Hail Damage Roof Inspection Tips

May 5, 2020/in Blog, Roof Inspections, Roof Repairs, Roofing Palm City, FL/by Jennifer

Rain and storms are common occurrences in Florida during springtime, which can cause significant storm damage to your home’s roof. Costly problems can arise from undiagnosed roof damage so it is important that any roof damage after a storm be diagnosed and addressed in a timely manner.

Regular Roof Inspections

Your roof should be regularly inspected. Regular inspections enable you to better know your roof’s condition before a storm so you have something to compare it with, enabling you to better document any damage and when it occurred. This is especially helpful information when filling storm-related roof damage insurance claims.

Take pictures of your roof when you inspect it so you have pictures of it in its normal state as well as photos of your roof after a hail storm comes through. This offers you unprecedented proof that your roof was damaged by hail.

Inspect Your Roof Right After a Storm

Wind and storm damage can take a toll on a roof. The sooner you check out your roof’s status after a storm, the better you can avoid damage, including leaks, inside your home or business. This is also helpful for insurance claims for roof damage because you will have more data to offer to your insurance company.

Also check your gutters to ensure they are in good condition after a storm. If your gutters show signs of storm damage, there’s a good chance your roof has experienced wear and damage during a recent hail storm.

Identifying Hail Damage

Hail damage is typically seen as fractures and/or indentations on your shingles. Hail stones come in various sizes and shapes and can make differing patterns of depressions and dents. If you don’t see any dents, check for indentations on siding, metal flashings, skylight flashings and chimney caps.

The most common types of hail damage include:

· Fractured fiberglass mats

· Cracks in the asphalt surfacing

· Granule loss on shingles

· Exposed fiberglass mats

· Loosening in the self-seal strips

Some hail damage is not immediately noticeable. It may cause latent damage that is visible right away but sometimes the damage appears over time, resulting in premature aging of shingles. Latent damage can take months or years to show up.

Call a top-rated roofing contractor

Climbing on your own roof may not always be the best idea. If you are not comfortable doing so, or if you are unsure of whether or not you have hail damage on your roof after a storm, call an expert to diagnose your roofing storm damage.

Roof Coating project near Jensen Beach FL

May 5, 2020/in Blog, Roof Maintenance, Roof Repairs, Roofing Jensen Beach, FL/by Jennifer

The crew at All Area Roofing & Construction had the opportunity to complete a roof coating project for a homeowner’s roof in Jensen Beach, Florida.

The existing roof was in good condition overall but the homeowner knew of the benefits of roof coating. His residential roof is flat and he knew that roof coating helps to prevent water damage from pooling water, in addition to other physical damage that saves him money overall.

As a previous client of ours, he gave us a call to have us come take a look at his roof. We showed up later that day as we were already in the area and gave him an estimate. Because his roof has been well-maintained by us, it was eligible for a roof coating.

We scheduled to do the job the next Monday afternoon. We arrived a little ahead of schedule, after calling the client to be sure it worked for him, and started out by lightly power washing the surface of the roof to enhance adhesion of the coating. We then applied commercial grade coating to a minimum thickness of 22 wet mills.

The client was thrilled with the speed at which our crew completed the job and loved our work. Thanks for choosing All Area Roofing & Construction for your roofing needs!

Roof replaced with Tamko Architectural shingles in Palm City

February 3, 2020/in Roof Replacement, Blog, Roofing Palm City, FL, Shingle Roof/by Jennifer

All Area Roofing & Construction had the opportunity to perform a residential roof replacement for a nice young couple in Palm City, Florida.

The couple who owned the home was ready to have their roof replaced because it was almost 20 years old. It was also beginning to show signs of wear, including curling shingles and some spots appeared on the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. Although it wasn’t leaking yet, they wanted to take action sooner than later so it wouldn’t get worse.

The homeowners asked some of their friends if they had any residential roofing contractor recommendations for them to call and several told them to call us, so they did. We went out for an estimate and discussed their current roof and what they wanted in a new roof. They decided on a shingle roof with red tones to compliment the color of their house.

The job was scheduled to begin two weeks out but we had an opening and were able to start the job the following week instead. Our crew arrived early on a Thursday morning and quickly tore off the old shingle roof. The decking was in good shape so we did not have to repair it at all. We had their new Tamko Architectural shingles installed by the end of the second day.

The couple was thrilled, saying they were extremely happy with the results. They gave us fantastic reviews on social media. Thank you for choosing All Area Roofing & Construction to put your new shingle roof on.

All Area Roofing & Construction completed a manufactured home roof replacement with a new metal roof near Sebastian, FL.

The homeowner realized that his roof was starting to show signs of wear. The shingles were curling and he saw some water spots on the ceiling in his manufactured home. Concerned about structural damage, he decided to take action and began the process of finding a reputable residential roofing contractor to help.

He searched Google from his phone and found us. Based on our website and our reviews he decided to reach out to us. He called to tell us about his home and that he wanted a new roof but wasn’t sure what exactly he wanted, asking us to stop by to talk to him. We arrived for the estimate the next afternoon and ran through all of the options available to him. He liked the idea of having a metal roof installed for its durability and longevity in addition to the fact that they are environmentally responsible and fully recyclable.

