The FAQ of Roofing

Roofs are a big concern for Tyler homeowners. It is one of the most important parts of your home providing you with shelter from the rain and helloing to regulate the temperature of your home. Read this article and learn the answers to some of the most common roof questions.

How often should I have my gutters cleaned?

You should clean them at least twice a year. If you have many trees in the area of your home you should clean them 3 to 4 times a year.

How Do I know if I need a new roof?

You can usually tell with a visual inspection of the shingles. Look for cracks, peeling and any spots where the roof is leaking. If in doubt call a roofer for an inspection.

How long does it take to have a new roof installed?

That depends greatly on your home and the pitch and design of your roof. Most residential roofs can be redone in two days but it could take as long as a week to complete your re-roof.

Why does a roof need ventilation?

Ventilation helps remove the heat that builds up during the summer months and helps reduce moisture buildup under your roof. This helps your roof and shingles last longer by preventing the rooting of the wood and curling or distortion of your shingles.

Hopefully your question has been answered. If you still have more questions, consult your Chandler roofing contractor.
