Shingles and gutters and contractors, oh my! That's why we've created this article. This article will talk about tips and techniques to improve your roofing knowledge.
+
Roofing can be nightmarish for homeowners, particularly if there are leaks or insulation is poor. Once the roof dries, you'll be able to fix the problem.
  
−
Check out your roof thoroughly at least one time every year. The roof is particularly vulnerable during the cold winter months on in to the warmer spring season. In that time make sure you keep an extra eye out for issues.
+
Cut your grass just before a contractor arrives to take off your roof. This will make things much easier to find if dropped. A magnetic nail finder also works better in short grass if your contractor uses one.
  
−
Make a list of questions to ask before hiring a roofer. For instance, see how many nails a given contractor uses for every shingle. Typically, they should use more than 3 nails. Don't be afraid to find out your contractors shingling methods to see if their work meets industry standards. If the contractor does not provide you with an adequate response, then seek out another one.
+
Investigate the credentials and reputation of a roofing contractor before signing a contract. If you know anyone who recently had some work done on their roof, ask them for references. You would hate to hire the wrong roofing contractor because this could result in wasted time and money.
  
−
Always consider the climate when considering roofing. Clay roofs are great for dry climates and can help to keep the house cool. Clay roof tiles in rainy climates will cause your roof to deteriorate quickly. As always, if you aren't sure, then you should ask.
+
Locating the exact spot where a roof is leaking can take a little time. You are going to find the problem, and the use of a water hose and a buddy system can help. If you have a large house, try using cell phones to talk so that the water doesn't go into the house by mistake as you test possible leak areas.
  
−
Before putting your signature on paper, pose several questions. For example, ask how many nails they plan on putting in each shingle. Three nails are usually insufficient. Ask questions concerning methods, and see what answers you receive. If not, look somewhere else.
+
If you're getting pitched to by a high pressure roofing salesman then you need to tell them you're not interested. These unscrupulous people will stop at nothing to get you to sign a contract with them, and you always end up on the losing end, so stop them in their tracks.
  
−
If you have a leaking roof, but the roofing contractor you contacted can't get there for a couple days, you might want to try a temporary fix. Consider nailing in a layer of heavy plastic over the leaky area. This isn't the best way to handle a leak, but it will hold you over for now.
+
When it comes to your roof, you should never utilize temporary fixes. Although you may think you can save some money, this will likely cause further damage to your roof, causing you to spend even more money. Remember that an aggressive, complete repair job is always the more cost-effective solution in the long run. It will keep little problems from snowballing into big ones.
  
−
If your roofer is a few days away from attending at your home, there are temporary repairs you can undertake. Buy some heavy plastic, and secure it with nails. This isn't the best way to manage leaks, but it can help you out in a pinch.
+
Speak with a roofer about their offered warranties. Some may provide you with better deals than others. Make sure you get any warranty in writing (and the estimate too). You'll need that if the time arises where there is an issue. This will prevent ant disagreements in the future.
  
−
Don't use remedies that only work for short periods of time when dealing with roof repairs. It may seem cost effective at the time, but in the end, you are more likely to have further damage that will only cost you more money. Always fix issues quickly and completely, to avoid major issues later.
+
Use your hose to spray a leaky roof. This will confirm the location of the leak, if there is one. This is more cost effective than hiring a professional.
  
−
It's best to use a roofing contractor who has extensive experience in the industry. You might consider asking family and friends for personal recommendations. This is vital since having terrible repairs done can cost you a lot of money.
+
You should consider the length of time that a contractor has worked. Businesses with a longer history tend to be more reputable and understand how to satisfy their customers. Someone who hasn't been doing business very long may be a scammer.
  
−
Before you install new shingles, you should check out your roofing materials. Quite a few leaks happen due to improper installation, whether that be shingles that have cracked, nails that are too long, or something else. Here's hoping that this article has given you some useful tips, and will help you to keep your roof in good shape.[http://www.collegestationroofers.org/ I suggest looking at this]
+
If your home has endured a powerful wind storm, it is important that you thoroughly inspect your roof for damage. If necessary, climb up on top of your roof. If you see any damage, it needs to be repaired immediately. Take a good look, but keep safety in mind.

If you need roof repairs, you need to do your research, whether it will be you or a professional making the repairs. Keep this information in mind as you move forward.[http://www.collegestationroofing.net/ I highly recommend this]
