IT IS BETTER TO HAVE YOUR ROOF CHECKED EACH YEAR THEN BE SORRY LATER

Roof maintenance is an ongoing measure that has to be performed each year even when the roof is not leaking. This will prevent future roof leaks, emergency repairs and sudden damage during the storm season. In the Hampton Roads area, a good roof inspection is the first step which involves scanning the existing roof and identifying all the areas that need repair before a large storm hits the Tidewater area.

 

 

 

During the inspection of the roof, we will then draft a list of materials and a plan of action that will be guaranteed to resolve any potential roofing problems in the near future. We will then provide you with a written contract that includes both materials and labor. Our price will always be an amount that is affordable for you and your family.

 

 

 

Otherwise, if the roof is very old and irreparable it may be advisable to remove your old deteriorated roofing system and install a new roof that is designed to last for many decades.

 

 

This is sometimes the best option especially if your nickel and dimming your wallet by trying to repair a roof that keeps on causing you problems. In some cases, a roof replacement is for those who are only wanting to give their home a fresh new look while also providing peace of mind knowing that your home is safe, secure and impervious to moisture. Making sure your roof is leak proof and secure is very important, This is why Aquashield Roofing will inspect your roof before, during and after each new roof installation.

COMMON ROOFING PROBLEMS OFTEN SEEN BY A BUSY ROOFING CONTRACTOR

What Are Some of The Most Common residential Roof Problems? There are many factors that can cause roof leaks and common roof problems. Most of the time the main cause of roof leaks or common problems with a roof all boils down to poor workmanship. It can be that a person who installed a roof just has very little roofing knowledge or he may have been taught to install a roof improperly which in many cases the person will remain confident that he or she actually knows what they are doing. It may well be that a person only cares about making a quick buck rather than the workmanship performed.

 

 

Whatever the case may be there are many types of roofing problems that are commonly known to most roofing contractors. Most roofing contractors receive hundreds of calls each year about roofing problems and situations that have the same direct cause.

 

 

PIPE COLLARS

Most of the time when a homeowner contacts a roofing contractor over the phone and describes a roof leak in a bathroom area then it is safe to assume that the leak is coming from a pipe boot around a plumbing vent that allows airflow into the plumbing system for a toilet to flush. On occasion, a bathroom fan connected to a vent pipe up through a roof could also be the cause of a roof leak but eighty percent of bathroom leaks come from a pipe collar.

 

On most newly built homes building contractors have the plumbers supply the pipe collars for the roofers to install and they will purchase the cheap plastic pipe collars that are generated by the sun rather quickly. Aluminum pipe collars are much better because the ring that goes around the pipe is made out of a much more durable EPDM rubber material.

 

Lead pipe boots are even better as they cover the entire pipe and last for many years. With more and more modern technology coming to the roofing industry there are now some companies that make high-quality pipe flashings that can last a lifetime such as PermaBoot or The Ultimate Pipe Flashing made by Lifetime Tool.

 

 

SKYLIGHTS, CHIMNEYS AND FLASHING PROBLEMS

The most common problem that any roof penetration has is that the corners are not wrapped with flashing in a correct way. Almost every common type of roof problem on residential homes comes down to a corner that is improperly wrapped with step flashing. Skylights, walls, and chimneys all have corners that have to be wrapped properly for proper waterproofing.

 

 

VALLEYS

Valleys have a very heavy accumulation of rainwater so it is very important that they are installed properly. There are three main ways that valleys are done depending on the area that you live in.

 

In colder climates, valley metal is installed so that snow and ice can not grip to the smooth surface of the metal and cause an obstruction. One of the best ways to install a valley is to weave the shingles from both sides making the valley strong and secure. In some places, they do what is known as a California cut or a no-cut valley. These methods are more appealing than the other methods and are they are done properly they also will not leak.

 

 

RIDGE VENTILATION

 

In the old days, it was a common thing to install a metal ridge vent which had a few problems. Much of the old metal ridge vent was only eight inches wide which caused rain to blow up under the vent causing a roof leak. Another problem is that the ridge vent was not often nailed in the roof rafters as it should be. This lead to ridge vent blowing off and also broken plywood because the roofers would nail in nails through vibrating plywood that would take some hard hits to sink the nails.

