Is Your Staten Island Home in Need of Roof Repair?

How do I know if my home needs roof repair?

There are many signs that may indicate your roof needs repair. If you spot one of these signs, call 1-800-Roofcare.  We can assist you with any maintenance, repair or replacement task for your roof. Ideally, homeowners will notice external signs before their roof begins to leak, such as:

• Bleached or Discolored Roofing Materials
• Cracked Roofing Materials
• Missing or Loose Roofing Materials
• Misaligned Roofing Materials
• Gutters Clogged with Roofing Materials

Unfortunately, many of these exterior signs go unnoticed, and the roof deteriorates to the point where holes have formed. Because the roof covers the entire home, the impacts of roof holes can be found in every room of a house. Some of these impacts include:

• Leaks
• Wet Spots on the Floor and Furniture
• Discolored and Stained Walls
• Peeling Wallpaper
• Cracks in the Ceiling and Walls
• The Smell of Mildew
• Respiratory Reactions to Mold Spores
• Increased or Decreased Room Temperature
• Higher Heating and Cooling Bills

Why should I choose 1-800-Roofcare for my needs?

1-800-Roofcare is one of the leading names in the American roofing industry. We are an association of independently-operated roof care providers with members in Staten Island and across the country. Among the many reasons why our customers choose us over the competition include:

• Licensed and Insured Contractors. Many roof workers claim to be licensed and insured when they actually aren’t. Such disreputable individuals not only typically perform sub-standard repairs, much of their work is out-of-code and technically illegal. Without the proper insurance, the homeowner will have to pay for the full costs of remediation. 1-800-Roofcare is determined to protect our customers from these risks, which is why we make sure that all of our members possess the proper licensure and insurance to work on roofs in their area of operation, in this case Richmond County, New York.
• Wide Range of Service. 1-800-Roofcare wants to be the only number you ever need to call for your roofing needs. To that end, we offer the widest possible range of service. We install roofs, maintain and repair them throughout their lives, and then replace them when further repairs are no longer possible. Why should you have to find a different contractor every time a new roofing need comes up when you don’t have to?
• A National Name with Local Expertise. By operating through local affiliates, 1-800-Roofcare is able to provide our customers with the best of both worlds. We offer all of the security you get from choosing a big brand name with national standards with the convenience and local experience of a neighborhood contractor. Local expertise is especially important in the roofing industry, which is highly location specific. The environmental conditions of Staten Island with which a roof must cope are drastically different than those found elsewhere in the United States and should be handled by a contractor who has experience with them. Of even greater concern are the stringent building codes and other regulations found on Staten Island. Our Staten Island affiliates have years of experience dealing with some of the strictest codes in the country and can help you avoid legal liabilities and the inability to sell your property later.

Are there any special roof repair and maintenance concerns particular to Staten Island?

Although modern roofing materials are designed to withstand even the harshest elements, the forces of nature still take their toll. The winters in Staten Island can be particularly tough on roofs. Snow is made up of water that can seep into roofs while melting. If another freeze comes, that water expands as it turns into ice, expanding the roofing materials along with it. Over time, repeated expansions and contractions can permanently warp or crack shingles and tiles to the point where they need to be replaced. 1-800-Roofcare recommends that all homeowners have their roofs inspected twice a year by a professional contractor. Although these inspections can take place throughout the year, it is highly advisable in Staten Island that at least one inspection is done in the late fall or early winter to make sure that your roof can handle potential snow falls without springing leaks. Another common roofing concern in Staten Island is acid rain. Although pollution levels in the city are considerably lower than many other major metropolitan areas, acid rain still persists and eats away at roofs, hastening their deterioration.
