With summer quickly approaching, CLC Roofing wants to educate you on the importance of proper roof venitilation. Whether replacing your roof or not, it is important to have the right amount of ventilation for the size of your roof and attic area in your home.
Excessive heat in your attic causes many problems for the homeowner. First, a hot attic translates into a hot house causing the air conditioning to run more often. In addition, heat in the attic heats up the underside of your roof allowing your shingles to be essentially baked from underneath which can lead to brittle shingles and roofing materials that fails prematurely.
However, in the winter months, proper roofing ventilation is also important. During the colder months, excessive moisture can build up in the attic area of your home. Keeping ventilation paths opens is key to removing moisture which can condense and cause your insulation to deteriorate. Moisture can also play a role in detoriation of roofing components.
Year round, ventilation plays an important role in your home’s energy efficiency and roof stability. CLC Roofing understands that you want to save money and protect your largest investment-your home. If you are concerned about the amount of ventilation that your roof has, call CLC Roofing and let us evaluate your current system.
If proper ventilation is not applied to your home’s roof, some shingle companies will even void their warranty . The shingle manufacturer usually provides recommendations on the proper amount of ventilation required for your roof size to ensure their products work well over time. CLC Roofing adheres to these recommendations at the minimum when replacing a roof ensuring that your home and roof are protected.

Here is a list of questions to ask a prospective contractor including the answers that you should expect.
Ask the following questions:
1. Do you have general liability insurance? Can I see a copy or verify that it is indeed active? It is very important that your roofer have this insurance as a protection for you, the homeowner.
2. How many roofs have you done in the area? Do you have references? May I call them? Take the time to call these references and ask them about their roofing experience.
3. Do you have any complaints filed at the Better Business Bureau? Regardless of their answer, you can verify this information by visiting the Better Business Bureau. Click here to find out more.
4. When will I be expected to pay for the job? The contractor should reply, “An initial payment will be due, when we have the materials or have placed the order for the materials (some materials like slate, tile, etc. are special order with no return policy).” The contractor should not expect final payment until all the work is completed.
5. Can you help me with my insurance claim? Part of a roofing company’s job should be to help homeowners with their insurance claims. That is why CLC Roofing has licensed insurance adjusters who can help the homeowner navigate the insurance claim process.
In addition, it is important to know your rights when purchasing a roof. Insurance companies often encourage homeowners to get multiple bids merely as a delay tactic while they schedule an adjuster to come evaluate the roofs. However, it isn’t necessary for you to go this route. Waiting around on multiple contractors can be a waste of your time. It is important to know that if you have a trusted roofing company that has answered all of your questions, the insurance company is required to pay the appropriate market value for a quality roofing job in your area.
Furthermore, many homeowners become nervous about raised premiums or a canceled insurance policy from filing a roof claim. Insurance premiums are not raised or lowered based on bad weather in your area. Insurance companies can’t raise premiums based on acts of God/Mother Nature nor can they cancel policies. Homeowners should understand that insurance premiums are regulated by the State Board of Insurance in Austin, TX not by your specific insurance company based on claims.
CLC Roofing knows that replacing a roof can lead to a lot of questions which is why we are committed to giving you the knowledge necessary for a successful roof replacement. Please call our office at 800-810-2521 with any questions or to schedule your free roof assessment today.

The blue circles highlight holes in the roof that can become bigger problems later if left untreated. Damaged shingles can result in leaks but more importantly a weakening of the roof itself.
