Hail Damage

Most people in Minnesota don’t even realize they have had hail damage to their roof , siding , or fascia materials. The impact of hail damage can loosen, fracture or remove granules from your asphalt shingles.  Hail can leave tiny to large pits in your siding and fascia as well. The granules protect the asphalt from sunlight and Ultra Violet Light (U.V.). The roofing asphalt will deteriorate very quickly once it has had hail impact and is exposed to the sun. This is the reason hail damaged roofing will prematurely fail.  Hail damaged roofs may or may not show up immediately as visual damage to the inexperienced observer. In some cases, the effects may not be visible or apparent for about a year or two. The effects of a hailstorm void the shingle manufacturer’s warranty, as they cannot warrant against “Acts of God” such as hailstorms

If your roofing or siding was damaged in the latest storm that hit Golden Valley, MN contact a reliable roofing contractor that has experience in the insurance claim process to assist you.

Has Your Home Received Storm Damage From The June17 2010 Storm That Went Through Minnesota?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Storms can cause unidentifiable damage to your roof and requires a trained eye to catch.  Your roof is much more then just your shield from the elements, it’s the first part of your house to catch the rain and snow.  If there is damage to the roof small amounts of rain can seep in, leaving you with a larger repair in the future and one likely to come out of your pocket.  Insurance claims have expiration dates.  If you fail to file in the allotted amount of time you lose your right to claim the damage.  If you house has been hit by a storm and you would like a free exterior home inspection give us a call to set up your appointment.

Storms with straight-line winds or hail produce the most damage to your roofing and siding. Not to mention when your house has been hit the spots become an eyesore.  Little dents can eventually weaken, which will open your house up to water and possibly mold issues you will never see coming until it’s too late.  When in doubt, check it out.  Call a professional roofing contractor to set up your free exterior home inspection.

Do You Know How To Spot If You Need A New Roof?

Damage To Your Roof?

Shingles don’t last forever.  If they are more than a decade old, it is time to take a look.  Do you know how to spot if you need a new roof?

Age is the biggest factor.  An asphalt-shingle roof, which is the most popular in America, is likely to last an average of 13 years.

Here are some key danger signs that your roof needs to be replaced.

  • Attic leak-wet, rainy climates
  • Attic leakage-icy, winter climates
  • Blistering/peeling paint
  • Interior stains
  • Exterior decay
  • Cracking and curling
  • Dirty looking areas
  • Energy loss
Leakage in attic after wind-driven rain
Possible cause: Leaky or inadequate shingle underlayment or deteriorated flashing

Leakage in attic after ice build-up
Possible cause: Inadequate shingle underlayment allows water from ice dams to leak into attic>
Blistering and/or peeling of interior and/or exterior paint
Possible cause: Excessive temperature or high humidity due to poor attic ventilation
Stains on interior ceilings and walls or mold and mildew growth
Possible cause: Inadequate or faulty shingle underlayment allowing leakage or inadequate ventilation
Decay of roof shingles, sheathing, and/or siding
Possible cause: Poor attic ventilation
Missing, cracked or curled shingles
Possible cause: Shingles have reached the end of their useful life
Dark, “dirty-looking” areas on your roof
Possible cause: Environmental pollutants; vegetation, fungus or algae; loss of granules due to age of shingles
Excessive energy costs
Possible cause: Insufficient attic ventilation causes heating/cooling system to run excessively

In warm weather, inadequate ventilation will trap hot air in the attic, causing air conditioning systems to work harder, or leaving your home’s interior hotter and less comfortable.  Attic Ventilation: In both hot and cold weather, insufficient attic ventilation may cause moisture in the attic to become trapped and condense on the rafters.  This condensed moisture can drip down onto the insulation and reduce its effectiveness.
Excessive energy costs can result.
