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.

Prep Your Yard for Spring Storms
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
– Tie down outdoor furniture when high winds are expected
– Look for dead or decaying trees and consider removal
Following any major storm it’s a good idea to have a roof inspection so you can be aware of any possible damage. It may not be visible from the ground. Schedule a free roof inspection with Phoenix Roofing at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

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

When storms hit, you’ll often receive solicitations from people claiming to be able to fix your roof, quickly and cheaper than anyone else. Often these companies are based out of town and they move in following severe weather. Are there offers too good to be true? Here are a few reasons you may want to go with a local roofing company.
Local roofing companies are invested in their community. They aren’t going to leave and head to the next job without any way to reach them with questions or complaints. Local roofers know that their customer base comes from doing a good job in the community they live in.
Working with a local roofer allows you to see examples of their work and talk to previous customers. You can get recommendations and talk with someone who has worked with them before. This often isn’t possible with an out of town company.
Roofing companies that work locally will be around to do more work in the future. As repairs may be needed or even a new roof, they will be available. Working with a local company can also assist in filing the necessary documents with your insurance company and giving them a reputable organization to contact.
Phoenix Roofing has deep roots in its community with many happy customers available to speak to for references. We offer free roof inspections and will give you an honest assessment as to what work needs to be done and how long it will take. In good weather or bad Phoenix Roofing is the local company you can count on to be there.
