Therefore, if you own a home, you need to ensure your roof is properly cared for. Keep reading for some great roofing tips.</p><br/><p>While damaged shingles are sometimes the cause of leaks, it is also a good idea to check with your roof’s foundation as well. Dry rot in siding can lead to leaks. It is important to examine every potential water entry point, like rotting wood, so that you are really resolving all the problem areas.</p><br/><p>Never neglect safety precautions when working on your roof. You can be seriously injured by attempting to fix your roof under severe weather conditions. Use a bucket to catch the water until you can fix the problem.</p><br/><p>When a contractor is on his way, cut the grass. This way, you can easily locate any nails that have fallen off during the work process. If he has a magnetic tool for finding nails, it will work best with the short grass.</p><br/><p>Before signing a contract with a roofing contractor, there are many questions you need to ask him. If you are having shingle work done, ask the number of nails they typically use for each shingle. Generally, three nails are not enough. Ask them about the procedures that they will be using. If not, then find a better contractor option.</p><br/><p>When you’re trying to hire someone to do roofing for you, do some research first. Never solely base your choice off of who is cheapest or who is the closest. You should be doing solid research and reading reviews about contractors in your area. Check online, ask for references from loved ones and contact the Better Business Bureau.</p><br/><p>A responsible homeowner will make sure that his or her roof is in excellent condition. A lot of repair and maintenance jobs can wait, but not roof problems. Apply the tips you just read and learn more about roofing to make sure you take good care of your home.</p><br/> <br/><a href="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/fix-your-roof-by-checking-out-these-tips/">Fix Your Roof By Checking Out These Tips</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04825022858459108604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011867732175949902.post-34906625500778417122017-10-01T08:54:00.000-07:002017-10-01T01:54:29.510-07:00Get Your Roof Repaired With These Ideas<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-614" src="http://tortoiseroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Tortoise-Roofing-Commercial-Roofer-1024x685.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="428" srcset="http://tortoiseroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Tortoise-Roofing-Commercial-Roofer-1024x685.jpg 1024w, http://tortoiseroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Tortoise-Roofing-Commercial-Roofer-300x201.jpg 300w, http://tortoiseroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Tortoise-Roofing-Commercial-Roofer-768x514.jpg 768w, http://tortoiseroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Tortoise-Roofing-Commercial-Roofer-150x100.jpg 150w, http://tortoiseroofing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Tortoise-Roofing-Commercial-Roofer-400x268.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"/></p><br/><p>Though most roofs are meant to last for 10-15 years, some maintenance may be needed along the way.

The roof is an important part of your home, literally and figuratively. Therefore, you should do everything you can to protect it. Read the following advice to learn what you can do to keep your roof in proper shape.</p><br/><p>Safety should be a strong consideration with taking on a roofing project. Repairing a roof in bad weather is a recipe for disaster. Just do what you can with the leak, like collecting the water in a bucket, and look at the roof later when the weather is better.</p><br/><p>If you’re taking care of a leak, you need to make sure you fix it properly the first time around. So, you cannot stop inspecting once you find the initial issue. Be sure and inspect your entire roof to ensure that you don’t have a more widespread problem or additional leaks in other areas.</p><br/><p>Make sure that you’re secured in the right way anytime you’re doing work on your roof. It’s surprisingly difficult to maintain your footing, even if the roof is only slightly sloped. Sadly, countless people sustain injuries or worse as a result of falls.</p><br/><p>Your grass should be cut before you have someone come over and remove your roof. Shorter grass will make it easier to locate and pick up any nails that are removed from the roofing materials. Even better, a magnetized nail finder will work at its optimum in short grass.</p><br/><p>A great, dependable, trustworthy resource when looking to find a roofer is your friends and family. Inquire about the contractors they may have used and how the project proceeded as well as the general costs of such work. Ask as many questions as you can to get the best possible repair for your money.</p><br/><p>It is in your best interests to take good care of your roof. There are lots of maintenance jobs that can be deferred, but roofing isn’t one of them. By using the advice in this piece, you can avoid costly trouble later on.</p><br/> <br/><a href="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/essential-ideas-you-need-to-know-when-repairing-your-roof-2/">Essential Ideas You Need To Know When Repairing Your Roof</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04825022858459108604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011867732175949902.post-40741858119591326362017-05-17T04:16:00.000-07:002017-05-16T21:16:37.544-07:00Roofing Questions Answered In This Article<p><img class="aligncenter size-large" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NGXuMHmvYSU/WRvNxYDw4tI/AAAAAAAAAhc/F38QpT2vaI4vyfIDWU7El3EkmVLjwx4RACJoC/w506-h750/d3db92c2-81eb-492c-9884-3e4523850529" width="506" height="337"/></p><br/><p>Roof maintenance, and necessary repairs, are important issues for everyone who owns a home.

