Did You Know

According to this article, it is estimated that nearly 9 out of 10 roofs in North America are vented improperly.  That’s a whole lot of property just waiting for problems. What kind of problems, you ask??
A great-looking roof that isn’t installed properly won’t last very long. Without adequate venting, the life of your roof will be cut short. Proper venting is paramount in a roof installation because it allows for necessary airflow thereby decreasing your utility bills. If your attic and roof deck become too hot or too cold, your heating and cooling system goes into overdrive. An HVAC system working too hard costs you money. And who wants to spend extra money on electric bills?

Another huge reason to ventilate your roof: restricted airflow allows dangerous moisture to build up. This kind of moisture can lead to mold which poses a health risk for you and your family. Add to that, too much moisture decreases the life of your roof. Wow, if money isn’t reason enough…your health sure is!

It doesn’t matter how great your shingles are if they aren’t vented adequately. What a wasted investment. Make sure your roofing contractor is installing your roof correctly, with sufficient venting.

You’ve seen the phrase lately, haven’t you? Shop local. What you probably didn’t realize is that it pertains to the roofing industry…big time. In fact, hiring local when it comes to roofing is key.
Why does it matter, you ask? Let us give you 5 reasons to hire local on your next roof:

1. TIME:
Need a contactor to get to your job quickly? Someone local can generally get to your roof sooner.

2. COST:
Hiring local keeps your costs down. You aren’t paying the hidden travel costs by an out of town company. Beware of storm-chasers as they may not be carrying the proper liability insurances, which place you at a cost risk should an accident occur.

3. SERVICE:
Put a name with a face. Hiring local allows you to connect with people, not just a company. Should you have any issues down the line, you’ll know exactly who to call.

4. WARRANTY:
Let’s face it, warranty issues are a pain to deal with. What’s worse, having warranty problems that aren’t being addressed because you hired someone from out of town. You can save yourself a lot of hassle by choosing local.

5. COMMUNITY:
Choosing a local roofing contractor helps your community. Silly, you say? Maybe, but consider this. A local company who takes pride in their community is most likely ordering products within the community. They’re employing people around you and creating jobs. Buying local keeps revenue in your town and, long term, benefits you!

Capstone Roofing is proud to be a family-owned, LOCAL business. And, as you read, local really does matter when it comes to roofing.
