Arctic temperatures are making your home’s systems work harder to keep you comfortable inside. This means more heat running, fireplaces burning and blankets layering. So how does your roof help with all of this? In a lot of ways actually!
Asphalt shingles on your roof absorb heat from the sun which leads to a warmer home in the winter months. If your roof is a darker color it will absorb even more heat from the sun. This will lead to the attic of your home being warmer and helping to keep your home snug in the cold.
Insulation in your attic helps to maintain the temperature of your home as well. It can keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If you’re unsure about the amount of insulation in your home, a roof inspection can help! Phoenix Roofing knows what to look for to make sure your home stays dry and comfortable.

Artic temperatures dipped into the deep south this past week and are expected to stick around for most of January. So what does this mean for your roof? During extremely cold temperatures your roof could be prone to ice dams – a potentially harmful condition that needs attention from a roofing expert like Phoenix Roofing.
Ice dams are a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of the room and keeps water from rain or melting snow from draining off the roof. This can lead to water backups and ultimately leaks in the home.
Steps that can help remove or prevent ice dams are:
– Remove snow from the roof – gently so as not to damage the shingles
– Ensure the roof is air tight
– Increase insulation between the house and attic space
If you are concerned that your home has issues with snow or ice build up or that weaknesses in the home make it susceptible to leaks schedule a free home inspection with Phoenix Roofing. Visit us online at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

If you’re not familiar with roofing terminology you may have heard the term “dormer” and not been sure exactly what it means. Your roof may even have a dormer and you don’t know it! At its most basic, a dormer is a small structure that protrudes from the roof and typically contains a window. It may be a window for an upstairs bedroom or just add some aesthetic value to the look of the roof.
The most common type of dormer is a gable dormer. They feature a roof with a peak and slopes on either side. They can be used with a variety of home architectural styles including craftsman, tudor and colonial. Gabled dormers often match the look and style of the rest of the roof.
Dormers provide various benefits including:
– Increased natural light
– Improved ventilation
– Extra room or headscape
– Emergency exits
– Additional style and interest on the home’s exterior
If you think your home could benefit from a dormer or if you have a dormer that may need inspection or repair contact the team at Phoenix Roofing. You can schedule a free inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Roofs are prone to all kinds of damage over the years but one issue you may not be familiar with is roof shrinking. Here is a brief overview of what roof shrinking is and what problems it can lead to. Phoenix Roofing is a local expert on all things roofing and ready to address any roof damage or aging issues.
Roof shrinking occurs when the membrane around your roofing materials begins to shrink exposing those materials to the elements. Exposed roofing components are more prone to damage, cracks, rips, tears or leaks. This can worsen over time.
Typically roof shrinking is caused by poor installation or bad materials. It can also be caused by poor roof design or venting issues. Roof shrinking requires professional attention as soon as possible. Schedule a roof inspection with Phoenix Roofing at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

You may never have heard of a shiner in reference to your roof before but it’s important you know what it means and why it’s important. Poor roof installation can lead to a host of problems and Phoenix Roofing understands the importance of regular inspections to ensure problems are addressed as soon as possible.
Shiners are basically roofing nails that protrude through the roofing deck allowing you to see the “shine” of the nail when inspecting your roof. These nails are improperly installed and miss the framing of the roof. This problem is common but can lead to bigger issues.
Shiners can collect condensation that can then drip into your attic space leading to water damage or mildew and mold growth. They need to be repaired completely before larger moisture issues develop.

One of the biggest dangers to your roof during the colder months is condensation. Condensation can occur when the warm air in your home reacts with the cold underside of your roof. This can cause condensation which can lead to problems such as:
– Mold and mildew
– Moisture build up in shingles
– Leaks
Condensation build up may mean that your attic is not properly ventilated. This can occur in new or older homes. Prevention is key to addressing roof damage from condensation. Signs of this issue are ceiling leaks or moisture on windows.
If you see any of those signs be sure to contact Phoenix Roofing for an inspection to prevent any further damage. Visit us online to schedule a free roof inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Stay Vigilant
Even this late in the season it appears hurricane season 2024 is not over. Another hurricane is brewing and may make landfall late this week. With recent rains and winds, your roof is more at risk from hurricane storm damage as debris could impact your home. Following any major storm it is important to walk around your home and assess for any possible roof damage.
What to look for:
– Missing shingles
– Excessive granules in gutters, etc
– Possible water spots on your ceiling or walls
– Dark spots or streaks on the roof
– Sagging or weak areas in your ceiling or attic
If you see any signs of roof damage don’t hesitate to schedule a free inspection with Phoenix Roofing. Schedule online at www.phoenixroofingsc.com