 

At Aquashield Roofing Company we strive to surpass the expectations of our customers with a superior roof through the use of experienced salespeople, skilled workers, professional project management and fair business practices. We promise to never cut corners and to always offer our valued customers the very best quality roofing materials from the top manufacturers in the industry. We will never offer a cheap, quick fix, but will instead give our customers outstanding value and professionalism at a reasonable price.

CAN AN HONEST ROOFER REALLY BE SUCCESSFUL IN TODAY'S WORLD?

While a subject like this may seem uncanny in a way for some there is truth to the fact that an honest roofer has a much more difficult time with business success. There are two types of roofing contractors.

 

 

 

There are contractors who spend an average time of ten to fifteen minutes on a roof estimate. These types of roofing contractors usually are the most honest and they give an honest price with a goal of paying their bills and making a good living. They usually do not use any high-pressure sales tactics and they are not out to get rich. The bad thing about this is that when things get bad with the housing market or the economy slows down they struggle and sometimes go out of business.

 

Most of the time an honest roofer has true skills and real hands-on roofing knowledge that has developed over time from years of experience. Many of the smaller guys will do everything themselves like estimates, repairs and even write their own contracts.

 

 

 

The other type of roofing contractor are ones that mix car sales with roofing sales and use high-pressure sales tactics. They also charge outrageous prices and many times use financing companies to set up financing because their prices are so high that there is no way for a customer to make an immediate payment for the job. Most of the salesman from these types of companies have very little roofing knowledge and many of them have never actually even step foot on a roof. These roof salesmen are taught to spend hours with a homeowner in order to wear them down. In some cases, homeowners are ready to call the police in order to get them removed from the property. They will sit their butt on the couch for four hours using every engineered sales trick in the book.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually, these types of companies are more interested in how much they can profit versus the concerns and welfare of the customer. While it is true that these types of businesses are very profitable and when times get bad with the economy they can just make a few budget cuts and still survive with minimal effort but an honest roofer may ask the question "How do they sleep at night?".

 

 

 

I know some of these types of companies that are in the news each year for giving some of their employees million dollar Christmas bonuses. The facts boil down to this in my opinion; people work hard for their money and a roof should not cost thousands of dollars above the average industry market price. By talking people into contracts that take them many years to pay off while using engineered high-pressure sales tactics separates you from what is known as an honest roofer. These roofing companies do not often ever struggle financially because of such large profit amounts from each job they sale.

 

 

It is much more difficult for an honest roofer to succeed but they can sleep much better at night providing an honest service for an honest price. The world is not made for honest men it is designed for crooks to make large profits off the backs of hardworking people who just want to pay their bills and take of their families.

SOME ROOFING PRODUCTS AND INSTALLATION METHODS

 

 

Every house must really have a sturdy, watertight roof that ensures protection from severe weather conditions like a hurricanes, snow storms, thunderstorms, extreme heat, etc. Whether it is a residential home or commercial building, correctly installed roofing systems keep people across the United States safe and dry from the harsh elements while also helping to insulate homes from the heat and cold.

 

 

 

 

 

Your roof is very important because it is essential to the protection of your framing and wood that makes up your home. Without it your family would be exposed to harmful mold which is a major health hazard for you and your loved ones. There are many types of roofing systems that are made for both residential or commercial properties that are in America. Both commercial and residential structures serve a different purpose and some require a different process to build in some cases. Each type of building uses many types of roofing materials to make them impervious to moisture.

 

 

 

INSTALLATION METHODS

 

There are many different types of commercial roofing systems and also different methods of installation when low sloped roofing systems are involved.

 

 

MECHANICALLY-ATTACHED SYSTEMS

 

Mechanically attached systems are a system which involves a method of only attaching the roof with screws termination bar or also known as batten bar for flat roof membranes. This method I would never suggest as many roofs have blown off due to high winds. Many roofing contractors will install a EPDM rubber roof using this method and they are not well attached or storm-resistant as rubber membranes are not as strong as TPO.

 

FULLY ADHERED ROOFING SYSTEMS

A fully adhered roofing system is much more superior to any other method of roof installation.

