Above all else, your residential roof sets the tone for the overall style and appearance of your home. It protects the greatest asset above and beyond the home itself and everything in it… most importantly, our families.

If your residential roof is fifteen to twenty-five years old, it is likely time to schedule a roof inspection. Roofing contractors in Savannah GA will be able to assess the condition of your roof and let you know if your roof needs repair or needs to be replaced.

Whether you’re roofing a new home or repairing or replacing an existing one, RPI roofing contractors Savannah GA has you covered.

ROOF REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

The last thing you want to do is put off having your roof repaired or replaced until a problem becomes evident. Small leaks can cause significant damage if left unchecked. It’s much better to address any problems or potential problems right away, before they inevitably worsen to become more extensive--not to mention more expensive--fixes.

Finding fine, sand-like granules in your gutters is a sure sign your roof will soon need replacing. These particles form a protective layer over your roofing shingles; once worn away, your roof begins to age far more quickly.

The best way to ensure your roof doesn’t need repair or replacement is to have it periodically inspected by a licensed and insured roofer like RPI Residential Roofing Services in Savannah.

TYPES OF ROOFING

When it comes to residential roofing, the most common roofing materials are asphalt or metal. Of the two, asphalt is far more popular, being affordable and relatively durable. On the other hand, metal residential roofs last almost twice as long as those made with asphalt shingles.

Asphalt Shingles:

There are two basic types of asphalt shingles, standard three-tab shingles, and architectural shingles. Traditional three-tab asphalt shingles are available in a wide range of colors and will last from fifteen to twenty-five years on average.

Also called dimensional or laminated shingles, architectural shingles are built to a heavier quality standard than are standard three-tab shingles. Architectural shingles are constructed of premium materials and are available in a large variety of textures, colors, and patterns. Because they’re manufactured using more and better materials, architectural shingles last longer than the standard three-tab type.

Because they’re thicker than standard shingles, architectural shingles don’t lie precisely flat, giving a roof a nuanced, “dimensional” aesthetic.

Metal Roofing:

Quickly gaining popularity as a residential roofing option, standing seam metal roofing is highly durable. It is sometimes referred to as “permanent” roofing, as it lasts over fifty years or about twice as long as an asphalt shingle roof.

Stylish and energy efficient, metal roofing is available in a wide range of colors and thicknesses (or gauges), depending on your tastes and budget.

FLASHINGS

Shingle wear is usually evident if you know how to look for it. The same may not be true for the flashings on your roof. Expert roofers in Savannah GA know that leaks are just as likely to result from damaged or improperly installed flashings as they are from damaged and compromised roofing tiles.

The metal coverings that protect seams in your roof, flashings are most commonly found around chimneys, skylights, and dormers. RPI Residential Roofing Savannah can identify flashing damage and will expertly repair or replace compromised flashing if necessary.

ROOF VENTILATION

If you’re like the average homeowner, odds are you spend little to no time thinking about your roof’s ventilation. And why would you, so long as your house is comfortable and there are no leaks in your roof?

That could all change very quickly, though. Professional roofers in Savannah GA know that compromised roof ventilation can cause significant, and in some cases even potentially dangerous, problems. Aside from affecting a home’s comfort and energy efficiency, poor ventilation can cause unhealthy mold and mildew to form in the attic.

RPI Roofing, your experts for residential roofing in Savannah GA, can inspect your roof to ensure its ventilation is sufficient. If necessary, RPI can quickly and expertly install new roof ridge vents to optimize air circulation, keeping your home comfortable and safely mildew and mold-free.
