Overcoming a Cracked Foam Roof

By Roofing Repair, CoolidgeNo Comments

In Coolidge, Arizona we did a pretty impressive roof repair, that made the customer very happy.  The challenge was overcoming a cracked foam roof, without replacing it entirely.  This is how aGAF Roofing Contractor - overcoming a cracked foam roof foam roof repair takes into consideration not only the roof, but also the customer’s wants and needs.

The Problem to Overcome With This Roof

This was a very unique roofing situation.  The customer had a shingle roof, which then had a foam roof applied on top of that.  In addition, a roof coating was applied as well.  Because of these layers, there was no damage to the underlaying of the roof’s structure.

The problem was that part of the foam roof had split off onto the side.  This was caused primarily due to the air conditioning unit continuously leaking water.  Along with this, and daily exposure to the outside elements, it destroyed the coating in a patch.  From there, the water made a pathway down the side of the roof.

When other roofing contractors looked at the situation, their only conclusion was to replace the entire roof.  An complete roof replacement was not the only option that Castile Roofing saw.

Castile Roofing’s Solution

Considering that the rest of the roof was in good shape, the customer was not ready to replace their entire roof prematurely.  After a careful assessment, we determined that there was an alternative solution.  Our conclusion not only protected their home once again, it was more what the customer wanted in the first place.

Our roofers were able to re-attach the section that had split off.  Then, using a mixture of polyester and super putty, they filled  and sealed the section, and every single crack the water had created.  After that, we applied  multiple layers of roof coating to ensure the roof was sealed.  Not only did ensure that the roof was fully protected, it also gave it a fantastic finish.  The best part is, this roof won’t need to be replaced for about 10 years.

Homeowners dread this, and business owners fear this: roof repair just isn’t something people are willing to concern themselves with. It’s costly to handle so most ignore it at first.

Roofing Tips

We at Castile Roofing always mention to contact us to handle all of the roofing services. But for this instance, we want to also offer roofing tips. Yes, Castile Roofing is offering Roofing Tips for customers as they work to keep their home’s roof throughout the year.

Check for Damaged Areas

This goes without saying, but making sure there are no damaged areas in the roof is important for a lot of reasons. First, tile that is broken causes leaks to seep into the home. Broken shingles have the same effect. This gets worse the longer it’s left alone. Also, depending on location, damaged sections can be hazardous as pieces of roofing material may fall onto a person. This will not only look bad on the homeowner, but will also give rise to potential lawsuits for negligence; and that is BEFORE the injured could slap fees for hospitalization and medical expenses, unless they are close friends/family. To prevent this, contact us for roofing repair; this is for both commercial or residential buildings.

Keep Debris and ‘Freeloaders’ Clear

While not always considered, but having a tree or critters that remain on the roof can also cause roofing issues to occur. First and foremost, as branches break from the tree, they clog the drainage channels of some roofs. Then there is the damage and burden of clearing the debris off the roof. Leave that to us! We can offer to clean your roof while doing any major repairs at no cost. Another problem is that of ‘freeloaders’ that occupy a roof. Most of the time they are squirrels or the occasional tree dwelling insects. Finally, there could be doves/birds resting on top of the roof as well. Unless that was what the homeowner intended, you’ll need to make sure they are remove from the roof to prevent damage. We also have cleaning services as well to make less stress for customers to deal with. Finally, we like to offer a third tip for our roofing tips posting.

Routine Certifications and Inspections

Now throughout the year, it’s important to have certified inspections to make sure you have a well-kept roof. Certifications and Inspections are our specialty if you need professional quality assurance.

Concluding the Roof Tips from Castile Roofing

While we conclude our roofing tips for now, Castile Roofing is willing to assist customers with all their roofing needs. If you own/lease a building, have roofing concerns, and need a solution fast (regardless of the location in the Valley of the Sun) then Castile Roofing is waiting for your call. Contact us today!

The Challenge of Tile Roofing Repair

By Roofing Repair, Casa Grande, Chandler, Glendale, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Summertime, Sun City/Sun City West, Tempe, Tile Roof, Valley CitiesNo Comments

The Challenge of Tile Roofing Repair

There are times when we handle tile roofing repair with the greatest of ease. Then there are times when handling such repair is time-consuming. Here’s an instance of the latter, and of the tasks needed to be done via photo presentation.

Surveying the Roof for Tile Roofing Repair

The first thing we have to do is survey the roof in question. This usually can be the longest part but also the most critical. In this instance, after surveying the roof, it was discovered that over 20 tiles were severely damaged and over 10 were moderately damaged. If left alone, water leaks would be the least of their worries. As you can see from some of the photos, some of the tiles has some basic sealant to work as a temporary measure, but the damage overall was too extensive.

