NY Shingle Roofing | Long Island Roof Maintenance

July 24, 2014

New York Shingle Roofing Options

There are many options for roofing shingles, based on the material you’d like and what your budget is. The most common choice for homeowners in Suffolk County or Nassau County is composite roofing because the mat is reinforced with fiberglass and other materials that make it waterproof. Also, the top layer is created to be stronger and is very pleasing to look at. Let Roof Pro, your local New York Roofing company help you with the options for which shingle works best.

April 17, 2014

Bay Shore Gutter Cleaning

Roof Pro Inc is a Long Island Roofing company that provides a full service roof maintenance for residential structures that not only cleans and services gutters and leaders; it comprises the entire exterior of your home in Nassau County and Suffolk County. The exterior of your home is exposed to many weather conditions such as extreme heat and exposure to harmful UV rays, below freezing temperatures, snow and ice. These exposures can cause movement of the sub-structure and breakdown of seals and coatings. Over time these conditions will create potential water intrusions, and shorten the life expectancy of your roof.

Can I put ice and water shield on the entire roof?

March 18, 2014

Ice & Water Shield Roof

There are mixed recommendations and opinions that come from manufacturers as to the use of Ice & Water Shield to “completely” cover all roof surfaces that are to be shingled. The answer we get is that it may trap moisture in the structure and not allow it to “permeate” thru the roof assemblies. I have always been of the opinion that excessive interior moisture inside a building should be controlled with humidity equipment and or air control and not allowed to “permeate” thru wood structure from the inside out. New York Roofing Service installs flat roof over wood substrates would have the same “non permeable” effect that Ice & water shield has and from experience, any damage we have ever found on a wood substrate roof deck had come from the roof leaking.

NY Ice Damming | New York Residential Roofing Service

March 13, 2014

Bay Shore Roof Repair

Ice Damming is the result of multiple conditions and factors happening after a snow event in New York. Shingle roofs are designed to work with pitch and overlap. Shingles and flashings are layered from bottom to top and the angle of the roof uses gravity to “shed” water down and off the roof surface. If the “shedding” of water is obstructed from moving down and off the field of the roof, water will pool and begin to “seep” thru the overlapped shingles and leaks to the interior of the structure will occur.
