Wind-Damaged Roofs May Warrant Full Replacement

admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:22:21 +0000

Keep these things in mind when inspecting roofs from our severe wind storm February 25th 2013. Visible wind damage, such as missing or dislodged shingles are easy to spot from the ground. However, high winds can lift the shingles, depositing dirt and debris between them to the point where they do not seal properly, therefore the whole roof is usually compromised with this scenario. Wind can also crack or break the shingles without dislodging them, bending them back to the point that the matting is fractured. Both types of damage are not always visible from the ground, but will greatly affect the life of the roof and make the case for a full roof replacement with the insurance company. To repair only missing shingles without addressing the entire situation leaves the roof more susceptible to future damage from even lighter force winds. Therefore, Ja-Mar Roofing is not able to offer a warranty for a repaired roof from a wind event like yesterday so we advise our customers to let us make temporary repairs and meet with the insurance company to make the case for a full replacement of the roof if it warrants.

Austin Roofs take a Beating from Hail Storm!

admin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 16:25:53 +0000

Roof in Austin

How about that hail that blew through Austin? For homeowners, it is not always easy to tell if you have hail damage from the ground. It takes the professional eye of a knowledgeable roofing professional to determine the extent of your damage. Hail Damage may seem nonthreatening and harmless, however, that is untrue.

Austin hail

Generally hail damage can be identified by indentations or bruising in the shingles , however this can sometimes be difficult to identify and takes a trained eye to notice this.Hail damage loosens granules that protect your roof, leaving your roof susceptible to further damage. Hail jeopardizes the integrity of your entire roof. Over time, the lost granules lead to more roof deterioration, and ultimately inside threats. If your roof is compromised, so is everything under that roof.

That is why it is so important to let a trained hail professional take a look at your roof and help you get it replaced. This gives you an uncompromised roof and peace of mind. If you just weathered Austin’s unexpected hail storm… call us immediately and let us help you today!
