Winter Garden & Clermont Roofer; Avoid Costly Repairs
Our roof plays a big part in protecting our home, family, employees, and guests. Just a small fault, a few raised shingles, a leak in the flashing, using low grade materials, or poor installation, can easily lead to water damage, structural issues, dangerous mold, and increase your heating and cooling cost.
To avoid investing money in costly repairs and make sure your roof stands the test of time, ensure you make it’s done right the first time!
Choose the Right Materials
Though it may not seem that difficult, there are a lot of different variations when it comes to roofing materials. Depending on the type of roof, how big of a slop, and other elements, they all play a part in what type of roofing material is best.
Whatever you do, don’t make the decision based only on the price. Most home and business owners regret skimping on roofing materials. It pays to get a professional opinion, especially here in Central Florida.
Underlayment
The underlayment is the foundation of the roof. It acts as a second layer of protection for the decking, but still allows moisture to be released from inside the home and allows the deck to breath. It also acts as a secondary drainage plane, directing water away from vulnerable places such as joints and seams.
Unlike the traditional felt underlayment, synthetic is designed aid the ventilation process, provides superior waterproofing, and even seals around nails.
Flashing
Also an integral part of your roof, flashing is a weather resistant barrier system placed in valley areas, vents, chimney, and skylights. Due to the intense heat from the sun, high winds, and large amount of water flow, it's typically where water leaks are found.
Poor installation, low quality materials, and cutting corners, is a recipe for disaster, so choose your roofer wisely!
