ROOFING

There are many things we look at, but the main one is the age of the roof. If your home’s roof is 20 years or older, it will probably need to be replaced. If you have been in a recent weather event, it is imperative you get your roof inspected for any damage. An annual inspection will ensure you will get the most life out of your roof.

Our 25-point inspection will clearly identify all the issues, big and small, that you may have to consider to determine whether you need a simple repair or maintenance issue, or for a complete replacement of your roof. The NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) recommends a homeowner conducts a roof inspection twice a year on their roof.

We use an ice and water shield over the entire roof. This ice and water shield is made of polyethylene and rubberized asphalt. Ice and water shields prevent water that could slip under the shingles and can prevent water from damaging your interior ceilings and walls. MDR also uses metal flashings on the valleys of your roof as well.

Stains on roofs have a variety of causes. Often the unsightly streaks are algae growing on or even under your shingles. Prevention is important and our SuperHero trained exterior inspectors will be able to give you a diagnosis and offer solutions to avoid further damage. To stop the algae, we can mount zinc or copper strips near your roof’s ridge. Every time it rains, the water can wash over those strips releasing the ions from the metal and this will inhibit algae from continuing to grow. If you have this problem and it is time for a new roof, we can recommend algae-resistant shingles with warranties.

It sounds like the installation may have been incorrect. Shingles should only extend past the drip edge of the roof by about ½ to ¾ inch. We can diagnose this during inspection and repair this for you.

Yes you need to take all layers of shingles off before installing a new roofing system. We need to see what is under those layers to ensure a safe foundation for your new roof and you don’t need any additional weight. Removing them will also assure it looks better and cleaner, and will last longer. Many warranties will not cover more than one layer.

Mighty Dog Says: Depending on the size of your roof and the repairs we need to make under the roof, typically most roofs can be completed within 1-2 days.

Not necessarily; sometimes our crews can simply repair where it is leaking. The only way to know for sure is to have a complete Mighty 25 point inspection. Don't wait though! Additional damage and trouble from things like mold can add up quickly.

Snow guards are installed near the eaves to effectively hold ice and snow in place until it melts. Our MDR inspection consultation will give you the options you will need for your particular property.

Moss holds moisture against shingles, shortening their effective lifespan. It also catches debris—twigs, leaves, dirt—which makes the moisture problem worse. If you see shingles with surface cracks, small blisters, curled-up edges, or areas where the surface granules have worn off, you probably need new roofing. An easy way to get to get rid of the moss and prevent it from returning, install zinc or copper strips near the roof ridge, above the areas where moss tends to grow. Rain washing over the strips will leach out metal ions and send them down the roof, preventing new moss from taking hold. Ask your Mighty Dog representative to show you how we can help install this for you. Also, trim any overhanging tree branches as much as you can. Moss thrives in the shade trees provide and the debris they drop.

They are pretty to look at sometimes, but let's leave it for the Christmas tree. Icicles actually represent a problem known as ice dams, which form when snow melts and refreezes before it can leave your roof and gutters. The ice dam can then force water under the shingles causing leaks. Our MDR inspector will speak with you about this at your Inspection and give you options to avoid this problem.
