Free Roofing Estimates in the Boise Area

We understand that having something wrong with your roof is one of the most stressful events for a homeowner to have. Here at Roofops: Energy Solutions in Boise, we offer free inspections to help you better understand what is going on with your roof.

During the inspection here are the things we look more closely at and that can cause future leaks:

Chimneys:

Around chimneys there is something called a flashing. A flashing is a sheet metal piece that ensures the area between the chimney and the roof is watertight. The chimney flashing will always expire over time. During our inspections we will look closer at your flashing and take pictures to show you what is going on and how we can better assist.

Eaves:

The eave of your roof is what the drip edge metal is connected to. It is at the edge of the roof and overhangs over the siding on your house. The eaves have some of the most weather stress on them. During ice dams the ice creeps up behind the metal and starts putting pressure on the shingles of the eaves. We always inspect the eaves to ensure the shingles are well maintained and can handle future weather conditions.

Valleys:

The valley of the roof is when two facets come together and make a literal valley in your roof. This is the hardest to apply for roofers because you are bringing two different facets together and tying them into each other. This also has a lot of stress on them because when rain and snow hits the roof it declines into the valleys due to the pitch and follows the valleys down the eaves. The valleys usually expires before the roofs do and in turn we spend extra amount of time inspecting them for our customers.

Pipe Boots:

Pipe boots are another type of flashing that protects your roof from a leak around your plumbing exhausts. These are usually made out of rubber and through decreasing and increasing temperatures and time they start to crack. Once your pipe boot cracks they are more in danger of leaking. The water will go through your cracked boots and through your exhaust pipe. Most inspectors will call this out in an inspection report and they will need to be replaced before selling or buying a home.

Missing shingles:

Missing shingles can mean a few different things. Your roof might have wind damage. You can learn more about this on our wind damage page. If you are missing shingles than it could also be be another cause that when your roof was installed that the installers nailed down the shingles above the nail line. The shingles in return will fall apart easier and you will find them in your lawn and on your driveway. During our inspections we will take multiple pictures of your missing shingles and let you know at the end of the inspection if your roof is a good candidate to call your adjuster.

Skylights:

Skylights have the same issues that chimneys do. There is a sheet metal around every skylight that is called flashing. The flashing ensures the opening between the skylight and the roof is sealed and will not leak. The flashing will expire after time and will need to be replaced. Also skylights leak due to the lid leaking. The glue around the lids will expire after time and weather damage and will also need to be replaced. If you have a skylight make sure that you get it looked at once every few years to ensure you won’t have a leak and future drywall problems.

RV-38 box vents:

During our inspections we always inspect every RV-38 box vents. Most roofs that are 5 years or older have plastic vents that need to be replaced. Plastic can not withstand the weather longterm. Every inspection will have a picture of the vents to make sure they are not cracked and can withstand the future.

Roof to wall flashing:

A common problem on your roof is the point where the gutter on a single-story roof eave dies into a two-story wall. All roofing contractors often install step flashing that allows roof water to slip behind the gutter and get behind the siding. Like all flashing that has been mentioned; it has an expiration date and will need to be inspected. During a re-roof process if the roof to wall metal does not need to be replaced it will not be unless asked or at an extra cost.

Exposed nail heads:

An exposed nail head is exactly what it sounds like. This is where the caulking has fallen off the nails and is exposing the head of them. An exposed nail head is never good on a roof because it is a sign of the shingles lifting due the roof age or weather. This is a concern because once the shingles lift you will see more shingles disappearing off the roof.

Mossy shingles:

Moss loves a damp, shady environment. This is why you will usually see the moss growing on the north side of your roof or under a large tree. Moss is never good for your roof because it will cause your roof to slowly degrade your shingles.

Bent Drip Edge Metal:

Drip edge metal is the metal around the edge/perimeter of your roof. Dmetal keeps the water from running down the fascia, helps supports the shingles on the edges of the roof, and if you have gutters it will help direct the water into the gutters. If your dmetal is bent then this roof accessory will not be able to do any of these jobs and you will see leaking through the fascia. If you are seeing this please know that an inspection is needed.

Ice dams:

Ice dams are essentially icicles at the edge of your roof. This happens when the top of your roof melts down the roof and freezes near the edge of your roof. You will notice an ice dam when you see icicles through the soffits, ice going from your gutters up the roof, and ice on the eaves. Ice dams can cause a lot of damage to your shingles. It also causes leaks through the walls into your house. Ice dams can also put so much pressure on your gutters they will pull the gutters off your house and cause structural damage.

Qualified Residential Roofing Solutions

Architectural Shingle Roofing: This shingle is also known as laminated or dimensional shingles. Architectural roofing shingles are among the highest quality roofing products made – They are composed of a heavy fiber glass mat base and mineral granules that are tightly embedded in carefully refined, water-resistant asphalt. This is the most popular roofing shingle that is chosen by homeowners and the most popular shingles that roofers offer. The technology has given the architectural shingle a long lasting life that is competitive with metal and tile roofs. The Architectural shingle can range from low-grade all the way to designer-grade that offers high weight and high wind warranties.

Metal Roofing: We offer the most popular of all metal roofs known as a standing-seam roof. This metal roof comes in all different colors and is ordered to go directly on your roof from the pitches to the different facets al the way down to the ridge. Why metal roofing? Metal is a type of roof that lasts a long time if given the opportunity during a thorough installation process. Metal also comes with a Class A fire resistance that happens to be the most resistant that a roof has to offer. Our metal roofing in Boise also offers a High Wind Warranty.

Tile Roofing: In addition to a beautiful appearance that enhances the curb appeal of a home, tile roofs also last a very long time. No matter what type of tile you use; a tile roof is made to last in Boise – even with our sporadic weather. Generally, they all last roughly 50 years. There are some climates that don’t get along with tile roofs. Tile roofs can not last in dry weather and also they do not work well with walking on your roof for repairs. The tile roofs are also fireproof, and the tiles themselves require little to no maintenance. They don’t usually grow mildew or algae. Newer concrete tiles are also available in different styles and different colors.
