Questions and Answers
Can a roof inspection in Empire identify hidden damage from wind-lifted shingles?
Absolutely. Our thorough roof inspections are specifically designed to spot the subtle signs of wind damage common in Empire, like creased or missing shingles that may not be visible from the ground. We check the entire roof system, including the underlayment and flashing, to ensure no hidden issues are compromising your home's protection. Early detection during an inspection allows for a simple repair before it becomes a major, costly replacement.
What should I look for in a new roof installation to prevent future ventilation problems?
Preventing improper ventilation starts with the installation. At G&L Roofing, we ensure your new roof includes a balanced system of intake (typically at the soffits) and exhaust (at the ridge) vents. This is crucial for our Alabama climate to allow hot, moist air to escape your attic, preventing mold, wood rot, and premature shingle deterioration. We calculate the exact ventilation needs for your home's size and roof design to ensure long-term efficiency and protection.
How do you repair wind-damaged shingles to prevent them from lifting again?
For effective repair, we don't just replace the damaged shingle; we address the root cause. We use high-wind rated roofing nails and secure the surrounding shingles with a proper nailing pattern as per manufacturer specs. We also inspect and reinforce the underlying sealant strips. This method ensures the repaired section integrates seamlessly with the rest of your roof, restoring its integrity and providing lasting resistance against the next Empire storm.
