Why Contact the Expert Roofing Contractors at AM Roofing Systems?
Ohio is known for its severe weather, and the most destructive times of the year are Spring and Summer, when catastrophic storms commonly occur. This is when wind and hail can wreak havoc on the roofs, but when autumn comes around, Mother Nature also introduces tornadoes. The roof safeguards both possessions and occupants, so homeowners should keep it in top condition. They can do this by contacting us at AM Roofing Systems so that we can inspect for the following issues:
Wind Damage
Wind is a weather element that can damage a roof, but homeowners often do not recognize the signs of this damage. In Ohio, the winds are known to blow as quickly as 60 miles per hour during a storm, and this can weaken the integrity of a roof. If wind does not tear the shingles off completely, it can loosen them or cause them to break. The shingles can even begin to curl or peel, and all this damage can worsen over time. Homeowners must contact us at AM Roofing Systems for an inspection so that we can make repairs or replacements before the most expensive work is needed.
Cold Temperatures
In Ohio, we experience cold temperatures, and this places the roof in a vulnerable position. The cold and harsh weather works together with warmer temperatures during the summer to wear the roof down faster. If this is what is happening, we can inspect and then replace damaged shingles.
Hail Damage
Hail is a common occurrence in Ohio, and it can also damage the roof. Like wind damage, hail damage is not easy for homeowners to detect, so homeowners need professionals to perform an inspection after a hailstorm. Hail only needs to be the size of a quarter to dent or puncture the shingles. These dents may be too small for the homeowner to see, but they can reduce the lifespan of a roof if homeowners do not call us at AM Roofing Systems for inspection and repair.
Ice Dams
Ice dams are created when ice builds up on the lower portion of the roof. As the snow on top melts and runs down the roof, re-freezes when it reaches the colder region at the bottom. This creates a “dam” that prevents more melting snow from running down the roof toward the ground. This occurs when the roof is leaking heated air that escapes and causes the snow on top to melt. People often blame their gutters for this melting, but it is the heat from the attic.
Wear and Tear
Homeowners also need to be concerned about normal wear and tears. Asphalt roofs can last as long as 25 years, but if a roof is near the end of its lifespan, it is time to call us at AM Roofing Systems for a checkup. If it is time to replace the roof, we can install several types. This includes rib panel metal roofs, standing seam metal roofs, metal shingles and asphalt shingles.
