Roof leaks can be caused by many different factors. Storm damage, hail, falling tree limbs, people walking on your roof, old worn out shingles, cracked and sun damaged shingles are a just a few examples. However, most roof leaks are caused by improper installation or by defective metal flashing. Flashing is found near any roof penetration area such as chimneys, steps, aprons and in valley areas where roof angles converge. It is necessary to inspect your roof for all types of damage. If leaks are not addressed, the structure of your home may be weakened as the building frame continues to erode over time.
Poor installation of roof shingles, which are sometimes nailed incorrectly, may also need to be addressed. If roof shingles are missing, these will need to be replaced.
Clogged gutters are a cause of roofing problems. Water may overflow out of the gutter and leak along the walls, into your home. Also, flue pipes inside of a chimney can cause water to leak if they are not properly aligned.
Continuous Rain Gutters, or Seamless Guttering, is the most popular form of gutters. Almost all residential guttering installed is seamless. Installing seamless gutters protects the beauty of your home and landscaping, as well as preserving your flowerbeds and foundation by directing water flow away from your house. Seamless gutters will help to prevent wood decay and also prevents staining on your siding and brick. An faulty gutter system can lead to big problems such as shifting foundations, damp basements and damaged siding
In addition to copper guttering, we also offer copper home accents. We have a copper smith on staff that can create anything from copper gutter collector heads to chimney caps. Copper finishing will give your home something extra, a distinctive look made with a durable material. We custom form and cut our seamless gutters to precise measurements right on the jobsite to fit your home exactly. If you are looking for a distinctive and classic look for your home, call us to find out what our copper accessories can do for you.
If your attic floor is insulated but the wood beams (joists) are still visible, you probably need more insulation. But even if you can’t see your beams, that’s still no guarantee that you have enough. The best thing to do is measure. Ask us to have one of our Roofing Professionals from Perfection Roofing do a free attic insulation inspection.
Proper attic ventilation extends the life of a roof by minimizing the temperature differential between the attic and the air outside. Proper ventilation will remove heat and moisture from your home. Trapped heat and moisture can raise energy costs, allow ice to build up, and damage your roof. Moisture can come from both outside your home, and inside from items like showers and washing machines. In some cases the condensation can be bad enough to be mistaken for a roof leak.
It is estimated that most homes in North America do not have adequate ventilation. Most people don’t understand the long term effects this can have on their entire house. Proper attic ventilation is important to avoid moisture buildup and aid in temperature control.
1. Premature aging of your roofing system.
2. Damage to your siding, paint, and wallpaper
3. Higher energy costs resulting from warm or cold air exchanging between the attic and the living space.
4. Ice dams caused by warm air in the attic space melting the bottom layer of snow on the roof and refreezing at the gutter. This buildup of ice traps additional melting snow causing it to pressurize and back up under the roofing system and into your home.
5. Mildew and mold growth.
6. Buckling or curling shingles and felt.
Proper attic ventilation allows constant air flow into the attic. This creates of a balance between air intake at your eaves or soffits and air exhaust at the roof’s ridge.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) recommends a minimum of at least 1 square foot of attic ventilation, both intake and exhaust, for every 300 square feet of attic floor space.
Aside from having proper ventilation, it is also a good idea to make sure your attic has sufficient insulation. This will help regulate your home’s internal temperature. Having sufficient ventilation and insulation are vital for keeping your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It is important to make sure any ventilation issues are addressed and corrected in order to eliminate any future problems when you prepare to replace or repair your roof.

This system is especially recommended for applications over an existing substrate where the use of mechanical fasteners is undesirable, or unfeasible. The insulation is installed using hot asphalt, with the membrane fully adhered to the secure insulation. The system may also be installed over insulation that is attached using conventional fastening methods where applicable. It’s also ideal for special configurations such as domes and barrel
The ballasted system presents an easy, economical roofing solution for buildings that can accommodate an average ballast weight of 10 to 12 psf. Because the system is easy to install, it’s ideal of applications where eventual changes in building height or contours are envisioned.
This system presents a lightweight, cost-effective option if you wish to limit the weight load on the building or to reinforce an existing roof. Insulation, when necessary, is mechanically attached to the deck, with the membrane affixed at set intervals using linear attached batten strips to protect against wind uplift.

At the heart of this roofing system is the roofing membrane, which consists of roofing bitumen and multiple reinforcing plies of roofing felt.
Built-up Roofing (or BUR) is the “Old Reliable Standbye” of roofing which can be used on commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. BUR is used on flat or low-sloped roofs and consists of multiple layers of bitumen and ply sheets.
Built-up roofing systems have had a long-standing popularity, due in large part to its success and proven reliability. The number of 20, 30 and 40-year-old BUR roofs still in excellent condition attests to this fact. Specifically, BUR roofs offer:
Roofing bitumen is the primary adhesion/waterproofing agent used between roofing plies. Bitumen arrives at the job site in solid form, but is heated and applied as a liquid. Roofing bitumens may be either a product of petroleum refining (asphalts) or a product of the coal-cooking process (coal tar pitch).
Multiple reinforcing “plies” are asphalt-coated roofing sheets or felts installed in three or more layers to strengthen and stabilize the BUR membrane.
BUR roofing membranes can be protected from solar radiation by embedding gravel in the bitumen, applying a surface coating or applying a granular-surfaced “cap” sheet. Light-colored surfacing materials can be used to reflect heat from the building. In addition, surfacing agents can provide additional fire protection, and the are FR Rated
BUR applied for maximum performance:
It’s critical to get secure bonding of the roofing felts (plies) using bitumen. To achieve this bond the roofing contractor applies thin, uniform moppings of bitumen. This waterproofs the system and ensures proper adhesion for fusing the membrane system together.
The temperature of the bitumen is critical. By heating it to the proper temperature the roofing contractor gets the right viscosity for proper mopping. The contractor heats the bitumen to its EVT or Equiviscous Temperature, the temperature at which it can be most effectively mopped into uniform layers. Each batch of bitumen should be labeled by the supplier with its EVT. Once felts are rolled into place on the heated bitumen applicators pull brooms or squeegees over the felt or use some other method to make sure that its embedded in the bitumen. Typically, membrane ply construction is defined by headlap, endlap, and sidelap.
The application of Built-Up Roofing systems is detailed work, but the professional who pays particular attention to those details such as curbs, walls, flashings or other projections that interrupt the membrane, achieves a quality, efficient, long-lasting product for the building owner.

Roofing systems are vulnerable to a number of hazards, such as storm damage. Nasty storms can deliver hails, heavy winds, and persistent rain. Over time storm damage can erode your roof. Heat from the sun is also a problem, as it causes your roofing material to expand and contract. Human traffic and standard wear and tear will also mar your roof over time. To protect against these dangers, you should regularly inspect your roof for noticeable damage.
The NRCA suggests a Long-term Roof Maintenance Plan to ensure roof system performance is to have a long-term maintenance plan.