We scheduled to come out two weeks from the day of the installation because he was heading out of town the day after we met for about a week and a half and he wanted to be present while we worked on his roof. When the day came, we arrived early in the morning and tore off his old roof quickly and efficiently, leaving no debris behind and replaced it with a beautiful and secure 26 GA 5V Galvalume Mill Finished Metal Roof.

January 27, 2020/in Blog, Roof Replacement, Roofing Jensen Beach, FL/by Jennifer

We recently had the opportunity to take on a residential roof replacement job near Jensen Beach FL. The client was ready to have a new roof installed. His current roof was reaching the end of its life span and he needed it to be up to Florida code. He was especially concerned about meeting wind mitigation code, which requires a roof be installed properly and pass the following areas of concern with proper roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall attachment, roof geometry, opening protection and a resistance to secondary water.

He called us to express his concerns and to ask if we could install a roof up to code. We were happy to tell him that we were able to do just that, and scheduled the job to be done within the next week. The homeowner looked through our current list of roofing options and decided on the Cottage Red Certain Teed Shingles, which we installed the next week.

Our team arrived early in the morning and had the old roof off within a couple of hours. By the end of the day, we had the new roof on and all cleanup finished. The customer reached out to us to tell us that his roof looks amazing now and he is so satisfied with the results. We couldn’t be happier and are thankful you trusted us to perform your residential roof installation that is now up to Florida Wind Mitigation Code.

Curling asphalt shingles replaced with metal roof in Fort Pierce, FL

January 17, 2020/in Blog, Metal Roofs, Roofing Fort Pierce, Shingle Roof/by Jennifer

We completed another beautiful residential metal roof project in the Fort Pierce, Florida area last month. The homeowner had an asphalt shingle roof that dated back to 2001. The shingles had started curling and there was also some previous patchwork. The homeowner realized that it was time to upgrade to a new roof.

The client is a client of our plumbing company that we use for repairs in our office. They referred him to us so he gave us a call. He told us about the details about his roof and wanted to be sure his new roof would hold up well to severe weather and also last longer. We told him that metal roofing actually has a longer life than asphalt shingles and also stands up better to the elements. He liked what he heard and upgraded to a 26g galvalume 5v metal roof, which is one of the most durable metal roof panels on the market. We also installed new lead plumbing stacks and galvalume roof vents for him.

We showed up at the job mid-day Thursday to get started. Our crew worked quickly and efficiently and had the entire job finished before the end of day on Friday. The homeowner recently reached out to us to tell us how happy he was with our work and his new work. He still enjoys coming home to it at the end of the day even a month later.

Thank you for giving All Area Roofing & Construction the opportunity to install your new residential roof!

Vero Beach Marina – New Metal Roof just in time!

October 2, 2019/in Blog, Metal Roofs, Roofing Vero Beach/by Jennifer

A marina in Vero Beach, Florida found All Area Roofing & Construction online and called our main office in a panic. Their metal roofs had major rusting and leaks. Our roofing experts visited the site, found problems in the roof as well as the underlying structure, and then created a detailed proposal that worked with the local customers needs and stayed within budget.

Once the marina owner was perfectly happy with the proposal, our fully bonded and safety certified contractors leapt to work. First they had to strip the old metal roof down to the wood, and then look through that wooden roof support for damage, too. All Area Roofing & Construction replaced the damaged wooden decking too, as well as replacing damaged roof parts on the building like siding. Then these experienced roofing contractors installed a metal roof and gutters as well.

The Vero Beach marina owner loved the new roof as well as the clean look of the building. They were so impressed that our roofing experts at All Area Roofing and Construction put in such durable roof supports in such a short amount of time, but they really loved the warranties on the roof.

Since 1997, All Area Roofing & Construction has been the leader in roofing in the Vero Beach, Florida area. That’s over twenty years of helping commercial and residential clients keep safe and dry under a new roof. We understand the needs of local property owners, and we work hard to exceed their expectations.

Roof Repair in Port St. Lucie

October 2, 2019/in Blog, Roof Repairs, Roofing Port St. Lucie/by Jennifer

A Port St. Lucie condo homeowners association called All Area Roofing & Construction with some major roof problems. Many of the roofs showed leaks, deterioration and damage. The HOA informed us that all buildings needed complete new roof installation. An unexpected problem was the weather, as it wasn’t great when the HOA had appropriated funds for the roof installations.

Our experienced roofers weren’t put out by the weather, and we got an excellent crew on site. This work was a full re-roofing of several condo buildings. First we removed the old roof all the way down to the wood decking, then inspected and repaired the underlying structure. Once the wooden structure was ready, our team installed a brand new metal roof. We also replaced and repaired many other problem areas in the underdecking and the areas around the roof structure. Additionally the gutter system was not functioning properly and some of the roof did not have any gutters. In order to minimize water damage to the property we did a complete gutter install as well.

When the project was completed, our local Port St. Lucie, Florida condo residents and HOA were thrilled with the finished product. They loved all the finishing touches. and really liked how quickly and efficiently our contractors finished the work.

The experienced contractors at All Area Roofing & Construction have worked in Florida for almost twenty years, so we understand that our local customers are the key to our success, both commercial and residential. You can become a satisfied customer too, just contact us today!
