Winter creates a special attic ventilation problem in areas where snowfall and cold temperatures are common occurrences.  The problem begins with the formation of ice dams which prevent melt water from running off a roof.

If you're planning a major roofing project for your home, we understand that this is going to be a major investment on your part. When considering a company to do the job, you have to make sure that the company you hire has the necessary expertise to take care of this significant investment.

We've all heard of stories from our neighbors and relatives about roofing projects gone bad.  We've heard of leaking, flashing, and other problems because of faulty installation, or low grade materials, or both.

For any roofing system, proper ventilation is a necessity.  Unfortunately, many homeowners overlook this need.  The temperature in your attic can be scorching hot, especially during the summer.

Many homeowners may not understand the importance of having your roof inspected regularly for signs of wear and damage.   As your roof ages, it becomes more and more susceptible to cracks, loose or missing shingles and other wear and tear problems.

Some people think that skylights are luxury additions to a home.  This isn't exactly true, as installing skylights has many other benefits, such as improving your home's lighting, visual appeal, energy efficiency, and overall comfort.

When looking for professionals to work on your home, your contractor should be able to provide accurate and up-to-date information about your roofing system.

One important way to prevent leaks and other costly roof repairs is to have your roof inspected by professionals before winter arrives.

While we can't stop winter from occurring, residents should be prepared for ice and snow storms which can hit at anytime.
