Whether it’s a residential roofing system or a commercial one, moisture is the number one enemy of any roof. After all, it can sometimes be difficult to spot and once you do, your roof may be damaged beyond repair. There are many ways moisture can damage your roof so it’s best that you learn everything you can about them as soon as possible.
Windows are a significant but worthwhile investment to make for your home. After all, no home is complete without them. With that in mind, since it’s such a significant investment, you should get nothing but the best option. While this may seem like a difficult task, all you actually have to do is think about a few factors when choosing and purchasing your product.
When you’re choosing your new shingles for your roof replacement, your contractor will likely ask you to choose between two types of asphalt shingles: fiberglass and organic. While both may have an asphalt exterior, the main difference between them lies in their base. For instance, fiberglass shingles are fitted with a fiberglass mat while organic mats are usually made of wood products such as paper. Both are strong, affordable and can protect your home but they both have their individual advantages and disadvantages.
Hailstorms can cause massive damage to your roofing system and summer just so happens to be a time when they seem to be frequent. No homeowner wants to get a roof repair or replacement every time a hailstorm rolls around so it’s understandable if you want to get a roof that can stand its ground against hail. Thankfully, there are different roofing materials that will suit your needs.
There’s nothing like spending a relaxing summer afternoon on an outdoor deck. Aside from the additional living space that decks provide, they can also function as a decorative element that adds to your home’s overall value. This dual-purpose function is the reason why decks are second only to residential roofing in the top most popular exterior remodeling projects this year.
Home improvement projects are often easier said than done. Unless you already consider yourself a pretty handy person, there’s really no reason not to hire a professional exterior painting service when your home needs a new coat. Painting a house sounds like a pretty simple and straightforward task. For homes with simple architecture, say, a one-story box with straight edges and well-defined features, you can probably do without the help of a contractor. But when your home is a three-story Victorian with gingerbread patterns, bay windows and plenty of dormers, things can get a little bit complicated.
As your asphalt shingle roof approaches the end of its life span, you may notice you’re needing roof repair visits more frequently than usual. Normal wear and tear on shingles include curling, clawing, fish-mouthing and loss of granulation. When there has been too much granule loss in the shingle, its structure will begin to buckle under its own weight. This typically starts right at the center, creating a concave crater that resembles a shallow cup, hence its name, cupping.
Fiberglass has been a staple in home construction since its discovery right at the turn of the ’30s. This versatile material has seen usage as an excellent insulation option for both siding and roofing installation projects, keeping homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Fiberglass and Owens Corning® share a rich history together that resulted in the company’s use of a popular cartoon panther, the Pink Panther, as its official mascot.
