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.

Even if you live in an area that doesn’t receive the harsh winter storms we see in the northern states, winter can still take a toll on your roof. It’s important to make sure your roof is in peak condition before the cold temperatures and winter storms hit. Phoenix Roofing can provide a free roof inspection so you can focus on staying cozy this season.
Winter can affect your roof in many ways including:
– Snow can melt and enter through cracks in your roof
– Homeowners can accidentally damage their shingles by trying to remove snow
– Rock salt used to keep snow melting can damage the exterior or even void your roof warranty
– Wind damage may pick up during the winter resulting in a loss of shingles
– Hail or sleet can can weaken shingles

Missing Shingles
If you walk around your home one morning and notice a few roof shingles on the ground what should you do? Is this really a problem? The experienced team at Phoenix Roofing can help put your mind at ease when it comes to missing shingles.
Wind damage is the number one reason that shingles come off your roof. They can also fall off due to poor quality and improper installation. Do regular visual inspections of your roof especially after storms or especially windy days.
Missing shingles shouldn’t immediately cause a roof leak. However over time it may lead to a leak or structural issue if not addressed. Phoenix Roofing can provide a free roof inspection to ensure there are no major issues and handle the ones that exist. Schedule your free inspection online at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.
