Roofing

Musty smelling attics are often an indication of moisture and improper attic venting. To ensure your roof lasts and performs for a long time, it is essential the ventilation of the attic and roof are sufficient. Ventilation is accomplished using a variety of different roofing material products. These air vents are installed at key locations and areas of the roof. The objective is to create the right air flow into and out of the attic space. This air flow is what helps control the air temperatures in the attic space, as well as moisture.

Most Canadian homeowners will only replace their roofing systems once or twice during the entire time they own their home. Of course severe storms, excess snowfalls and other such natural causes can result in having to have roofs replaced or repaired several times over the period you own your home.

Ice dams are a ridge of ice that forms along the edge of your roof during the winter typically after fairly decent snowfalls and long periods with temperatures remaining below freezing. Ice dams stop melting snow water from draining correctly off the roof into the gutters.

The roofing system on your home does require periodic maintenance to ensure it is protecting your home correctly. Without proper inspections from an experienced roofing contractor, like us here at Logik Roofing, the roof system can develop minor problems, like small leaks. If left unrepaired can become more costly to fix.

Some people attempt to save money when they need a new roof by doing DIY roof replacement. However, not all of these projects are successful and actually have been known to create even bigger problems and hassles for the homeowners.

When you need to replace your roof or have damage that needs repaired, it is often best to hire a roofing contractor who is reputable and does high quality work. Replacing the roof on your home is one of the bigger investments of home ownership and you will want the work done correctly, the first time.
