The roof is one of the most important components of any house or building, it protects the property from the natural elements while increasing comfort and aiding in the efficiency of the home. The famous saying  “a roof over our heads” is a common saying when considering a home. We can construct a structure to live but with no roof, it would not be livable, even prehistoric Man always found a place with a covering above his head so that he could live comfortably with his loved ones, and we are doing the same. Often roofing services include roofing repairs, roof replacement, and roof installation but there are a number of other services we provide at 4 Weather Insulation & Roofing including roof flashing, roof ventilation, and roof underlayment.

Roofing Materials

Modern homes have many options when it comes to roofing and roofing systems. Common roofing materials include asphalt shingles, tiles, galvanized sheets and even concrete each roofing material has its benefits, from cost to longevity, to find your perfect roofing system contact a roofing contractor. Installing the different types of roofs needs professional expertise and has to be carried out as per manufacturers and architects recommendations and design.

Roofing Installations

Installing a roof alone would not suffice as there are other auxiliary services which would need to be installed and regularly carried out to ensure that the roof provides adequate and optimum protection and long time trouble free service. Every installed roof would need gutters to ensure that rain and water are at a fair distance from the property, flashing to prevent leaks and to flow water off the roof, underlayment for water protection and soffit and fascia.

Roof Maintenance

Roofs are our first line of defense in any type of weather be it during the harsh winter or the hot summer. Roofs are frequently damaged by hail, and if your home has been damaged by hail we recommend getting the roof inspected for damages and making the necessary repairs.

To ensure that your roof and all its auxiliary components are providing you that protection, the roof would need to be meticulously inspected by a professional periodically, which should be at least annually. Roofs have to be checked for leaks and if any are detected, they should be immediately attended to.

A leaking roof could damage the roof structure which could be very expensive to repair, if not attended to at the early stages which if left neglected could bring the roof down on your head.

The gutters and downpipes have to be cleaned regularly as leaves and other debris blown around by the wind could land on your roof and when it rains flow down and block the gutters and downpipes. If any gutters or downpipes are damaged they would need to be replaced immediately to ensure that no damage to walls or other areas of the house occurs.
