3 Common Myths Surrounding Wind Roof Damage, Busted - Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc

Rainfall, hailstorms and blistering sunlight can all cause damage to your roofing system. But if there’s one thing you should be especially wary of, it’s high winds. When overlooked, wind damage gradually weakens your roofing system, leaving your home more susceptible to water infiltration. But before you can deal with wind roof damage, you have to learn more about it, and this means busting the truth from the common myths surrounding it. The trusted leaking roof repair company in the area, Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc. debunks some misconceptions about wind roof damage.

Wind Roof Damage

Wind damage is the sole reason for poor shingle adhesion. Not exactly. While high winds do result in poor adhesion in shingles, the actual reason for it may be something else. When the asphalt shingles aren’t installed correctly, they will eventually pull away from the roof. The same goes for frequent temperature shifts–these allow the roofing material to expand and contract until it’s no longer firmly attached to the system.

Wind roof damage is tricky to spot. This may be true at first glance. Once you know what telltale signs to watch out for, however, spotting wind damage on your roofing system becomes simple. For one thing, asphalt shingles that have been loosened by high winds would appear lifted instead of flat. You may also notice a few creases and folds in the roofing material if you happen to look closely. That said, you’ll still want a comprehensive assessment from a reliable roofing company. For this reason, make sure to promptly schedule a thorough inspection with Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc. following a major windstorm.

Wind roof damage is unavoidable. Wrong–there are a couple of ways to prevent high winds from causing excess damage to your roofing system. One way is to hire an experienced and certified roofer like Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc. for your roof installation. Another is to be proactive about roof inspection and maintenance–it pays to have your system checked regularly, especially when the stormy season is close. Investing in wind-resistant asphalt shingles, like the ones we offer, can also help. Our GAF® shingles come with Advanced Protection® Technology to better withstand high winds and prevent blow-offs. Give us a call and we’ll discuss their many benefits with you.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
