Importance of following up with Hail Damage

Alpha Roofing2020-04-03T14:41:36+00:00It's often hard for property owners to grasp the importance of following up with hail damage to a roof.  Many times when hail damages a roof, it is not large enough to penetrate the roof surface and cause immediate roof leaks, therefor the damage isn't recognizable to the untrained eye.  When hail hits a shingle roof it can cause small fractures in the matting and asphalt components of the shingle compromising its longevity and effectiveness.  The granules on the...

Alpha Roofing2020-03-28T06:50:51+00:00It can be difficult to sift through the many different options a property owner or manager may have, when it comes to the selection of shingles to put on their roof.  Shingle manufacturers have come a long way in developing better shingles, and we put our trust in products from Malarkey https://malarkeyroofing.com/.

Roof Leaks and Diagnosing

Alpha Roofing2020-03-19T17:43:05+00:00Roof leaks can come from many different places, but we commonly find them around roof penetrations, or where the roof line changes directions.  Pipe boots, roof vents, and any other roof accessory that you may have on your roof, could be a source for a leak.  Many times these leaks go unnoticed unless an inspection is performed . In this image, the decking near a static roof vent had been compromised from moisture exposure. We find that these kinds of...