Keep checking until you are sure you have located all the problems. You might find several spots to repair after inspecting your whole roof.</p><br/><p>When hiring a contractor to work on your roof, do your homework. You shouldn’t hire the first or the cheapest one you find. Always research all options available to you instead. The Internet is a great resource, as are family members and friends.</p><br/><p>If you have gotten in touch with a roofer but he cannot come out for several days, you may need a temporary fix. You can nail heavy plastic to damaged areas.

This will make things much easier to find if dropped.

Make sure to call the references if you can too. Get their real opinions on the jobs that were done and the quality of the service. You should also make it a point to have a look at some of these homes yourself. Drive past them and examine the work carefully before choosing your roofer.</p><br/><p>As mentioned before, your roof plays a big role in keeping your family safe. Stay aware and make the most of the information here so that your family remains safe.

In addition to having to make repairs, you may be stressed by costs and outcomes. Keep reading to determine whether you should do your own roofing work or whether you need a professional.</p><br/><p>When repairing your roof, ensure you keep safety in mind. Trying to repair a leak while it’s raining or during a storm can seriously injure you, or worse! Until the rain stops, use a bucket to catch the water. Later, when the roof is dry, inspect the roof and make any repairs.</p><br/><p>Never work on your roof if the weather outside is rainy, snowy or icy. Wet roofs greatly increase the chances of accidents caused by slips and falls. Especially if you are all alone on a project, only do work on dry, sunny days.</p><br/><p>It is crucial that you make repairs right the first time. The first spot may not be all there is in need of repair. Look over all of your roof; there may be more problem areas than you first suspected.</p><br/><p>Before signing a contract with a roofing contractor, there are many questions you need to ask him. One important question to ask is the quantity of nails they will put in each shingle. Three nails usually will not get the job done. Ask them about the methods they use and analyze their answer.

