Square Roofing is proud and grateful to be a part of the roofing and building industry. Our long history here has afforded us the chance to work on many different types of roofs. We are continuously finding issues that we think should be addressed. This blog is a place for us to document and categorize these issues. We think this will be helpful for several different reasons. First, we want our customers to be well informed. Some owners may not know what to expect from a contractor. The information here will help anyone to be better prepared. Second, we want a place where we can build a case for certain topics. Attic ventilation is one of the most common issues found on aging roof systems. Our blogs will address the issue from all angles. Third, our blogs will help display our pursuit of excellence. We look forward to showing the dramatic changes that can be achieved when we’re on the job.
Here’s a short intro to what you’ll find in our future posts
If your roof is starting to look like this, then you might find our discussions on attic ventilation to be of interest. There you’ll see how granule loss is the biggest indicator of poor attic ventilation. If we catch this issue before it’s as bad as the picture shown, we can save the roof. One solution could be attic fans which are controlled by a thermostat. Even when addressing the exhaust, we would still also want to address the intake if possible. When we improve a situation like this, the benefits are numerous!
Some other topics that we’ll be addressing are; different types of standing seam, plumbing pipe flashings, removing all old felt, hail damage and how it ages, and much much more.
