Santa Clara, CA Roof Repair and Maintenance

One shingle out of place or a single tear in the tar paper beneath can create a situation in your home where water can get through and cause serious damage. Those are the situations where emergency repairs may become necessary and they are usually due to neglect on the part of the building owner. If your home is more than ten years old and you haven't had your roof checked, you are doing your home a disservice. In some cases, a simple repair can save you thousands of dollars in damage costs. 

During the building booms of the 80's and 90's, many homes were thrown together with sub-par materials, particular in areas like siding and roofing. A builder can skimp on these areas much easier than he can on interior portions of the home such as foundations and support beams. If a poor quality shingle was used or a step or two was skipped in the building phase, you will have problems. Flashing is one area where this was fairly common. Is your roof leaking in the corners or edges? 

Proper drainage is something that needs to be taken into account when a roofer is installing the shingles or panels that make up the covering of your home. If he does his job correctly, there won't be a need for repairs for at least a decade. If he doesn't, you'll see the results the first time it rains or when the winds pick up. You may not think that it will happen if you have a fairly new home, but those are actually where the situation most often occurs. Homes built more than twenty years ago are more solid.
