Roofs Breathe
There is so much that goes into the proper installation, repair or replacement of a roof. It is important to use a roofing company that has the experience and expertise to do the job right. Without the proper installation of a roof ventilation system your whole home could be affected.
Roof ventilation systems are a series of vents that keep air circulation in your home. This keeps your home comfortable and reduces the build up of moisture. Air needs to be able to move through the vents in your roof so that your roof doesn’t overheat.
The team at Phoenix Roofing understands how important air movement is to a roofing system. They also know how to create a ventilation system that won’t allow moisture in or lead to leaks in the future. Visit them online for a free roof inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

How Much is Too Much?
Roof damage can happen for a variety of reasons. This time of year storms are often to blame with hail, rain and wind leading to potential damage. Other issues can come from overhanging branches, ice, animals or even just the age of the roof. So how do you know if you need to repair or replace your roof? Here are a few things to consider.
Here are some questions to ask when considering repairing your roof or replacing it:
– How old is the roof?
– How long do you plan on staying in the home?
– How bad is the damage
– What is my budget for roof repairs?
– What will my insurance cover?
A professional roof inspection will help determine if your roof can be repaired or if the repair costs are so high it warrants a full replacement. Phoenix Roofing has the experience and expertise to help you make an informed decision. Schedule a free roof inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Spring storms are known for their roof damaging capabilities from high winds to hail, but can heavy rain be enough to cause roof problems? Some storms are capable of dumping heavy amounts of rain in a short amount of time. Even without the wind and hail associated with those storms, rain can create its own set of issues.
Water can get underneath your roof shingles and cause damage to the structure of the roof deck leading to potential leaks into your home. Large amounts of rain in a short period of time can overwhelm your home’s gutters leading to possible flooding. Heavy rain will infiltrate even the smallest of cracks in the seals on your roof.
It is important to have regular roof inspections especially in volatile spring conditions. The storms the Southeast has seen recently have been especially intense with heavy downpours. To set up your free roof inspection visit www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Types of Hail
Hail can be one of the most damaging parts of those severe spring storms. This past week areas of the Southeast saw hail ranging in size from very small to baseball size. If your area experiences a hail storm of any kind there are some things you should do to ensure your home and roof are protected.
Hail claims to insurance have to be completed in a specific amount of time or they may not be covered. Be sure not to wait too long! Pay attention to weather reports in your area to see what type of hail occurred. This means looking for descriptions and photos.
While pea size hail may not seem to be an issue, even small hail can cause problems if it is dense enough. Dense hail is often completely clear in color because it contains less air molecules. Dense hail can be very damaging no matter the size because of the impact it causes to your roof.
A professional roof inspection can determine if there was functional or cosmetic damage done to your home. Don’t wait to have this done! If you experienced severe weather schedule a free roof inspection with Phoenix Roofing at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Unexpected Roof Issues
When your roof isn’t working as it should, you may be opening up your home to unexpected guests. Animals and pests of all kinds can see a broken shingle or improperly installed roof vent as an open invitation to come inside. Phoenix Roofing knows how to identify potential problem areas and has the expertise to get them fixed!
Animals often search for a place outside of the elements during times of inclement weather, mating season or when they are going to give birth. All kinds of animals can find themselves in the attic through roof penetrations including bats, birds, racoons, squirrels, rodents, bees and wasps. Signs of potential infestations include hearing scratching noises, seeing nests on the roof, and signs of animal droppings. Animals in your home can cause structural problems as well as health issues so it is important to keep them outside.

Dangers of Delaying Roof Repair
Sometimes it is fun to spend money on home projects – renovations or upgrades that make your home a little more interesting than it was. Roof repairs don’t always fit into that category as it’s something you don’t often see or get to enjoy. However roof repairs are extremely important and delaying them will only lead to more problems later. Phoenix Roofing provides free roof inspections and quick repairs with a knowledgeable and experienced team.
Delaying roof repairs can lead to water infiltration which can result in mold and mildew growth. It only takes 24-48 hours of water exposure for mold and mildew to grow. Leaky roofs can lead to rotted wood or framing structures as well as electrical problems if the water reaches your electrical systems.
The longer you wait to have your roof repaired the more expensive it may get. Insurance may also not cover repairs that result from roof neglect. To ensure your roof is working as it should, schedule a free roof inspection with Phoenix Roofing at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

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.

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.