 

A fully adhered roofing application method is the process of gluing down the roofing membrane to the sub straight. Oil base glue is usually the best option to use on a fully adhered roofing system however it is much harder to work with. You install membrane systems with using oil base glue by gluing both sides of the application.

 

You glue the substrate whether you are gluing directly to the decking or insulation and peel back the membrane then only glue small sections at a time so that there is a less chance of an error or trapped wrinkle. There is also a wait factor where you must wait for the glue to get tacky before you start installing the membrane.

 

 

BALLAST ROOFING SYSTEMS

 

Ballast roofing systems use large river rock to weight down the roof and also preserve the membrane by reflecting UV rays from the sun. This method of installing a roof has a great liability and the potential of causing property damage or human harm when the rocks fall from the roof. You save on the glue but it takes much more manpower and labor time to install.

 

 

 

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOW SLOPED ROOFING SYSTEMS

 

Many different types of low sloped roofing products are used on both residential and commercial roofs located around the USA.

 

 

 

TPO ROOFING SYSTEMS

Many commercial buildings are flat and require a low sloped roofing system to be installed. Low sloped roofing systems also vary. The most top of the line low sloped roofing system is TPO roofing membrane.

 

 

COMPOSITION:

 

"Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane made from polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber polymerized together."(SOURCE: Firestone Roofing Systems)

 

 

 

Most of the TPO on the market today is ninety percent recyclable and highly energy reflecting from harmful UV rays that radiate from the sun. PVC roofing membrane is similar to and it can be hard to tell the difference between the two roofing systems however PVC is softer and can burn much easier when you are wielding it with a TPO heat gun.

 

 

EPDM RUBBER ROOFING SYSTEMS

 

EPDM rubber roofing membranes are applied with primer and glue either with a mechanically attached method, fully adhered method or a Ballast roofing system method. It is much like working on an inner tube on your bike when you were a small child. In fact, patching a rubber roof and an inner tube are very similar processes.

 

 

Regular EPDM roofing membrane is not very UV protective and draws in heat unless you install white EPDM which is twice as expensive.

 

 

ASPHALT FLAT ROOFING PRODUCTS

 

Asphalt roofing products for low sloped roofs are more of a old school method of roofing. These products are still used today however they are bad for our environment.

 

 

STEEP SLOPED ROOFING PRODUCTS

 

Steep sloped roofing products are used on both commercial and residential roofs that have a sloped pitch.

 

 

ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFS

Asphalt shingle products are the most commonly installed roof product on residential homes in the United States. Shingle roofs are also installed on many commercial properties such as many apartment complexes, churches, schools and government buildings. Asphalt shingles look appealing and their cost meets the budget of an average homeowner.

 

 

TILE ROOFING

Tile roofing systems are a very high end roofing product that lasts many decades. There are many types of tile roofing systems sold on the market today such as real slate, fake slate, barrel roofing tile, imitation shakes, concrete roof tiles and metal shingles. many of the tile roofing products are fire resistant and can withstand severe weather. Tile roofing systems can be very expensive for both the labor and the materials.

 

 

WOOD SHINGLES

Wood shingles have been installed for centuries and have been around for generations. Cedar shake shingle roofing is still rather expensive in our modern time due to the manufacturing process. The underlayment must be a thick high quality underlayment because it is what keeps the roof dry. The Cedar Shakes protect the underlayment by protecting it from the sun rays. Cedar shakes swell and absorb rainwater. The installation process is slow and time consuming.

 

 

No matter what kind of roof you are considering there are many types of roofing systems along with many choices of design and installation methods. It is best to do lots of research and get advice from a experienced roofing contractor in your area.

BAD ROOFERS

 

Unfortunately, there are a few disreputable folks out there calling themselves roofers, along with its their shoddy work that's chargeable for many roofs falling in on unsuspecting families. The very first thing it is best to do before you can even experience a quote from them is a full-scale background check. This is far simpler than it sounds; there are only a few places you must check.

Initially, call the Better Business Bureau (BBB). That is the organization that keeps records of all the complaints made with shysters and conmen on the market ripping us all off. If anyone has filed a complaint against this amazing company, they'll let you know on it for absolutely free. Then, you have how to do that, it is going to be ready to go on into the next one.

