Often, roof problems are discovered after leaking or other serious damage occurs. Bi-annual inspections can often uncover things such as cracked, warped or missing shingles, loose seams, deteriorated flashings, excessive surface granules accumulating in the gutters or downspouts, and other more visible signs of roof problems. Inside your home look for cracked paint and discolored drywall as signs of damaged roof areas.
There are a lot of roofing options available with new products, styles, and colors being developed all the time. From asphalt shingle roofing and composite roofing to slate roofing, metal roofing and tile roofing, there are plenty of options if you are looking for something new.
You have two basic options:
You can choose a complete replacement of the roof system, involving a tear off of your existing roof or re-covering the existing roof. If you’ve already had one re-cover installed on your original roof, local building code requirements may not allow more than one roof system re-cover before a complete replacement is necessary. Contact us for more details.
Not necessarily. Leaks can result from flashings that have come loose or a section of the roof being damaged. Call us to schedule a free roof inspection so we can determine the exact condition of your roof and provide recommendations and estimates.
Most work should not be done yourself. Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently repair or replace both residential and commercial roofs . You can actually damage your roof system by using improper roofing techniques and potentially severely injure yourself by falling off or through the roof.
Maintenance performed by property owners should be confined to inspecting roof systems during the fall and spring to check for cracked or curling shingles and cleaning gutters filled with dead leaves and other debris.
Most new roofs are designed to provide useful service for about 20 years. Some roof system types, such as composite, slate, clay tile and certain metal (e.g., copper) systems, can last longer. Roofing product manufacturers offer a variety of warranties on their products. Take a close look at those warranties to see what responsibilities and financial obligations manufacturers will assume if their products fail to reach their expected lives.

You should contact your homeowner’s insurance company as soon after the damage occurs as possible. Unexpected roof damage can cause significant financial implications. If your home is unsafe due to the damage and you must vacate the home, your insurance company may offer coverage for hotels while your roof is being repaired.
The insurance company will send out an adjuster who will inspect the damage and determine the amount of the claim. If you feel the estimate is too low, you can get estimates from different roofing companies and provide those to the insurance company as proof of the damage. F & S Roofing & Construction provides accurate and detailed roof damage estimates and frequently works with all major insurance companies.
Many situations could lead to roof damage. Tree limbs can be thrown into your roof or high winds can tear shingles from the roof, exposing the substrate which could then be compromised by rain. Lightning strikes can blow a hole in your roof and fire can lead to structural damage. Even wildlife, such as squirrels and raccoons, are known to chew through wooden structures and create holes that can be quite large. Call us when you are in need of any roof repairs including emergency services.
Chances are you can save money by installing a new roof without removing the existing roof if you only have one roof on your building; meaning there has never been a reroof done previously.
There are instances where a roof tear-off is required however.
• Your building already has had a reroof. Legally commercial buildings may not have more than two roofing layers. The reason is to prevent excess weight and stress on the structure of the building.
• Your building’s roof is unsafe. If your roof is damaged or unstable, your existing roof will need to be stripped in order to install a new working roof.
There are several factors that can contribute to the cost of a new roof. Here are some of them:
