Skywalker Roofing is one of North Carolina's leading residential roofing providers. We offer a wide range of residential roof replacement and installation services, and we always start each project with a comprehensive assessment. This allows us to approach each project from a unique perspective, ensuring that we can recommend and perform the necessary tasks to extend the life of your roof. Many times, only a portion of your roof may need to be replaced. Some companies will tell you to replace your entire roof, which can cost you thousands of dollars. However, Skywalker Roofing is different. We are happy to help customers who only need roof repairs. We provide free roof repair estimates and back our work with a 2-year warranty on the repaired area. (https://tinyurl.com/2x5z9hbp)
If your home or commercial building is in need of roof repairs, small problems can quickly turn into big problems. When it comes to roof repairs and roof inspections, it's wise to be proactive rather than negligent. Small roof repairs can prevent bigger problems and save you a lot of headaches later on.
Here are some common causes of roof problems that can lead to damage to the interior of your home or building. Proper maintenance and necessary repairs can help avoid these common problems, such as:
▸ Flashing: Flashing that is improperly installed or has aged can allow water to seep in around it or through cracks. Damaged flashing should be replaced. Flashing that is in good condition requires the proper amount of caulking around its edges to prevent water from seeping into the structure.
▸ Gutters and Downspouts: When gutters and downspouts become clogged, standing water can sit on the roof surface near the gutters for a long time. Standing water that is not properly dispersed through gutters and downspouts can easily cause roof leaks. Proactive roof maintenance should be performed regularly to remove debris from gutters and downspouts to avoid this problem. We repair this system as needed to keep it in good working order, which can help extend the life of your roof.
▸ Shingles: Problems with roof shingles include broken, loose, and missing shingles. Early signs of failure include shingle bubbling, bending, cracking, curling, and/or warping. Shingles may be worn and the granular finish is almost non-existent. Replacing shingles as needed can prevent additional problems.
▸Chimneys: Chimneys are a potential source of some leaking problems. A cracked chimney can allow water to seep in. The flashing around the chimney that connects to the roof may not be secure. The chimney cap (which is used to prevent rain from falling in) may be damaged or missing.
▸Vent pipes: There are rubber boots on the bottom of the vent pipes that connect the pipes to the roof and help hold the pipes in place. Cracks in the rubber boots around the vent pipes are a common cause of roof leaks, especially if the building has moved over time. It is important to regularly check the integrity of the rubber boots and the sealant used to hold them in place. Replacing the rubber boots and/or adding more sealant as needed is a way to avoid problems in this area.
▸Moss accumulation: Areas on the roof that have a lot of moss can cause wood rot because the moss absorbs moisture. To prevent this problem, the moss should be removed and the roof under the moss should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
▸Weather damage: Rain, ice, snow, sleet, and hail can all damage the roof. During the winter, the weight of snow and ice on your roof can damage it. That’s why it’s best to inspect your roof before winter arrives and then again in the spring after the snow melts.
Inspection
The inspection will reveal any problems and show the owner what needs to be done to fix them. Skywalker Roofing uses digital video to show the building owner or homeowner the problems found during the inspection and why they need to be fixed. An estimate of the cost of the repair will be given, and if the repair required is extensive, an estimate for a full roof replacement will also be given for comparison.
Preparation
Once Skywalker Roofing has been awarded the bid and the contract signed, preparation for the work begins. All damaged roofing materials will be removed. The area that needs repair will be cleaned and prepared for the replacement parts to be installed.
Repair
The repair is completed on time, on budget, and with as little disruption to the property as possible.
Added Protection
Rest assured that your leak has been fixed and is covered by a 2-year warranty, with regular inspections every 6 months during that time. (https://tinyurl.com/2x5z9hbp)
