Frequently Asked Questions
Why is roof flashing corrosion such a common problem for Mobile homes, and how do you fix it?
Mobile's humid, salty coastal air accelerates corrosion on standard metal flashing. We address this by removing the corroded material, preparing the underlying surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing made from corrosion-resistant metals like aluminum or copper. Proper sealing and integration with your shingles are crucial to prevent future leaks, which is a core part of our repair process.
How can I tell if my attic has poor ventilation, and what problems does it cause in our climate?
Signs include excessively hot attics, ice dam formation in rare cold snaps, premature aging of shingles, and higher cooling bills. In Mobile's heat and humidity, poor ventilation traps moisture, which can lead to mold, wood rot, and reduced insulation effectiveness. We perform an attic inspection to assess your intake and exhaust airflow and recommend solutions like ridge vents, soffit vents, or powered fans to create a balanced, protective system.
What does a comprehensive roof evaluation from Reed Roofing include for a Mobile homeowner?
Our evaluation is tailored to local risks. We thoroughly inspect your roof's surface, flashing (especially around chimneys and vents), gutters, and attic ventilation. We look for the specific wear patterns caused by our weather, check for storm damage, and assess the overall integrity of your roof's protective systems. You'll receive a clear, honest report with prioritized recommendations and options to address any issues we find.
