Roofing Ventilation

Ventilating your roof reduces the heat in your attic during the summer and helps remove moisture in the winter. This will keep your roof functioning longer and as a bonus, it will make your heating and cooling systems more efficient. Roof vents allow the hot air to escape from the attic, and it will typically be replaced with cooler air from intake vents. The best location for the intake is the soffit because the coolest air is going to be

Summer Storms

Sun and Rain Takes a Toll — Get Your Roof Inspected!

There are commonly known facts about your home, but here is a little known fact that most homeowners are totally unaware of, which could save you thousands: “If your roof is more than 20 years old, there’s a good chance that it’s due for replacement. But younger roofs fail too, so it is a good idea to inspect a roof at least once a year.” ~ Tom Silva, This Old House Although this little-known fact seems so very simple, few

Ten Things Every Homeowner Should Know

1. Water Shut-Off Valve Location: Know the location of the water shut-off for the whole house. Most sinks and toilets have a shut-off valve under the fixture, but knowing how to turn off the flow throughout the home is imperative if needed in an emergency. If a leak pops up, shutting off the flow will limit the amount of damage, repair costs and headaches. 2. Gas Shut-off Valve Location: Same issue as the water valve but with greater emphasis toward

Flashing Tips

Flashing is usually aluminum or galvanized steel that’s used over joints in a roof and wall construction to prevent water seeping in and causing damage. Depending on the style of your home’s roof, you probably have it in the valleys, around the chimney and pipes, and around any dormer windows or skylights. Most damage shows up either in flashing that’s deteriorating due to weathering and oxidizing, or in flashing that has come loose. If your flashing needs repairs, consider giving

Buyer Beware

When hiring a service contractor to do work in your home, it is so important that you hire a quality and reliable company. The Better Business Bureau issued a warning in the St. Louis area for a roofing contractor who pleaded guilty in Arizona to several charges, and on that very same day he established a business here in Missouri. There are numerous complaints about his work here and several homeowners have found themselves in a bind with payments made

Roof Inspections

It’s easy to take your roof for granted. When it rains, you know that you’re not going to get wet. When the hot summer sun shines, you know that you will stay shaded and comfortable. When the wind blows, you don’t have to worry about a chill running through your body. However, when a roofing problem appears, it can drastically interrupt your life! In some cases, roofing problems can lead to big messes. For example, if you leave town for

Take Care of Your Skin!

Each year, more and more people are diagnosed with skin cancer. It is more important than ever, during the upcoming long and hot summer days, that you take care of yourself… including your skin! And even though summer is technically still two months away, there is no denying that even now as the weather is warming up and days are getting longer, we are outside in sun quite often. Here are some helpful tips to consider while sitting outside watching

Find The Right Roofing Contractor

Don’t Be the Homeowner on TV or in the Newspaper Telling about How You Were Taken Advantage of!! It’s a shame what happens to some good, hardworking people. I just read another report of a heating and cooling contractor (in another community) taking advantage of their customers. The work they were providing was shoddy, and when customers complained, the contractor didn’t return calls or wasn’t interested in remedying the problem. No, they kept their customers’ hard-earned money and didn’t give
