Antennas and Roof Damage
These days with so many people choosing to cut the cord from cable companies – antennas have seen a resurgence in popularity. People attempt to get as many channels over the airwaves as possible and a good antenna might just help you do that. When it comes to placement – roofs may be the best option for signal but not the best option for roof maintenance.
If you’re thinking about installing an antenna on your roof first check your neighborhood covenants. Some areas do not allow roof antennas and it’s better to find out before purchasing. If you are allowed to have an antenna – consider other options besides roof placement for several reasons.
– Creating any holes in your roof could lead to potential damage and leaks
– Antennas can be damaged in storms or blown down by wind causing it to become a dangerous projectile
– Most antennas today are not grounded and could be struck by lightning that may damage your roof or home itself
If you moved into a home that already has an antenna it’s a good idea to have a roof inspection to make sure there are no existing problems from its placement or installation. Phoenix Roofing provides free inspections and can help you know that your roof is in good condition. Visit www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

How Your Roof Affects Your Home Value
Today’s selling market is competitive. Home inspections are a normal part of the home buying process to protect the buyers before they close the sale. Your roof condition plays an important role in the overall value of your home. Ensure you know what condition your roof is in before you’re surprised as a home seller.
A new roof is a huge advantage when selling a home. For homebuyers who may have just spent a large down payment, they have the peace of mind that a large roofing expense isn’t on the table. A new roof will save potential buyers time and money.
A damaged roof will hurt your home’s value in the eyes of the buyer and the home inspector. A leaking or unkept roof may make potential buyers question the rest of the home’s condition. Most home buyers assume the roof will have been maintained and may choose to move on to another home if it’s not.
So before you think to list your home – have it inspected by the team at Phoenix Roofing. We know what to look for in the condition of your roof and how to repair issues that may be present. If you need a new roof – Phoenix are the experts in that area as well. Set up your free inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Spring Roof Inspection
Winter can be hard on a lot of things including your roof. The extreme cold, rain, ice and swinging temperatures can all do a number on your roofing system. It is important not to neglect this area of your home as it is a vital piece of your home’s security structure. Phoenix Roofing offers free roof inspections to make sure your roof is in the best shape possible for spring storm season.
A roof inspection after winter will look for damage such as granule run off from damaged shingles, which can block gutters and cause water build up. This inspection also checks for snow or ice damage to shingles that show in cracks or curling. Areas around roof penetrations also need to be inspected to ensure the seals are not broken.
Most major roofing manufacturers recommend inspections from certified professional roofing inspections and with Phoenix Roofing’s free inspection guarantee why would you choose anything else? Set up an appointment online at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Storm damage cannot be completely prevented. Wind, rain, hail and even lightning are all part of the spring severe weather season and could impact your home. However there are a few steps you can take to try and reduce the risk to your property, especially your roof. Your roof is a vital part of your home’s protection system and needs to be cared for accordingly.
Yard Prep for Storms
– Trim any overhanging branches or trees close to your home
– Remove any debris that may be clogging gutters

Spring storms can bring all kinds of weather – especially high winds. When does wind become a problem for most roofs today? You may be surprised at the answer. The team at Phoenix Roofing has the experience and know-how when it comes to checking roofs for wind damage and repairing them quickly.
Straight line winds or derecho winds can be associated with spring storms. How those winds affect your roof depends on many factors including what your roof is made of and the age of your roof. Winds do not come across roofs uniformly so the damage may be hard to spot without a thorough examination.
It only takes a wind gust of 60 mph to cause possible significant damage to your roof. Don’t wait until your roof starts to fail before you recognize a problem. Schedule a free roof inspection with Phoenix Roofing at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Spring Rains – Roof Threat
One of the main threats to your roof structure during the spring season is the overabundance of rain. Heavy rain can lead to trapped water eventually turning into moisture damage. As the temperatures change and warm, sealants around your roof penetrations can fail and water can get in. This combination of extra moisture and rapidly changing temperatures can be a danger to your roof’s stability.
If there are cracks, holes or penetrations into the membrane (the layer under your shingles) it opens your roof up to another spring problem – pests! As animals begin to wake up and search for food or shelter you may run into issues with ants, squirrels, racoons, termites and birds.
A thorough roof inspection can determine if your roof is vulnerable and help you have any issues addressed quickly before they grow into something more serious. Schedule your free inspection with Phoenix Roofing at www.phoenixroofingsc.com

Hidden Roof Damage
It doesn’t take a tree laying on top of your house for storm damage to occur. Most roof damage is unnoticeable to the untrained eye and may not stand out from the yard below. Fortunately Phoenix Roofing knows what to look for and how to address any roof issues quickly and efficiently.
Hail damage is especially hard to detect unless the hail was unusually large. However even small-sized hail can cause significant damage by loosening granules and affecting the integrity of the shingles. Loose granules can expose the underlying asphalt and decrease the lifespan of your roof. This is especially timely since Chapin experienced a small hailstorm on September 7, according to NOAA.
Wind damage, although it may not be visible, can leave your roof vulnerable to leaks through loose areas or damaged shingles. This could eventually lead to structural issues or the growth of mold and mildew.
Phoenix Roofing provides free roof inspections and has the expertise to identify damage before it becomes a bigger issue. Set up your inspection before the next storm rolls into town and makes the problem worse! Visit www.phoenixroofingsc.com
