The National Weather Service estimates 10,000 severe storms across the U.S. every summer. From heavy winds and rains to hail and tornadoes, these summer storms can wreak havoc on the exterior of your home, particularly your roof. In today's blog, your favorite Lake of the Ozarks roofing company discusses possible roof damage from summer storms, and offers some ways to prepare your roof for the summer storm season. Summer Storm Roof Damage The majority of homeowners will just experience minor summer storm damage. This can include missing, loose, lifted or damaged roof shingles.

High winds can exacerbate roof defects that are already present, such as blisters, delaminations or neglected termination points. Severe summer storms can also cause flash flooding, which can lead to a fast accumu...

As a new homeowner, there are plenty of things you need to learn about caring for and maintaining your investment. One of the most important aspects of your home for you to understand is the roof, and this is the one area that many new homeowners overlook. Today's blog from your favorite Lake of the Ozarks roofing company offers some roofing information that is beneficial for new homeowners to know. 1. Your Roof Can Affect Your Energy Costs. When your roof is in good shape, you will experience lower energy costs. If your roof has a leak or is not properly ventilated, heat or cool air, depending on the time of the year can escape, causing your heater or AC to work harder. When those appliances are working harder, they use more energy, which means a higher utility bill for you. A well-maintained roof can save you money in the long run on both utilities and roof repair costs. 2. Clogged Gutters Can Damage Your Roof.  Home maintenance, such as gutter cleaning, can easily get...

Before you choose a contractor to handle your Lake of the Ozarks roofing needs, it's important you do your research. In today's blog, your Lake of the Ozarks roofing company addresses two of the biggest misconceptions about roofing contractors. This knowledge will help you to make an informed decision and rule out some contractors from the beginning. 1. Choosing the Contractor with the Lowest Price Saves You Money.  When it comes to making purchases, price is always top of mind for people. It's important to realize though, that with a lower price often comes a lower quality. Applying this principle when hiring a roofing contractor is important. Be sure to ask for estimates from multiple contractors. If an estimate comes in lower than the others, you need to ask yourself what's being left out or what shortcuts are being taken to make this quote lower than the others. While the upfront costs may be cheaper to choose contractor A over contractor B, the quality of ...

In the age of DIY-ers, everything thinks they can google a few things and get it all accomplished on their own. However, some things are better left to the professionals. In today's blog, your Lake of the Ozarks roofing experts discuss some of the common mistakes people make when it comes to roofing. Mistake #1: Power Washing Your Roof Keeping your roof clean is an important part of roof maintenance. It's important to keep your roof free of debris, algae, moss, etc., as these things can cause damage to your roof. Unfortunately, power washing isn't the best way to accomplish that. Too high of a water pressure can actually cause damage to your roof, forcing water up under the shingles that can then make its way into your home. Mistake #2: Walking on Your Roof  Walking on your roof is an easy way to damage your roof. Lake of the Ozarks roofing professionals know how to properly work on your roof without causing damage, but the average Joe usually does not. Not onl...

Your gutters and downspouts are an important and underappreciated part of your roof at the Lake of the Ozarks . Overflowing gutters can lead to more problems than one. If you're gutters aren't working properly, water damage could occur both on the exterior and the interior of your home. Keep reading to learn about some of the common reasons rain gutters overflow, and what you can do to avoid that from happening. 1. Improperly Installed or Damaged Gutters.  While you can't control the weather and avoid heavy rains altogether, you do have some control over what happens to that water once it rains down on your home. You can do so by making sure you have high-quality gutters that are installed properly. They need to be at the correct slant to be able to drain off excess water and lead it away from your home.

Your roof is a very important part of your home, and therefore, it's important that you understand how it works. Just like with any other subject, there are a lot of myths floating around about roofs. Today, your Lake of the Ozarks roofing company addresses several of these common roofing myths. Myth #1 - You Don't Have to Remove Your Old Roof When Replacing It.  One of the most common roofing myths out there is that you can just place your new shingles right on top of the old ones. While it seems like an easier and less expensive solution, it'll end up costing you more in the long run. By not removing the old shingles, you could be just covering up problem areas that need to be addressed. There could be damage to more than just the old shingles. Myth #2 - Metal Roofing is Noisy.  Many people believe that metal roofing is extremely noisy when precipitation hits it. This is actually not true. In fact, metal roofing is actually much quieter when compared to other...

Whether you're in need of roof repairs or an entire re-roof, it's important that you hire the right company for the job! Be thorough in interviewing prospective companies to work with on this investment. Before agreeing to work with a roofing contractor at the Lake of the Ozarks , be sure to ask these questions: 1. Do You Offer Free Estimates?  Before getting a new roof, you're going to want an assessment of the roof's current condition.

Are You Licensed and Insured?  While the requirements may differ, every state requires that contractors be licensed.

Proper roof ventilation is important for not only personal comfort within the home, but also for the life expectancy of your Lake of the Ozarks roof . The performance of the heating and air conditioning system can also be affected by a lack of ventilation. Improper ventilation can lead to wood rot, clumping insulation and mold in your attic, as well as severe roof damage. Signs Your Roof Isn't Properly Ventilated  1. An Excessively Hot Attic.  Excess heat that builds up in the attic with nowhere to go can create extreme temperatures in the summer months. (You may also notice your air conditioner working much harder.) This heat could actually scorch shingles and roofing material, leading to the need for premature replacement. If you're attic is too hot for you to stand, you might consider having a professional roofer at the Lake the Ozarks come inspect your roof for any issues. 2. Matted or Flattened Insulation.  When excessive moisture starts to col...