Keep reading in order to discover how to make wise choices. The following paragraphs contain roofing information that you need to know, saving you valuable time and money.</p><br/><p>Check out your roof yearly. Roofs are commonly most damaged during winter months as well as spring time. With this in mind, you should monitor the state of your roof frequently during these times.</p><br/><p>Roof foundations may be the cause of your leaks so don’t only assume it is the shingles. Water could be seeping in from somewhere else, such as dry-rotted siding or gaps along windows or doors. Check everything over to ensure it is up to snuff.</p><br/><p>Once you’ve narrowed down your list of potential contractors, be sure to inquire about the provided warranties of each company. The warranty should last at least three years. The longer it lasts, the better. The warranty must cover defective supplies and shoddy workmanship. Make sure the contractor gives you a copy of it.</p><br/><p>Speak with your roofing company and find out what warranties they provide for their work. One company may offer you a better warranty than another. Also, make sure to get any warranties and estimates in writing, so you will have them in your possession. That way, there cannot be any disagreement about the terms later on.</p><br/><p>If you’re worried about a leaky roof, spray it with a garden hose. That helps you find the leak and stop it. It is a much cheaper alternative to hiring a professional.</p><br/><p>You should have a better idea of how you can maintain and fix your roof after going over this article. Use these tips as you deal with your roofing issues. It can be a nightmare to repair or replace your roof if you are not educated on the matter.</p><br/><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/roofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3/" data-a2a-title="Roofing Tips That Can Make Your Life Easier"><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_google_plus" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/google_plus?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Google+" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_pinterest" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Pinterest" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_stumbleupon" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/stumbleupon?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="StumbleUpon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_delicious" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/delicious?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Delicious" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_reddit" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_tumblr" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Tumblr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_blogger_post" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger_post?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Blogger Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Make%20Your%20Life%20Easier" title="Email" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div> <br/><a href="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/roofing-tips-that-can-make-your-life-easier-3/">Roofing Tips That Can Make Your Life Easier</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04825022858459108604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011867732175949902.post-10120837791036873142016-09-14T15:25:00.000-07:002016-09-14T08:25:05.516-07:00What You Need To Know About Roofing Your Home<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uuL0o7WFZbM/V9lrl176EUI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/dJon6phJHiU7gfdb_VT2lSzjaMa0qNVMACL0B/w506-h750/32ed7a6f-878c-4ef0-ba3f-d1bf20411721" width="506" height="336"/></p><br/><p>Most people don’t know very much about roofing. However, if you own a home, you should learn all about it quickly. Damage to your roof can cause many problems for your entire home. This article will get you started with the basics of home roofing and roofing repairs.</p><br/><p>Look over your roof carefully at least once a year. Roofs normally suffer from significant damage during the months in winter and spring. So, the best time of year to check for damage is after the spring season.</p><br/><p>When you climb atop your own roof, make sure to wear rubber soles. Even if the weather is warm and dry, such shoes are necessary for grip. Roof repairs will typically place you in harms way several times during the duration of their repairs, so be careful and think twice.</p><br/><p>Make sure the roofing contractor you hire is trained and skilled. You might consider asking family and friends for personal recommendations. That is critical, as you need to have a good job done that doesn’t have to be repaired expensively later.</p><br/><p>After narrowing down your list of roofers, determine which one offers the best warranty. You’re seeking out a warranty that will last you for at least 3 to 5 years. The longer it lasts, the better it is. You should have defective supplies covered and poor workmanship, too. Don’t forget to get copies of any warranty that you are offered.</p><br/><p>Insurance is something you need to have when it comes to roof work. If you hire an uninsured roofer who damages your property, it’s going to cost you. Don’t just speak with the person doing the job to see if they have the insurance, get documentation that they do and go over it carefully.</p><br/><p>As was mentioned in the beginning of this article, you probably didn’t know too much about roofing. Thankfully, now you know a ton about the process. Keep in mind that a roof which is maintained properly will offer security and protection for your family and belongings.</p><br/><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list a2a_target" id="wpa2a_1"><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_google_plus" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/google_plus?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Google+" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_pinterest" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Pinterest" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_stumbleupon" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/stumbleupon?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="StumbleUpon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_delicious" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/delicious?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Delicious" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_reddit" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_tumblr" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Tumblr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_blogger_post" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger_post?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Blogger Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Fwhat-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2%2F&linkname=What%20You%20Need%20To%20Know%20About%20Roofing%20Your%20Home" title="Email" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div> <br/><a href="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/what-you-need-to-know-about-roofing-your-home-2/">What You Need To Know About Roofing Your Home</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04825022858459108604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011867732175949902.post-81661279792884154662016-08-11T04:37:00.000-07:002016-08-10T21:37:32.081-07:00Need Assistance In Roof Repair?

When do your gutters need to be cleaned? When is it time to bring in the pros? Fortunately, this piece has some great roofing tips all in a single spot. Continue reading to learn more.</p><br/><p>If your shingles are looking shabby, do not hesitate to replace them. Although you may believe that it is okay to procrastinate on this for a little while, doing so can cause worse damage in the future. By immediately replacing your shingles, you can save a lot of money and problems in the future. Taking proper care of your roof will help it remain durable over time.</p><br/><p>While leaks sometimes can be caused by shingles that are faulty, be sure you look at your roof’s foundation too. If your home is showing signs of dry rot, your house is vulnerable to water intrusion. Look at every entry point, even rotten wood, to see if the problem can be solved for good.</p><br/><p>Safety should be your number one priority when working on your roof. If it is raining outside and you attempt to make roof repairs, you may end up getting injured or worse. Put a bucket beneath the problem area, and then inspect the roof to determine the extent of necessary repairs.</p><br/><p>Do not try to repair a roof if it’s raining, snowing or icy outside. When the roof is wet or slippery, you could end up falling, causing major injury and even death.

