Nature, like so many pleasant things, is best appreciated in a time and manner of your own choosing. Having it invade your house and scamper around while you’re trying to sleep is not much fun. In much of your house, rats, mice and various sorts of insect and spider are likely to be the problem, but in your roof, the three main culprits are likeliest to be squirrels, bats and raccoons. A Charlotte roofing company can make your attic a lot less attractive to raccoons by going over it, finding the holes and weak spots and fixing them up. This won’t completely eliminate the risk — if a raccoon has no other options, it can and will simply tear shingles out of the roof and come in that way. But there are a lot of roofs in your neighborhood, and probably not that many raccoons, so it’s likely a pregnant female raccoon will look for a softer target. If one does break in this way, call a wildlife removal expert, and then (once it’s gone and cleanup is done, please) your Charlotte roofing company.

Charlotte and Concord, NC, like much of the East Coast, are experiencing wild swings in temperature and sunny days alternating with heavy rain. This sort of weather puts a surprising amount of wear and tear on the roof. It may not be long before you find yourself looking for a roofing contractor to fix the damage before you need to completely replace the roof. With them out of the way, the BBB suggests you look for a roofing contractor that’s a member of at least one professional association. Go to home shows in order to meet roofing contractors face to face. Go to friends and family and ask them for recommendations. When you talk to a roofing contractor, ask for references, such as previous customers. Advanced Roofing and Exteriors are the best roofing contractor in Charlotte and Concord, NC.

When should you replace your Charlotte or Concord, NC roof, instead of just repairing it? As with cars, when weighing the cost of repairs versus the cost of replacement, you have to consider the age of the roof and whether you might soon need to replace it anyway. An asphalt shingle roof should last about twenty years, and the repair costs start to go up in the second decade. The first thing the roof installer will do is remove the old roofing material to get at the deck underneath. A good roof installer will do this without leaving any shingles or other debris lying around. The installer puts a water shield over the deck to keep rain from getting in through the nail holes. Then the installer lays the shingles so as to minimize the number of exposed nail heads. All this should take one to three days.

Although more expensive than asphalt shingles, metal roofing is a smart investment if you’re a Charlotte or Concord, NC homeowner and you want to stay in your house for more than twenty years — or if you just want to be able to resell it at a higher price. And if you’re a real estate investor trying to boost the resale value of the homes you own, it may also work for you. If a metal roof is maintained by professionals, it is capable of enduring the worst nature can throw at it for 40 to 60 years. It doesn’t get hit by lightning more often than other kinds of roof, and it will never catch fire. But to have metal roofing installed — especially standing seam metal roofing and other types of roofing that aren’t anything like shingles or wooden shakes — you need workers who know how to do this particular kind of work and make sure the resulting roof will keep out the water and the noise of rain. Advanced Roofing and Exteriors are the best roofing contractors in Charlotte and Concord, NC, and they offer a 30 to 50 year warranty on their metal roofing panels and shingles. They have won the Angie’s List Super Service Award twice. If you are interested in a metal roof for a building in Charlotte or Concord, NC, call today. |