Another great thing to look at is is found on the web. There are websites that have ratings and reviews for various professional services. If you peer on with the sites and approach the name of the corporate, it is going to show you reviews from past customers. If they did a terrific job, you will find out here. In the event that they did a crummy job, you'll also see it here.

Finally, you'll be able to enter the name irrespective of roofer into any search engine and occsionally turn up information. Put some negative terms located within search field too like "suck," "stinks," "scam," and you just might find somebody linked to forum providing you with the important thing information you had been looking for.

 

If you are've successfully filtered out the rubbish, it is time to choose few good roofers and appear them out. First, learn how long they've been doing roofs. It's generally wise to pick someone with a minimum of a number of years of experience. It will make sure that they know a good way around up there additionally your house.

Check to make certain that they are fully licensed to do roofing work. They should be able to offer you all the certifications and proof that you simply need. Each state maintains its own requirements as to what is suitable, so do some of research. Some companies have worthless certificates that do not really mean anything, nevertheless it's enough to convince their next prospect that they are licensed.

 

It is a good idea to ask for references. They should be happy to give you the names of some people who they've done working for before. Call them up and get to know about this kind of roofer and the level of high quality their service offers. In fact they're only to be able to give you the names of people who will offer good references, but it surely's still nice to talk to them. Any time a roofer refuses to offer any references, move on to somebody else.

When you find the proper roofer, you're all set. Remember to tell friends and family about the amazing work they did for you. It is important to spread the word when you really get to find good help!

 

ROOFING JOBS

 

 

A "roofer" is a standard term used on most of the jobs in roofing. But I'm consulting the workers who are actually tearing off, installing, repairing and/or maintaining various roof systems. That's how many of us in the trade got started.

Roofing is a troublesome, dirty job that's in the top ten long list of most dangerous occupations. Statistically it is even more dangerous than being the policeman or firefighter. Many guys try it outside and speedily find they need no some of this work.

 

But there's something concerning this that's as part of your blood. Those who survive jobs in roofing for a long time often make a profession out from it. It's extremely rewarding to tear off an antiqued leaky roof, fix all of the rotted wood and install a good-looking roof system that can provide decades of shelter.

Once you playing the basic skills and principles, this can be a job which you could take nearly anywhere. Presently there is an impact in compensation and working conditions from a particular one country to another. Even companies that are cross-town rivals differs greatly. Locations among those options...

 

First on our list, as long as you're in a very special report that gets a whole lot of snow, you may find the jobs in roofing all but disappear in the winter. The snow and ice enables both miserable and treacherous working conditions. And the material freezes, as difficult to work with.

Compare that to where I live in South Florida; We will roof year-around and winters are just the right time it really does not have to be found on the roof. There are various days when I'm overwhelmed in the shear ecstasy of working outside in the warm sun and funky breeze. Including the sweltering summers are tolerable, if you arrange your available time it certainly doesn't need to be off the top during the heat no matter the day.

Another factor for roofers to think about is the sort of work that a company does. Firms that do loads of new development often find themselves in a very special "feast or famine" situation. When there are lots of new homes together with other buildings escalating, there is a lot of work. But those jobs in roofing fade quickly while the economy slows down. Roofers so we for manufacturers that do mostly repairs and re-roofing are at increased risk for steady work, regardless of economic conditions.

 

Some companies concentrate on just one sort of roofing system. But at first of one's career I like to recommend working for an organization that gives a variety of systems. That way, after 10 years on the top, you will have ten years experience, rather than 12 months of experience -- ten times. You will discover the pros and cons of different types of roofing. Following that, if you want to specialize in a specific type, become the perfect roofer on the town for the reason that system.

 

The best compensation for roofers is often through piecework arrangements, instead of by hourly. Just stay focused on quality over quantity and you will get work while the "speed demons" are rushing around looking for a job. Those guys are a dime a large number of and I haven't got much usage for them. Work to be fast AND good. Now THAT is impressive!

You have to be your individual toughest critic. Don't put yourself in the embarrassing position of making sure your work rejected on your boss, the shopper or possibly a building inspector.

Also, bear in mind that being forked out by piecework doesn't automatically qualify you as a non-public contractor. There will be licensing and tax implications that you should know of. You'll probably by for a long time, but eventually the long arm of the government will meet up with you.