The New Installation of Replacement Tile

Customers know that having a lot of tile to repair takes time. What most customers forget to realize is that tiles can be heavy to carry. These tiles averaged 20 lbs per tile. For our roofer, the max he could carry was up to three. The job required 30 replacements; during the start of our summertime. Needless to say, our stalwart roofer got his workout for the entire day. Still, to ensure Roofing Done Right, it was a workout our roofer looked forward to. There’s also the challenge of replacing the damaged tiles with the new tiles for this roof. To save time from going into specifics, there is much labor to be handled.

What’s the Bottom-line From All of This?

Buckskin Roofing Maintenance made by Castile Roofing

Castile Roofing is continuing to be at the forefront of helping our customers with their roofing need. One such example took place in the neighborhood of Buckskin. We like to showcase this with some photos of the job we completed a few weeks ago.

Buckskin Roof Maintenance - Castile Roofing Buckskin Roof Maintenance - Castile Roofing

Here we see the installation of new roofing tile to replace the damaged tile that was there beforehand. As you notice, the coloration is lighter than the surrounding tile. While we make every effort to go EXACTLY as colored, there are times we have to let nature do the proper tanning for us. The primary goal is to get your home’s roof back to proper functioning capability.

Here is another example to our commitment to our customers with these photos:

Sometimes, we may be asked to provide additional work; the kind that is outside the scope of the original invoice. In this instance, it was to install bird-deterrent spikes. Under normal circumstances, we would have to reschedule for a second attempt, charge for items, complete the work, etc. This is also handled on a case-by-case basis; not all cases are like this. Even so, we took the time to install these bird-deterrent spikes provided by the customer for an additional charge. Yes, we must be paid for services rendered. We cannot change that aspect of our business.

Roofing Done Right in Peoria – A Day in the Life of a Castile Roofer

By Roofing, Roofing Maintenance, Roofing Repair

Work in Peoria – How it Began

At Castile Roofing, we know a roofer’s work is truly never done. Merely completed until the next challenge comes their way. Such was the case for one of our roofers when he received the call for a truss coming apart as well as leaking in a home in Peoria. This home was also a proud owner of solar panels; hoping to save even more money on energy costs while taking full advantage of the largest power source. That said, it does put a burden on the roof itself, as seen on the truss here:

Peoria Maintenance and Repair - Castile Roofing - Roofing Done Right Peoria Maintenance and Repair - Castile Roofing - Roofing Done Right - The Start of the Repair Process

Fortunately, we were able to get the repairs necessary for this customer.

The Work That Was Done

First and foremost, we start with the first and major concern, the truss (the silver metal thing holding the support beams onto the roof itself). Our roofer went ahead and replaced the truss itself, as shown here:

Peoria - Roofing Repair Done Right - Left Side Peoria - Roofing Repair Done Right - Right Side

With the truss replaced, the beam is better reinforced. This will help in dealing with the weight of the solar panels on top of the roof. This is important as the LAST thing our customer wants to deal with is a solar panel breaking through the ceiling creating an improptu “sun roof.”

Going Topside at our Customer’s Peoria Home

Speaking of, that’s where we go to next. Here the focus was handling the potential areas that would leak during the summertime. The following showcases areas of repair handled by our sturdy roofer:

Peoria - Roofing Maintenance and Repair Done Right Peoria - Castile Roofing Done Right with Proper Maintenance and Repair Peoria - Roofing Maintanence and Repair Done Right Peoria - Roofing Repair and Maintenance Done Right - Castile Roofing

The main focus here was ensuring that there are no leaks coming from the air-conditioner (so your AC bill isn’t through the roof; get it?) as well as from the vent exhausts. To do this, they used a special adhesive to ensure the areas remain airtight. This will further save the customer vast amounts on their heating and cooling bills, on top of the savings they will have from using Solar Energy!

Another Satisfied Customer and Roofer

Now we’ve reached the end, and the job is complete. Addressing the supports first prior to the roof work topside shows our care to the customer’s safety. Then, we got to work to further protect their investment in the home by cutting down potential leak areas. This is the professional quality you can rely and expect from us at Castile Roofing; Roofing Done Right in Peoria!

By Roofing, Repairs, Roofing Repair

How Much Does A New Roof Cost These Days

The roof protects your house from the elements, by keeping out the snow, sun, wind and rain. However, over time, things can happen that might cause your roof to start letting in moisture which can result in leaks. When they are dealt with right away, roof repairs will usually cost much less than having to have a complete roof replacement. However, if you put off necessary repairs for too long, small problems that your roof has might spread and result in your shingles and roof deck deteriorating, in addition to developing mildew, mold and water damage inside the house. To help with determining when roof repairs should be made, it helps to understand what the cost might be.

National Average Cost for Roof Repair

Home Advisor reports that the national average cost for roof repairs is approximately $652, with a majority of homeowners paying from $316 up to $1,015. However, the total spread in the cost can range from around $150 up to $1,900.

