How to choose the best roofing company?

Bryan Wiest — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 20:46:13 +0000

From time to time we all experience home emergencies. Whether this is coming home to find that your washing machine has leaked or realising the taps have been left running in the bathroom, the end result is a large cleanup operation and a frantic search for professional help.

One area of your home which requires special and very professional attention is your roof. If you find out that your loft has been subject to leaks or that tiles are missing after a storm, finding reliable roofing contractors is an extremely important task that must be done quickly, but very carefully.

But just how do you choose the best roofing specialist out of all those available in your local area?

Commitment to Safety
The main reason you should never go up onto your own roof is because it is not safe. This is why professional roofing experts exist in the first place – they should be highly professional and know how to tackle roof repairs safely. However, it is a sad fact of life that these days not everyone is who they claim to be, which is why you must only put your trust in a local roof repair company that enjoys a reputation in the area for always doing things by the book and which is dedicated to being health and safety compliant.

Take a look at the roofing contractor’s website and see what accreditations they have. These prove they can be trusted and have passed tests to prove their skills and dedication to safety.

Ideally the roof repair specialists should clearly explain their skills and ability to perform roof repairs. If you have any doubts about the company’s ability to perform safe roofing jobs, look elsewhere.

Roofing Expertise
There is a lot more to roofing than just being able to climb a ladder and replace a few tiles. Qualified roofers will be able to fix existing issues, but they will also be skilled in spotting potential problems. A cracked tile might look like the cause of a leak, but what if there is an underlying reason for the problem? What if there is already water damage to the roof? How long would it remain safe and sturdy? Only a roofing expert will be able to identify and fix current and future problems all in one go.

Your roof is one of the most expensive parts of your property. Any damage to it could mean a hefty bill. The best way to reduce the chances of further damage is to use a reliable, professional and highly skilled roofing contractor. Get a few quotes and assess each company individually. Once you know what to look for, the best roofing specialist will be easy to identify.

Austin 360 Roofing & Lakeway Resort

Crane showed up first thing in the morning to assist with the removal of 5000 square feet of metal. Our crew of 8 was able to get all metal removed off the building by Noon. New metal, decking and ISO were delivered by 1:00 PM and loaded on the roof. Lakeway Resort and Spa offers guests world-class service and amenities on the shores of Lake Travis. It was extremely important that we worked efficient as we didn’t want to disturb normal business operations. Because we were able to remove all metal and load all material in one day the process was virtually painless for the customer. It was a great day and the Austin 360 Roofing team did a great job coordinating the entire process.

Wind Damage in Lakeway

Bryan Wiest — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 00:56:00 +0000

Strong winds can cause major damage to roofs and unfortunately Lakeway Spa & Resort was hit very hard. A 5000 Square foot section of their roof was completely blown off. They immediately called Austin 360 Roofing to inspect the damage. After the inspection and roof replacement proposal we signed a contract to immediately begin working on securing and replacing their roof. It’s a great win for Austin 360 Roofing LLC as we have been working with Lakeway Spa & Resort for many months on other roofing issues.

The National Weather Service reported a wind gust of 50 mph in Fredericksburg and 70 mph in Pflugerville. By 10 a.m., people were beginning to see colder-than-expected temperatures in Pflugerville; one viewer saw the rain beginning to freeze on surfaces and saw the water in a dog dish partially frozen.

Why does my roof leak?

Bryan Wiest — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 02:15:00 +0000

A common question for any roofing contractor from commercial property managers or homeowners is “why is my roof leaking”? Of course this question can’t be answered until the roof is fully inspected by a professional. Most just assume there is an issue with the shingles when in reality the leak can be traced to poor workmanship and almost always a flashing issue. Flashings are transitional roofing materials that connect the asphalt shingles to something that’s poking through a roof or immediately adjacent to a roof. For example, you’ll discover flashings at chimneys, plumbing vent pipes, ventilation fans, dormers, roof vents, valleys, etc.

Most roofing contractors will perform a free inspection. Just make sure they are from a reputable company and the inspector has years of experience.
