Smart Roofing, Inc.

SMART Roofing, Inc will inspect, install, service and warrant your roof all from a convenient Single Source! Inspection Services: Smart Roofing will inspect your roof, identify existing or potential problems and help you develop an overall roofing plan to meet your needs. Technical Assistance: Smart Roofing will work with you to develop recommendations for roof repair or replacement to meet your specific roof requirements. We recommend: Inspect your roof in the late fall and early spring (you may need binoculars). Look for loose shingles, or, if you have a tile or slate roof, look for missing or cracked pieces. On shingle roofs, look for curling, fraying, and tears on edges. Don't forget to check the flashings around chimneys, vents, skylights and other roof penetrations - they should be tight and in good condition. If you see any of these signs of wear, call a professional roofing contractor for a more thorough inspection. Keep gutters and downspouts clean and free of leaves, sticks and other debris. Keep trees trimmed away from the house. STAY OFF THE ROOF! Walking on its surface can do a great deal of damage. And, you could fall! If you must see the roof for yourself, use a firmly braced or tied-off ladder equipped with rubber safety feet. Wear rubber-soled shoes. Stay on the ladder. Roof Enemies: SUN- Heat and ultraviolet rays cause roofing materials to deteriorate over time. RAIN- When water gets underneath the shingles, shakes or other roofing materials, it can work its way to the deck and cause the roof structure to rot. WIND- High winds can lift the edges of shingles (or other roofing materials) and force water - and debris - underneath them. SNOW & ICE - Melting snow often refreezes at the roof's overhang and blocks drainage into the gutter. Water then backs up under the roofing material. MOSS & ALGAE- Moss can grow on wood shingles and shakes if they are kept moist by poor sunlight conditions or bad drainage. Once it grows, moss holds even more moisture to the roof's surface, causing rot. TREES - Tree branches touching the roof will scratch and gouge the roof materials as they are blown back and forth by the wind. Our Customers Say It Best!
