We are always asked this question: "Will my roof leak if I have some shingles that have blown off?"

The short answer is yes, although the leak or water may spend some time in the attic before it shows up on your bedroom ceiling.

GETTING A NEW ROOF? HAVE IT INSPECTED BEFORE YOU PAY FOR IT! Most new roofs look good from the ground. We inspect the roof on the roof and before the contractor leaves town. Our job is to ensure the contract you and the contractor signed has been fulfilled, work done to code and any areas of concern be brought to your attention with digital pictures supplied to you. Why not bring an expert in to make sure the job was done right, that you got what you paid for and everything is ok? This is a paid service but could save you money and headaches in the long run.

Things To Know About your Roof.

1. Have your roof checked out periodically by a qualified experienced roofing contractor. Maintenance of your home saves you money in the long run.
2. A lot of newer homes were never inspected by anyone when they were built. There’s not a dab of caulking on any nails at the vents, flashings, pipes etc.
3. The builder normally puts on the cheapest shingles available. Some of the asphalt ’20 year shingles’ installed a while ago are lasting approximately 10-13 years.
4. Most of the shingles these days ( 2012) have a fibreglass base. The minimum you can get is a ’25 year shingle’ which is very thin. I recommend at least a ’30 year shingle.
5. Repair your roof with a quality caulking (not silicone) and please stay away from using tar. Tar is temporary at best, makes a mess and makes trouble shooting more difficult.
6. If the roofers putting on your new roof are using roofing guns to install the thin (25 year fibreglass) shingles don’t be surprised if you see shingles lifting all over or nail heads ripping through the shingles. Unless the nails are put in perfectly flush the thin shingles won’t lay flat.
7. If the roof vent close to your bathroom stack (small black pipe) looks identical to the vents on the top of your roof...then it’s the wrong vent. A roof vent was cheaper to buy than a bathroom vent.
8. The wood (sheathing) underneath your shingles (newer homes) is 3/8” thick. I agree with Mike Holmes on this one...it’s a bit of a joke. Plywood that is ½’’ thick is so much better.
9. Putting an under layer on the roof deck (sheathing) before putting on the shingles is a good idea.
10. Not all ‘ice and water shields’ are equal. The best I’ve found (and the only one I use for repairs) is Grace Ice and Water Shield.
