Assessing your Atlanta roof estimate quickly isn’t too tough, but you don’t want to just jump at the lowest price, especially if it is considerably lower than the others. A price that is radically lower than its competitors could be cause for your red flag to go up. However, you do want to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible.

The best thing to do is to look over the references and choose the company that you feel most comfortable with. A good Atlanta roofing contractor will have a good attitude and be willing to work with you to meet your needs for a reasonable price. Say no to contractors who do not seem interested or willing to give you the information you request to make your decision. A good contractor will be prepared to give you several references and examples of completed jobs.

Ask your prospective contractors for references, and call them. Speak with previous clients and ask, “Would you hire this contractor again?” The fastest way to get an idea of a contractor’s trustworthiness is by asking for their references. If the past clients seem pleased, then you can convincingly expect that you will have a similar, positive experience.

No matter how urgently your roof needs repair, don’t take chances with bad contractors. Be confident in knowing the contractors are licensed and have good reputations.

Our reputation is pristine and we do our very best to earn our reputation as such. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions about your Atlanta roof repair, our company, or our history serving happy Atlanta homeowners since 1997.

1) Inspect Your Roof
If possible, go up onto your roof to check its condition. Note: do this ONLY if you can do it safely, and with a partner. Look for cracked or missing shingles, bald spots on shingles, missing or damaged flashing, and other conditions that might permit leaks. If composition shingles look old, bend back the corner of one; if it crumbles or breaks, plan for replacement.

Do not climb onto a roof that is steep, wet, or icy- ever. Instead, check the surface from a ladder or, use a pair of binoculars to look for damaged or missing shingles. You can check the gutters along a typical asphalt-shingle roof for fine, gravel-like granules that wash down from the roof’s surface. An accumulation of these usually means the surface is wearing away and replacement time is near. If the situation is serious, call a reputable Atlanta roofing contractor.

2) Check your gutters.
While you’re on the ladder, look into the gutters. If they are clogged with leaves and debris, either call a gutter specialist or clean the gutters yourself- only if safe. Gutters avert basement and foundation flooding and water harm to siding, windows, and doors. When stopped up with leaves and debris, they will fill with rainwater and overflow. To cause more difficulties, the additional weight of the water may pull them loose from the eaves and cause much more damage to your home.

3) Inspect your siding.
Check the siding for cracks, damage, and separations. In many cases, you can seal up any leaky spots with clear caulk (or buy paintable caulk and touch up with paint). For more serious siding repairs, call a good Atlanta siding contractor.

When inspecting your siding and you notice the paint reveals problems such as blistering, peeling, or chalking, either touch them up (if the areas are small) or call a trustworthy Atlanta painting contractor.

4) Check the weather stripping in your home.
Check to see if windows and doors are efficiently sealed with weather stripping. Weather stripping will stop drafts and losing heat in the winter. If your weather stripping is damaged, it’s usually most effective to completely replace it instead of try to repair it.

5) Service the heating system.
If your home is heated by a radiator furnace, turn off the power to the unit and replace its disposable filter or clean its permanent filter. When you have the furnace cabinet open, brush and vacuum the blower blades. If you see possible leaks around the air ducts, seal them by wrapping them with duct tape.

Sweep the chimney.
If you can see past the damper in the bottom the chimney, shine a flashlight up from inside to look for black, scaly creosote buildup on the inner walls, which must be removed occasionally to avoid chimney fires. The amount of buildup inside the chimney will depend on how much wood you burn, what type of wood you typically burn, and how long it has been since the last cleaning. Sweeping the chimney is generally suggested to be done annually for an active fireplace.

 The first thing you need to know is that finding where the roof is leaking is not always easy, and even after the leak is found it is sometimes difficult to know how to proceed.

Leaks in roofs are often difficult to find since they often originate at a different area from where they show themselves inside your home. In order to find the true source of the leak, you must consider how water flows. Water will typically come in through worn out or missing shingles, in places where nails that have loosened over time, or through poorly sealed vents, skylights, and chimneys. After the water has passed through the roofing, it will flow along the roof rafters or even along the top of your ceiling until it finds a spot to drip into the home.

Look for the roof leak during the day, when natural light is optimal. Climb into the attic with a bright flashlight or camping light and start where the leak made itself evident and work backwards to the roof. Be sure to look for signs of moisture along the framing. Also look for water stains or discolorations that could have been made by water.

After you have checked the area for moisture, turn on the light and look for a hole where you will most likely see daylight through the roof. This process may be difficult with a wood-shingled roof, since such a roof will have several places where shingles overlap and let in light.

If the trouble turns out to be missing or damaged shingles, the procedure for repairing a leaking roof is relatively easy. Replacing the worn out or damaged shingles should be enough to patch the leak and prevent it from coming back. While you are up on the roof replacing shingles, though, be sure to inspect the whole roof for more problems. It is best to replace the shingles as you find them damaged, rather than to wait for the leak to come back- worse nest time- before taking the needed action.

An undetected and unrepaired leak can quickly spread, creating not just water damage inside the home but serious damage to the roof and the structure of the home as well. Finding and repairing a leaking roof is not always easy, but it is important to chase down any leaks quickly. At least, until a qualified roofer is able to come out and repair the problem. Remember that with a licensed Atlanta Roofing Contractor, they are certified and careful to NOT void the warranty of your Atlanta Roofing materials, something that can be easily overlooked.

Gutters are what keep the roof water from collecting near your foundation.
Not only do gutters help direct water from the foundation (if installed correctly), they also create a route that directs water away from walkways. When this occurs, walkways can become slippery and unsafe, causing damage or creating and injury risk. Many older Atlanta homes have poorly designed water drainage systems, therefore, Atlanta gutters must be maintained to keep your home safe. Biltmore Roofing can consult with you to fix your water problems.

If your gutters are leaking, it is usually a sign that seams have come loose or that a section of gutter has become corroded. Leaky gutters can be patched or repaired. Oftentimes, it is inexpensive to repair or replace gutters. And the consultation is always free.

It is hard to imagine the extensive damage that can be caused by something as delicate as a leaf, or even pine straw. Leaves can clog gutters and downspouts resulting in severe problems and expensive home repairs. Not to mention, leaves and pine straw create nice, snuggly nests for birds and squirrels, who love to burrow into fascia board and get into you attic in the cold winter.
