters or downspouts may also indicate damage. It’s essential to perform a ground-level visual inspection for safety. For a thorough assessment, contact a professional roofer, as they can provide a detailed inspection and help you determine if you need repairs​​​​​​.
    How do I know if my roof qualifies for an insurance claim?
    Check for damage caused by covered perils like storms, hail, or falling debris to determine if your roof qualifies for an insurance claim. Document visible signs such as missing or cracked shingles, leaks, or structural damage. Review your insurance policy to understand coverage details and exclusions. It’s crucial to report damage promptly to your insurer and schedule a professional inspection to accurately assess and document the damage. A professional roofer can provide a detailed report to support your claim​​​​.
    Will my roof leak with one shingle missing?
    A single missing shingle may not cause an immediate leak, but it can expose your roof to potential water damage over time. Missing shingles compromise your roof’s ability to shed water properly, which can lead to leaks, especially during heavy rain or storms. It can also lead to loosening of surrounding shingles. Address missing shingles promptly by replacing them to prevent further damage. Regular inspections and timely repairs can help maintain your roof’s integrity and protect your home from leaks​​​​.
    Will my insurance pay for a new roof?
    Whether your insurance will pay for a new roof depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Typically, insurance covers damage from unexpected events like storms, hail, or falling debris but not from general wear and tear or neglect. Review your policy for specific coverage details and exclusions. Document any damage and contact your insurer promptly to file a claim. A professional inspection can help provide the necessary documentation to support your claim. Always check with your insurance provider for guidance on coverage​​​​​​.
    What should I do after a storm?

    After a storm, inspect your roof from the ground for visible damage like missing or cracked shingles, debris, and leaks. Check inside for water stains or ceiling leaks. Document all damage with photos. Contact a professional roofer for a detailed inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Report the damage to your insurance company to start a claim. Avoid any repairs until your insurer has evaluated the damage, as unauthorized repairs might affect your claim. Finally, clear debris safely from your property​​​​​​.
