Question Answers
I'm seeing granules in my gutters after a storm. Is this a serious problem for my Columbia home?
Granule loss is a common local issue, often accelerated by our intense sun and heavy rain. While some loss is normal over time, significant granule wash-off can expose your asphalt shingles to UV damage and shorten their lifespan. Watts & Associates recommends a professional roof inspection to assess the extent of the wear. Our team can determine if targeted repairs, a protective coating, or a full replacement is the most cost-effective solution to protect your home from further water damage.
What does being a GAF Master Elite Contractor mean for my roofing project?
As one of the elite roofing contractors in Columbia certified by GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer, Watts & Associates meets rigorous standards for licensing, insurance, and reputation. This certification provides you access to premium, durable roofing materials and strong manufacturer warranties. It also reflects our team's commitment to ongoing training in proper installation techniques, ensuring your roof is built to last against the specific weather challenges we face in South Carolina.
My commercial building has a persistent leak. Can you handle a complex repair on an occupied facility?
Absolutely. With over 42 years of experience and unlimited bonding capacity, we routinely manage projects for occupied healthcare and educational facilities. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the leak's source. We then implement precise waterproofing techniques, such as fluid-applied systems or targeted membrane repairs, with minimal disruption.
