Inspection
Roofs will worsen over time, and the best way to stop further damage is to check on them regularly. A basic inspection will check for physical signs of wear in the membrane, fascias, chimney and skylight flashings, soffits, and gutters. We also check the interior of your residential property for any water breaches in the ceiling and walls. A report is then provided with the next course of action.
Installation
We install all types of residential roofing systems that suit your house design and tastes. Even for those unsure of the type of roof they want, our expert advice will ensure your house gets the right roof with adequate ventilation and ice shields. Our team is experienced in designing and installing new, quality roofs safely and on schedule.
Repair
While many home roof repairs occur due to routine inspections, some occur as emergencies. Most emergencies happen because of bad weather, so we work quickly and efficiently to make sure you don’t have to wait. Irrespective of whether you think the damage that needs repair is minor or major, a roof, especially if it has a steep pitch, should be handled by a professional roofer.
Replacement
Since the roof takes most of the damage from the weather, it stands to reason that the building will likely outlive the roof, necessitating the need to replace it. A replacement can be modeled after the previous roofing system or designed entirely from scratch. If the paperwork and plans for the old roof are still in good shape, replacing a roof on a house will go smoothly.
Popular West Covina Residential Roofing Systems
Single-ply membrane
This roofing system consists of single sheets of rubber or synthetic material mechanically attached, chemically adhered, or fastened to the substrate through gravel and ballast. Materials that are used in single-ply membranes are PVC (polyvinyl chloride), EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) and TPO (thermo-plastic olefin).
Two-ply membrane
In this roofing system, two membranes are bonded together to form a watertight surface. Modified bitumen is the most popular two-ply system, where a combination of asphalt sheets in rubber form of different thicknesses is strengthened using fiberglass or a polymer such as polyester.
Mechanically Attached Assembly (MAA):
Roofs such as tile, slate, shingles, and shakes are mechanically fastened to the structural deck using nails and wires that are galvanized to prevent corrosion.
Residential Roof Designs
There are three major roof designs, which can stand on their own or be brought together depending on the home design:
Gable Roof
This is the easiest roof to erect and therefore the most common. It consists of two sloping sides that converge triangularly to form a ridge. There are also many different kinds of gable, with three common styles: the front gable, where the house’s main entrance is on the front-facing gable with the slopes on either side of the entrance; the side gable, where the entrance is on one side of the two sloping sides; and the cross gable, where the house is angled and therefore the gables of the many-sided structure meet at 90-degree angles.
Hip Roof
It has slopes on all sides that meet at the top to form a ridge (rectangular structure) or a peak (square structure). There are three types of hip roofs: a) A general hip is made of four sloping sides, of which two are the same size on opposite sides. b) A cross-hipped roof with a valley formed where the roof of an angled or L-shaped building meets; and c) a half-hipped roof with a small gable.
Flat Roof
Residential houses with flat roofs have low pitches, whose purpose is to facilitate drainage. Such homes have no attics, but the flat roof can function as an outdoor space. Most flat roofs are chosen as a design concept, but they can be less costly as they don’t use much material compared to the other roof designs.