Use These Tips For Caring For Your Roof Instead!<p> </p><br/><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.ow.ly/photos/normal/ldSn0.jpg" width="618" height="412"/></p><br/><p>A good roof is necessary to keep your home and family dry. Therefore, you must take the time to care for it. Homeowners may ignore their roof condition, which causes problems. Use the following tips to take good care of your roof.</p><br/><p>If you’re going to have to get onto the roof to do some repairs, put on rubber boots. Even on sunny and dry days, rubber boots are still a necessity so that you have a good grip. Be very careful when making repairs on your roof since you could easily lose your balance and injure yourself.</p><br/><p>If you intend to complete work on your roof, you must do so securely. This is very important because many people are hurt or killed every year as a result of a fall from a roof.</p><br/><p>Mow the lawn prior to the removal of your old roof. This will make things much easier to find if dropped. If your roofer has a magnetic nail locator, short grass will make things much easier.</p><br/><p>When hiring a contractor to work on your roof, do your homework. It’s important that you don’t simply hire the one with the lowest bid. Spend some time looking up local roofers. You may utilize online resources or seek recommendations from those you know and trust.</p><br/><p>If the contractor does not require you to pay up front in full, do not do it. A 25% deposit is typical, but you shouldn’t pay anything over that until the work is completed. You don’t want them to do a poor job or do less work than expected.</p><br/><p>As mentioned earlier, your roof is very important in protecting your home and everyone living in it. This article will cover a few essential roofing tips to help you maintain your roof and protect your home and family. The results make up for the extra work.</p><br/><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list a2a_target" id="wpa2a_1"><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_facebook" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_twitter" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/google_plus?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/google_plus?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_google_plus" title="Google+" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_pinterest" title="Pinterest" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/stumbleupon?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/stumbleupon?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_stumbleupon" title="StumbleUpon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/delicious?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/delicious?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_delicious" title="Delicious" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_reddit" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_tumblr" title="Tumblr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger_post?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger_post?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_blogger_post" title="Blogger Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_linkedin" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_email" title="Email" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.addtoany.com/share" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "https://www.addtoany.com/share", ""]);" class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save"></a><br/></div></div> <br/><a href="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/dont-hire-an-expensive-contractor-use-these-tips-for-caring-for-your-roof-instead/">Don"t Hire An Expensive Contractor!

There are many things you must know, but there aren’t many places to find the information. This article was created to teach you all about the topic. Here you will learn important roofing advice.</p><br/><p>Check out your roof thoroughly at least one time every year. Roof damage is most likely to occur during winter and spring. Therefore, you need to carefully observe your roof during these seasons.</p><br/><p>Get contractor referrals from loved ones. Ask them about their experience with roofers, whether or not they were satisfied with the quality of service and the price of the job. Ask how well contractors cleaned when they finished the job and if they offer warranties for future repairs.</p><br/><p>It’s best to use a roofing contractor who has extensive experience in the industry. Look into who knows them – even ask your family and friends for their opinions. Hiring a contractor who is not properly licensed and experienced could cost you a lot.</p><br/><p>When looking for damage on your roof, don’t start by taking a walk around the roof. If you are having trouble with your roof, it is safest to hire someone that can look at it for you. You should not take the risk of having the roof cave in with you on top of it.</p><br/><p>Once you’ve narrowed down your list of potential contractors, be sure to inquire about the provided warranties of each company. You want at least a 3-5 year warranty. It should cover both defective supplies as well as poor workmanship, plus they should give you copies of all manufacturer warranties as well.</p><br/><p>There may be a great deal to learn on the topic of roofing, but don’t be intimidated! What you have learned here will give you help in a variety of situations. Keep reading more to learn all you can.

Are all your attempts to patch the roof failing? If you’re in need of help, you’ve found the right information. Keep reading to learn tips and get advice about repairing and maintaining your roof.</p><br/><p>Remember: safety first. Don’t try to fix a leaking roof, for instance, while it is still storming outside. This is very dangerous. Use a bucket to catch the leak, and then check out what is needed for repair when the weather changes.</p><br/><p>Make sure to wear rubber boots if you ever need to get on your roof. This is necessary to ensure that you have good footing, even in dry conditions. Do not put yourself in dangerous positions when on the roof.</p><br/><p>If you’re having a contractor remove your roof, mow your lawn first. This will make things much easier to find if dropped. Some contractors use a magnetic device to find stray nails. These devices are most effective when used on shorter grass.</p><br/><p>There are many questions you’ll need to ask a prospective contractor before signing a contract. One question is the amount of nails that need to be inserted into every shingle. Three isn’t enough. Test them to get the right answers. If they don’t answer things right, move on.</p><br/><p>If you want a new roof that is environmentally sound, consider a living roof. A living roof provides you with planting grounds!

