• Flashing. At the bottom of any drain or pipe is a small space covered by a flashing. If this is missing it could provide a gateway for water, mold, or rodents to enter your property.
  
• Soffit. A mesh material that covers the bottom of your roof’s hang. The intended goal is to keep out insects, bugs, and rodents. If you see cracks or holes you may already have an issue.
• Fascia. The board that runs along the base of the roof. Because it is made of wood, it is subject to dry rot, weather erosion, and termite damage.
• Shingles. Designed to channel water off your roof. If your shingles are missing, damaged, or out of place they cannot function properly to protect your roof.
• Flashing. This may not seem like an important part of your roof but the small rim around a drain or pipe is a prime place for water to enter your home or business. Inspect these on a regular basis for damage.
• Gutters. Water can do costly damage to your roof when it pools in one location. Gutters are an excellent way to help water filter off your roof and into the yard. When they are backed up or clogged they can actually cause water to sit in one place leading to potentially costly damage.
  

How do I pick the right roof for my project?

Truth is, you may have to replace a roof at some point particularly if your is older than 20 years. The experts at 1-800-Roofcare are ready to help you sort through the mountain of roofing materials that are available to find the perfect choice for your personality, budget, and project. Here are some facts about roofing materials:

• Wood roofing. A natural material that lasts about 20 years. Wood roofs need a good deal of maintenance and therefore aren’t as popular as they used to be. However they are more friendly to the environment than asphalt and perfect for smaller projects.
• Tiles. The classiest of all the materials. Tile roofing can last 20 to 40 years and adds pizazz and curb appeal to your project. They are a little more costly than some projects but since they add property value, they are worth the investment.
• Asphalt shingles. This material only lasts 10 to 30 years. But since they are inexpensive and widely available, they are the most popular choice on the market. They come in a variety of textures and colors making them a good choice for most projects.
• Metal roofing. While they last about 30 years, metal roofs are moderately expensive. Today’s metal is no longer plagued by the noise and rust issues of the metal of the past. They are chic and attractive making them a good choice for many projects. 
• Slate roofing. Lasting upward of 50 to 100 years, slate it the top rated roofing material. However, thanks largely to its cost, it is not a very practical choice for most consumers.
