Even though our winter here in Arizona isn’t as extreme as other areas in the country, we get occasionally stunned with heavy rain fall, hail, and intense winds. Your roof needs to be protected from any type of weather condition. The most important thing homeowners could do as winter approaches, is to ensure the roof is strong and in good condition. Experienced roofers suggest these tips to prepare your roof for the winter months… 

1. Clean Gutters- Over time, your gutters collect leaves, twigs, and debris. The gutters should be cleaned out 1-2x a year. If you don’t want to hire someone to clean them, you can safely set up a ladder, remove the debris, and use a garden hose to rinse out the gutters. Ensure the gutters are functioning correctly and if they aren’t, hire a professional for repairs.  
2. Trim Trees- If you have tall trees close to the house, trim them. Trim and maintain trees to ensure sturdiness and assist in keeping the gutters clear. Also, keeping overhanging branches trimmed back reduces the opportunity for branches to fall and damage your roof during a windy storm.   
3. Roof Sealant- Winter in Phoenix, Arizona during the afternoon is warm and sunny but at night the temperature drastically lowers. The up and down temperature change can negatively impact your roof. When it’s warm during the day, the roof expands and when it’s cold, the roof contracts. These swift temperature changes can cause damage to the gutters and roof system. Apply roof sealant. Roof sealant helps to maintain a steady temperature so it’s not expanding and contracting. Additionally, roof sealant protects from water damage! 
4. Roof Inspection- Call a trusted roofing company to schedule a roof inspection. Experienced roofers can see if there are any areas that may need to be repaired. If damage is found, they can provide options to either repair or replace the roof.

Regular Roof Inspections:

Scheduling routine roof inspections and maintenance is a great way to reduce roof damages that can cause bigger issues like leaks and internal damage. A general rule of thumb is to have an experienced roofer inspect your roof at least twice a year, during the spring and fall.

Self Roof Inspection:

It’s okay to check the roof yourself for things like damaged or missing shingles but it does take a thorough roof inspection by someone who knows what they’re doing to ensure your roofs durability. Having a successful roof inspection done takes time and experience. Hiring an expert roof inspector is best because they have more experience, tools, skills, and knowledge. The roof inspector is able to thoroughly go through your roof system to spot damages and areas of concern.

Signs of Needed Roof Repair:

➡️ Leaks

➡️ Increased Electric Bills

➡️Damaged or Lost Shingles

Fall will be here in Arizona in just a few weeks… we hope so anyways! That means cooler weather and falling leaves. As we go through the hustle and bustle of what the next couple of seasons bring, take some time to consider your roof. Get your roof prepared for the fall season before getting carried away with holiday shopping. Some fall roof maintenance tips you can follow are listed below.

Clear the Gutters- Clear and clean the gutters of leaves, twigs, and debris. Over time, debris can buildup and block the gutters. When the gutters are clogged, water can not flow down them as intended. If the water pools on your roof because of this, damage from excessive moisture can occur.

Inspect Attic- Take a look around in the attic. IF you see insulation covering vents, clear it. It’s important there is air circulation in the attic. Also, if you see evidence of rodents, birds, or termites, can them removed.

Trim Trees- If you have tall trees around your home, be sure to cut back any branches that over hang. When branches fall onto the roof, they can cause damage. To avoid this, cut them back.

Clear the Roof- While you’re up there, clear the roof of any debris, branches, leaves, or twigs after trimming the trees. Having a buildup of this can eventually get into your gutters and as listed earlier, you don’t want those getting clogged.

Roof Inspection- Find your local roofing company to schedule a roof inspection. During the roof inspection, the roofer will look through your roof top to bottom taking notes of concerns and damages. They will present you with options to correct the issues. Getting these problems corrected sooner rather than later, reduces the likelihood for extensive damages that will result in costly repairs or replacement.

Whether it’s spending hours in the pool or sitting in front of a fan all day, we will do whatever we can. Fortunately, there are ways of cooling our homes down and one of those is foam roofing.  

What is Foam Roofing? 

Foam roofing is the process of spraying a commonly flat roof with a Polyurethane Foam that expands about 20x to cover the entire roof. The foam thickens and solidifies to create a waterproof barrier.  

What is the Foam Roofing installation process like?  

1. Roof prep includes clearing debris and gravel. 

2. From a machine inside the truck, the hose will be connected to include the spray gun at the end. 

3. The roofer will bring the spray gun alongside the house and onto the roof to begin the spray foam process. 

4. For the first layer, the Polyurethane foam will be sprayed. 

5. The second layer will be a base coat of paint.  

6. Following the second layer will be the white topcoat.