That makes it very important to maintain your roof as well as possible. Often times, people don’t even think about their roof until something bad has happened. Maintain your roof well with these tips.</p><br/><p>Do not put off replacing your shingles. You may want to avoid repairs, but waiting will only make things worse. Taking care of problems with the shingles immediately will help you to save more money and a lot of problems down the road. Your roof will last longer if it is maintained well.</p><br/><p>In order to ensure that your roof stays in good condition, make sure that you trim the trees in the surrounding areas. This will prevent any branches from scuffing the surface of your roof which could eventually lead to more serious problems. This also helps prevent any fungus or mold grow on your roof.</p><br/><p>If you live in a hot and dry climate, it is best to roof your house with a light color like light grey or white. Lighter colors end up reflecting the suns rays. Darker colors like black can absorb the suns rays, resulting in your house being really hot.</p><br/><p>Rubber soled shoes are a must when you get up on your roof. Wear your boots even if the weather is clear. It can be physically challenging to perform roof repairs.</p><br/><p>Have a leak in your roof? Check out your gutters. The gutters of your home can easily become clogged, and can be a major cause of leaks, especially if they have not been cleaned recently. If you see they are filled with debris, like leaves, be sure to clean it out.</p><br/><p>Taking care of your roof should be one of your priorities as a homeowner. Use these tips to keep your family and home safe all year long. You will not be sorry you did.</p><br/><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list a2a_target" id="wpa2a_1"><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_google_plus" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/google_plus?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Google+" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_pinterest" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Pinterest" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_stumbleupon" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/stumbleupon?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="StumbleUpon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_delicious" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/delicious?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Delicious" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_reddit" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_tumblr" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Tumblr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_blogger_post" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger_post?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Blogger Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftortoiseroofing.com%2Froofing%2Froofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money%2F&linkname=Roofing%20Tips%20That%20Can%20Save%20You%20Money" title="Email" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div> <br/><a href="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/roofing-tips-that-can-save-you-money/">Roofing Tips That Can Save You Money</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04825022858459108604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6011867732175949902.post-54500306145983661522016-06-13T04:31:00.000-07:002016-06-12T21:32:00.145-07:00Looking For A New Roof? Find Fabulous Tips Here<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.ow.ly/photos/normal/k4xMS.jpg" width="618" height="412"/></p><br/><p>Finding a contractor is practically as stressful as buying a house. A beautiful home isn’t worth a dime if it doesn’t have a good roof, and you won’t be able to get a good roof without a good contractor. Here are some qualities you should look for in a great contractor. By arming yourself with excellent knowledge, you can ensure you are properly caring for your roof.</p><br/><p>You want to make sure that you hire a good contractor to take care of your roofing job. Looking on the Internet for reviews can help you to find the right fit for your roofing job. Internet reviews tend to be more frank and honest, since they are anonymous.</p><br/><p>While it may sound backwards, one of the best times to find a leak is when it’s completely dry out. Keep an eye out for things like mold in corners, unusually dark ceiling tiles, and damp insulation. You can use these things to guide you to the spot the leak is coming from.</p><br/><p>If you live in a hot and dry climate, it is best to roof your house with a light color like light grey or white. Lighter colors end up reflecting the suns rays. Darker colors like black can absorb the suns rays, resulting in your house being really hot.</p><br/><p>When looking into different types of roofing material, you must take into account various factors. For example, the price range you are placing your budget in will ultimately decide what you are able to afford. A slate roof will be very expensive, however, it will last longer than your lifetime.</p><br/><p>The roof is the true defense against weather, sun and all other damaging elements. Over time, however, exposure to weather will damage your roof necessitating repairs. This article will help you choose the right contractor to make these repairs when that time finally comes.</p><br/><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list a2a_target" id="wpa2a_1"><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_facebook" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_twitter" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/google_plus?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/google_plus?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_google_plus" title="Google+" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_pinterest" title="Pinterest" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/stumbleupon?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/stumbleupon?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_stumbleupon" title="StumbleUpon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/delicious?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/delicious?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_delicious" title="Delicious" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_reddit" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_tumblr" title="Tumblr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger_post?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger_post?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_blogger_post" title="Blogger Post" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_linkedin" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=&linkname=" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "http://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=&linkname=", ""]);" class="a2a_button_email" title="Email" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.addtoany.com/share" onclick="_gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "outbound-article", "https://www.addtoany.com/share", ""]);" class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save"></a><br/></div></div> <br/><a href="http://tortoiseroofing.com/roofing/looking-for-a-new-roof-find-fabulous-tips-here/">Looking For A New Roof?
