In New Haven, Connecticut, Your Roofing Contractor Should Be 1-800-Roofcare!

With the weather extremes that we experience in New Haven and all along the Connecticut coastline, we need to have a dependable roofing company that can handle all maintenance and repair issues cost-effectively.  Falling branches land on our roofs cracking and gouging the materials. Leaves and debris gather in hidden corners, holding in moisture that disintegrates our roofing systems. With the elements consistently ravaging the roofs of our homes, New Haven’s 1-800-Roofcare will work with you to maintain and preserve your roof, keeping your residence safe and dry

How can I keep my roof from developing leaks?

• Be observant - To prevent those surprise leaks from occurring it is important to be observant as to what is changing in your roof’s appearance. Are there shingles that are looking worn or curling on the corners? Are there wood shakes that are no longer in place? Is there a piece of metal flashing that is now twisted? From the ground, a once a year full visual inspection of your roof is important. Just get a pair of binoculars and scan your roof every spring to check for damages, worn spots, or anything that looks out of the ordinary.
• Depend on a professional – Once you have spotted an area of your roof that causes concern, contact a professional roofing company like 1-800-Roofcare to take a closer look. These trained professionals will come and thoroughly examine your home’s roof. 1-800-Roofcare will do this inspection for free, and then provide you with an estimate to repair any damage that they might find.
• Scheduled maintenance – Like anything that is subject to the weather, scheduled maintenance is important. To have 1-800-Roofcare to send a roofer once or twice a year is important to extend the life of your roof. By removing debris, clearing gutters, and making small repairs, our maintenance programs could provide you years of additional service from your existing roof.

What if the roof of my home leaks already? What are my options?

What effect will leaks have on my home?

If you allow these leaks to go unattended, there will be some rather serious consequences for your home.

• Mold – Whenever there is constant moisture in a home, you have the risk of mold finding a right environment to grow and flourish. Roof leaks provide one of these opportunities. By eliminating the leak, you eliminate the possibility of mold.
• Wood Rot – This damage is not caused by the water entering your home and soaking a beam or a rafter continuously. It caused by the moisture creating an environment suitable for a fungus to grow in the wood, depriving the wood of its strength and stability. By removing the opportunity for wood to be wet, you are eliminating the opportunity for the fungus to grow and thrive.
• Interior Damages – It seems that no matter what you do, you can never get those pesky water stains from your ceilings or walls. If your roof leaks go unattended, these spots will darken and spread. Eventually, a portion of your ceiling could collapse if the leak is severe enough.
