About Roof Restoration
With Roof Restoration, the work focuses on repairing weak spots and refreshing the surface; the condition of the decking and the roof covering decides what is possible; coatings add a protective layer and can improve reflectivity.
Every building is different, and the work behind Roof Restoration is planned around the roof it has and the way the building is used; questions about the process are welcome at any stage; photos of the roof help the discussion before a visit.
Roof Restoration options and materials
Standard asphalt shingles
They are light, familiar to nearly every roofing crew and compatible with a wide range of roof shapes; ventilation and underlayment affect how well the roof performs, whatever shingle is chosen; wind resistance and impact resistance differ between product lines.
Architectural shingles
Premium and designer lines add depth, shadow lines and color blends that imitate slate or wood; the extra thickness can improve wind resistance and durability in many product lines; shadow lines are designed to mimic slate or cedar.
How our Roof Restoration work goes
- Assess the surface, the flashing and the attic The first step is a close look at the surface and at the places where water tends to enter; notes on the age and condition of the existing roof guide the choice between repair and replacement; the ridge, hips and any ridge vent are checked for lifted or missing pieces; notes are compared with the roof plan before any decision.
Common questions about Roof Restoration
How do shingles compare with metal roofing?
The two differ in weight, appearance, installation method and how they handle weather; a side-by-side comparison of samples is a good way to see the differences; samples help show how colors look in daylight.
What should I do about a roof leak?
Start by limiting the damage inside: move furniture, catch the water and photograph the affected area; a temporary cover over the leaking area can limit further damage until permanent repairs are made; a leak at a ceiling can start several feet away on the roof.
