Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Sloan Roofing hand-nail shingles instead of using only nail guns?
In our over 60 years serving South Carolina, we've learned that proper fastening is critical for durability, especially in our area's wind. While efficient, nail guns can sometimes set nails too deep or at the wrong angle, which can lead to shingles loosening or blowing off over time. By hand-nailing each shingle, we ensure consistent, secure placement. This meticulous approach, passed down through three generations of our family, is a key part of how we build roofs that last and protect your Elgin home from storm damage.
What should I do if I suspect wind has damaged my roof's flashing or shingles?
If you notice missing granules, curled shingle edges, or see daylight near your chimney or vents after a storm, it's wise to get a professional assessment. For Elgin residents, Sloan Roofing provides detailed roof inspections to identify issues like wind-lifted shingles or separated flashing—common local problems. We'll check the sealant and fasteners around all penetrations and in valleys. Catching and repairing these issues early prevents water intrusion and more extensive damage, saving you money and preserving your roof's integrity.
Does Sloan Roofing handle both siding and skylight installations?
Yes, we do. As a full-service exterior contractor, we expertly manage both siding projects and skylight installations. For siding, we offer installation, repair, and replacement using quality materials suited to our climate. For skylights, our roofing expertise is crucial; we ensure the unit is flashed and integrated seamlessly with your existing roof system to prevent any future leaks. This comprehensive approach means we can coordinate multiple exterior projects, ensuring everything from your walls to your roof works together to protect your home.
