ROOF & SIDING
Roofing and siding are your home first line of defense against the elements. Water, wind, sun, and unwanted guests are kept out of a properly roofed and sided home. Roofing options are many, slate, clay, metal, cedar, roll out for flat roofs, but asphalt shingles are by far the most widely used material, and they have a life span of a couple decades depending on the manufacturer. As for singing materials, wood, vinyl, and aluminum used to be the standard, nowadays cement fiber, PVC and composites are making their way through the market. Although materials vary in durability and it may take years to consider a full roof or siding replacement, maintenance and repairs are common.
Roofing singles and siding materials are just the superficial part of a system. Even if they may seem to be rightly installed, equal care to underlying components is required, the right underlayment material, proper flashing, along with an adequate venting system for an attic. Understanding how these systems work in conjunction is key to a successful project, its here where experience and craftsmanship come to play. This is specially challenging if roof and siding are not done at the same time, as is the case in many re-roofing projects and sectional repairs. In addition, some areas prone to leak may require repair sooner than others. Sections or your roof and siding required special attention: headwalls where continuous flashing strips are installed, sidewalls where step flashing is needed, and roof penetrations like chimneys, vents, dormers, skylights.
