The right color

September 18, 2024 by MikeDominick

How to Choose a Roof Color

If you’re in the market for a roof replacement or building a new home, you’ve probably considered the overall exterior look of your home and how your roof will play into that look. Your roof can easily complement your home’s curb appeal due to the ever growing options in color and texture of roofing materials. Phoenix Roofing offers a wide variety of roofing materials, colors and looks.

Here are few things to consider when choosing a roof color:

–       What are your HOA regulations if there are any? Do they require a specific roof color?

–       Are you looking for a high contrast option or something more cohesive?

–       Do you want a color that makes natural wear and tear harder to see?

–       What does the rest of your home look like and what colors will complement that?

The most popular roof colors are neutral such as brown, grey, black, charcoal or offwhite. Be sure to view roof samples in various types of light so you really see what the color looks like. If you have questions about what type of roofing material and color would be best for your home, talk to the experienced team at Phoenix Roofing or visit us online to schedule a free inspection at www.phoenixroofingsc.com.

Roof Buckling

August 12, 2024 by MikeDominick

Roof buckling is when the shingles on your roof can appear wrinkled or distorted. This can happen for a variety of reasons but is typically an issue with movement of the roof deck. A roof deck refers to the boards that make up the framing of the roof itself. Buckling can happen with any type of roof deck but more typically happens with board decks.

Reasons for roof buckling includes:

–       Exposure of the roof deck to moisture during construction or repair

–       Expansion or contraction of board decks

–       Uneven decking installation

–       Poor nail installation or materials under the shingles 

If you suspect issues with roof buckling contact Phoenix Roofing for a free roof inspection. We know what to look for and how to fix it. Having your roof working as it should is a vital part of your home’s structural integrity. Visit phoenixroofingsc.com to schedule.

Storm Damage and Rain

August 8, 2024 by MikeDominick

Tropical storms and hurricanes are known for their roof damaging capabilities from high winds to hail, but can heavy rain be enough to cause roof problems?  Forecasters are predicting that Hurricane Debby may be capable of dumping heavy amounts of rain in a short amount of time. Even without the wind and hail associated with those storms, rain can create its own set of issues.

Water can get underneath your roof shingles and cause damage to the structure of the roof deck leading to potential leaks into your home. Large amounts of rain in a short period of time can overwhelm your home’s gutters leading to possible flooding. Heavy rain will infiltrate even the smallest of cracks in the seals on your roof.

It is important to have regular roof inspections especially during hurricane season. To set up your free roof inspection visit www.phoenixroofingsc.com.
