I Live In Santa Clara And Need Quality Roof Care; Who Do I Call?

Located in the beautiful Bay Area of California, Santa Clara is one of the most heavily populated cities in the region, boasting a population of approximately 100,000 people. With such a concentrated population, it only means one thing: a substantial amount of houses and rooftops that need care and attention, often times not at ideal times. So, when the need arises, who do you know how to call? Unfortunately, not all roofing companies are created equal, and finding the right one can be a time consuming and potentially frustrating process. You can talk with friends, family and co-workers for references, read online reviews, or simply choose a company at random. Or you can call 1-800-Roofcare and take out the guess work of the process.

Great! But I don't think my roof is damaged—should I still call a roofing company?

Yes! Obviously, your roof is one of the most important, not to mention vulnerable, parts of your house, and you don't need to wait until it's leaking or damaged to call on roofing company. It is recommended that roofs be inspected twice a year, usually in the spring and the fall. It is also recommended that roofs be checked after hail storms and other severe weather. Having your roof inspected on a regular basis can potentially save you time, money and hassle down the road. Our contractors will check for the following:

• Insulation and ventilation: If these areas are not treated, then you can lose money in heating costs, as well as run the risk of water damage.
• Flashing: Flashing is an important weather proofing tool, as it decreases the amount of interior water damage.
• Gutters: These are important as well, as they allow water to drain down the side of the house. If these are cluttered with debris, then water damage can occur and the roof may bear excessive weight.
• Soffit: This is a mesh-like barrier located in the hang of your roof, and is designed to keep out insects and other small animals. However, it can be chewed through over time, allowing animals to get into your home and cause damage.

These are just some of the components of your roof, and our experts will check these and other areas while performing the inspection.

I think my roof may be damaged. What are some signs?

There are several signs of visible roof damage:

• Visible buckling: This occurs when a roof is not properly ventilated or insulated. If there are several areas showing visible buckling, then it may be time to have a new roof installed.
• Shingles in the yard: If you find roof shingles in your yard, this is another sign of roof damage.
• A sagging ceiling: This can potentially be a source of water damage, and it is important to check for it both inside and out. Also be sure to check the attic, as this is where water damage will occur first.
• Discolored or rotting shingles: Shingles are an important part of your roof, and damage to them means it's time to have work done.
• Mold or mildew: Santa Clara has a warm climate, and this can lead to mold or mildew forming, and over time it can cause serious structural damage.

Another factor to consider is the age of your roof. If it is over 20 years old, the cost of repairing it could be more than the cost of simply replacing it. These are just some of the signs of roof damage, and the professionals in our network will fix these and other areas, or in some instances, may replace the entire roof.