The amount of the variation in roof repair costs is mainly due to several significant factors including the following:

  • Area where you live
  • Extent of the damage
  • How accessible the area is that needs to be repaired
  • Type of material that your roof is made out of
  • Whether it is the flashing or shingles that need repairing

If you can determine some of things regarding that problems that needs repaired, you might be able to have a general idea of what your final cost will be prior to calling a professional.

Common Causes For Needing Roof Repairs

It is fairly common to need to have minor roof repairs done. There are a number of different things that might affect your roof and result in it needing a repair at some point. By themselves, none of the problems are really serious. However, if they are not addressed the damage might spread and result in you needing to have a complete roof replacement instead of just a basic repair. Search for the following if your roof is showing any signs of water infiltration or is leaking.

Missing shingles: Whatever material you roof happens to be made out of, over time you might end up losing some shingles. A heavy wind may blown them off or a storm could knock them off.

Damaged, dented or cracked shingles: Slate, asphalt and tile shingles may also be damaged, dented or cracked in a storm or be caused by things such as hail or falling tree limbs.

Leaking flashing: At times the shingles themselves aren’t causing the problem. Instead it is the flashing surrounding things such as the windows, chimneys and skylights.

Ice dams: Melting ice and snow on your roof may refreeze on the edges and result in an ice dam. Water can then start backing up underneath your shingles, and cause them to deteriorate more quickly.

Valleys: Water may collect anyplace you have a low spot on valley on your roof, which can cause leaks and shingle deterioration.

Low pitch roofs: It is more likely for a roof that has a low pitch to suffer damage during a storm.

Any of those kinds of damage, in addition to unseen damage that may result in water entering your house must be handled immediately. At times you can’t see those signs from the ground. However, you might find signs of mildew, mold or water damage inside your attic which can be an indication that there is a problem with your roof.

Common Roof Repairs for Various Materials

It really doesn’t matter ultimately what the cause of the leak is. It is necessary to address the problem before it gets worse. The most common causes for needing a roof repair are below, along with their average repair costs.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Home Advisor reports that getting the most common kind of problem for an asphalt roof corrected, like shingles getting damaged in a hail storm or high winds tearing them off will cost approximately $250.

 Wooden Roofs

Repairing a wooden shake roof costs about $360. Problems such as moss build up might cause the shakes to deteriorate to the point that they have to be replaced. You might discover insect activity in cases where the shakes were not treated properly.

 All Kinds of Flat Roofs

Almost all flat roofs including those that are made out of tar and foam will on average cost around $400 to repair. As flat roofs continue to age, they have a tendency to sag in the center. This can enable water to start to collect and then build up on the roof’s surface. The water over time will start to break the roofing material down, and force itself through the roof and down onto the deck and cause additional water damage and sagging.

Slate Roofs

It costs around $530 to repair slate roofs. On average they are the most expensive kind to repair. Usually common problems are the result of improper installation which causes a title to slightly stick up when it gets nailed down too hard. Slate roofs are also quite prone to getting ice dams along with the leaks associated with them.

Tile Roofs

It costs an average of $350 to repair a tile roof. Some of the most common problems include tiles deteriorating and buckling from the heat of the sun, which can enable water to infiltrate. Some tile roofs might always leaks, which allows water to collect on the roof deck’s underlayment. The underlayment will eventually fail, which will allow water inside the home.

Other Roof Repair Considerations and Costs

In addition to the shingles and flashing, you might also discover that your roof might need repairs to its trusses, gutters, soffits and fascia. These areas are all prone to developing issues such as rot, water damage and cracks, which may spreading to the roof deck and other parts of the deck. When your roof is being repair, your roofer might also discover other kinds of damage that you weren’t aware of. Those can add to your roof repair’s total cost.

Labor Costs

Costs of labor need to be factored into your roof repair’s total costs. This is mainly dictated by where you live. However, remember that another factor can be how accessible the area is that needs to be repaired. For example, an attached house or town house might be harder to reach, which can make the repair take longer.That can increase the total labor cost along with the repair’s overall total cost.

The labor cost on average for roof repairs nationwide ranges from $45 to $75 per hour. The final cost is dictated by the kind of roof you have, how extensive the damage is, and how easy it is to reach the damage. Usually the labor costs for Phoenix, AZ are in the middle at around $60 per hour.

Obtain an Accurate Estimate

Quite often roof problems can be a lot more widespread than what you thought initially. If you are having a problem at any point with water getting in your roof, or you have seen any signs of wood rots, mildew or mold inside your attic, then you should definitely call a trained roofing professional to come out to evaluate your roof. They can provide you with an accurate estimate on how much your roof repair will cost. If you are based in the Phoenix, Arizona are we will be happy to provide you with a free quote.