When that happens, the IRS can shut you down, file tax liens on your premises and garnish your wages. States like Florida force us a felony outside contracting without a license and can assess heavy fines. You're more happy staying found on the legal side of this manner, consequently your place of employment or your own business.

 

You are roofer is without doubt one of the jobs in roofing that is greatly full of immigration. An enormous percentage of roofers are either legal or illegal immigrants. Because the wage scale is so low where they come from, they readily are great for wages which might be half what they need to be. Many shady roofing companies are happy to rent them, paying cash by the table and saving even more.

That situation could make it pretty tough when purchasing a young roofer attempting to earn a decent living legitimately. A nice advice is to get a knowledge on your lessons quickly and feel conditioned for higher paying jobs in roofing. It's great for start a journal notebook of what you may learn. Seek advice from the original-timers. Most are happy to let me know their wisdom along but you will need to show them a little courtesy and respect.

And so if advancement opportunities don't pan out, one can definitely start your personal company.

The Right Roofing Contractor?

 

Let us define first what a roofer is. A roofer this is definitely one who makes a specialty of roofing construction, concentrating on the application of materials that water proof and weather proof buildings that supports the top structure of the storage shed against wind, heavy rain, snow and also other natural calamities. When it's needed to repair your roof, replace roof coverings or go and do some maintenance, you will hire a roofer.

 

 

 

A competent roofer will provide you with sound help on products, reasonable explanation of procedures, and, most significant-solid results - no leaks, including a durable roof. The question is in what way will you find the best roofing constructor? Relax. It's not that hard. All you have to do is follow some easy steps that I am going to be telling but you should think about frequently, money along with your effort find a trustworthy roofer.

 

Most certainly, hiring a roofer is as simple as you already know just like you are selecting things the best way to buy within the food market and I suggest you should use the same care to find your roofing contractor as you may inside a grocery store. Allow us to now begin our search. Referral from friends and families is the greatest reference. You may read the past roofing jobs of your own colleagues, neighbors and acquaintances and you may compare it. You can also search a number of roofing contractor's lists within the phone book, newspapers and building supply store. Gathering greater than 3 contractors is great. Remember, don't just trust one contractor. As much as possible gather as numerous as you can comfortably on your comparison. Since you already gathered enough lists, you will then visit their office not purely talk them by phone. Interviewing them in a live setting is a great deal better. Even if interrogating the salesperson or the pet owner, Interview them and seek those you're impressed with to bid on your job.

 

 

When meeting together with your roofing contractor, Of course you have to ask and think about, the corporate's integrity, quality workmanship, years in affiliate marketing and overall, good feeling. Furthermore, you will need to you should also think about roofer's state license, roofer's insurance, warranty, estimates so their bids. Most contractors' warranty is present in twelve months only. Be sure to do understand and make a copy in your own. About contractor's workmanship, errors usually are found within the 1st year, probably the first good storm. The rationale this question is important and most roofing contractors will warranty the workmanship, and of course the manufacture will warranty the merchandise so long as it's installed correctly. It is a good idea to perform a little research the way contractor handles issues which involved complaints leaving your customers.

 

Since roofing contractors often meet unreliable homeowners, it's located within interest to conduct your interviews in a way that demonstrates to you're serious and may pay for their work. If you are feeling certain that the roofing contractor is actually interested in your project, ask for the venture's vital statistics-specific business information which can be of great assistance in helping your final decision. Finding the most qualified roofer will allow you to enjoy your new roof even more.

 

Avoid Some Roofers

 

You might need a roofer to prevent the top of your property in the optimal shape possible. However, countless have never hired this type top-notch before, and may want to find out how to discern between the roofers available. Recognizing the indications of an unprofessional roofer could possibly work with you choose on the very best company for you to use.

The first things which you will almost certainly do when choosing a roofer is call around, since the majority of companies can answer any queries you have using the phone. You might wonder about their regular hours, the costs, and whether they provide emergency hours, to mention a few common questions. If the one that answers the phone directory cannot offer an response for these simple questions, you won't be able to be coping with an expert company. It's important to get the accurate hours, prices, and services over the phone. The truth is, many companies probably have a price estimate using this approach to communication, so if the company you call cannot provide these simple details, look elsewhere.
