One of the biggest factors in any home improvement project (besides your happiness level at home) is whether you will gain resale value. Studies have shown that a new roof can provide the highest return out of several common remodeling projects.
Estimates of returned value fluctuate significantly across sources. However, every source agrees that adding a new roof will always provide additional value to your home.
There is a list of important factors that roofers use to assess the state of a commercial roof. The following factors will monitor which options offer the best return on investment and desired efficiency.
With large commercial buildings, we often see flat-topped roofs. This style of roofing can lead to pooling and leaks if not cared for appropriately. When assessing a new roofing project, inspect the current flashing, gutters, and drain pipes.
Certain areas or sides of an industrial roof could show water damage or signs of increased drainage flow. When irregularities in the roof are found, it will be considered in the redesigning process.
When shingles from your roof fall from their adhesive backing or nails give out, they leave the insulating and adhesive layers open to the elements. The exposure can cause lots of problems that you’ll want to prevent.
There are many reasons why a homeowner may have a leaking chimney. Here are a few of the possible issues and what can be done to resolve them.
The materials and techniques companies use today in roof replacement and everyday residential roofing resulted from historic advances made since the beginning of civilization. Before we were able to mass produce shingles, humans had to build roofs out of whatever they could find.
Ja-Mar Roofing & Sheet Metal would like to take a second to go a little in-depth into each one of these historic types of roofs that led to the modern roof. Know a bit of history behind all of these different styles to see how far roofing has come.
A roof rat is a black rat that climbs that live in your attic. A standard roof rat’s size is 13 to 18 inches long. Some roof rats can also weigh up to 9 ounces.
They are excellent climbers and can get in through any opening. That includes any damaged roofs that may have open holes in the shingles.
If you find a roof rat, act fast. More roof problems could happen by more rats infiltrating buildings. Shingles, tiling, and more could be eliminated by this type of pest.
Over the years, Ja-Mar has dealt with many different roofing shingles types. Each shingle serves the same function of protection your home from the elements. However, they do it in vastly different ways.
Here are just a few of the types we have seen while in the field.
Your roof is locked in a constant battle with the sun. While rain, snow, and hail damage can wreck your roof, the one element that is always wearing your roof away is the sun. The heat and radiation cause the roof to fall apart over time. Without the proper knowledge, summer maintenance of your roof can feel like an uphill battle.
