Protecting Your World With the No-Nail Guarantee
2022-09-21T14:42:57.05Z
Klaus Roofing Systems
From installation to clean-up, we think about how nails impact the roof and even ensure they are clear from the yard after the project is complete. We also offer a No-Nail guarantee, promising $1 for every one found after we leave - up to $100.
<p>From start to finish, Klaus Roofing Systems knows nails matter. That is why we choose high-quality roofing materials and are careful about how and where we install them. We also ensure your yard is nail-free and safe when we clean up after a new roof installation or repair project.</p>
<h2>Thorough, magnetized clean-up.</h2>
<p>When a storm hits, thousands of nails are what keep shingles attached to the roof. When a roof repair or replacement is completed, those nails can become loose and fall in the yard, which can injure family, guests, and pets. Plus, nails can poke holes in car tires and even launch and hurt someone if caught in a lawnmower.</p>
<p>That is why our roofers use powerful magnetic sweepers to collect loose nails throughout the property after we complete your services. And we are so confident in our cleanup process that we even offer a No-Nail Guarantee, promising you $1 for every one found once we leave, up to $100.</p>
<h2>Nails matter with The Klaus Roofing Way</h2>
<p>Many decisions go into building a durable, lasting roof. And with The Klaus Roofing Way, we guarantee quality at every layer of your roof repair or replacement. One of the most critical components of your roof is the nails. These hold your system together during windy storms, heavy rainfall, and freezing snow. That is why we don't use just anything to secure your roof.</p>
<h3>Here's how we create a roof built to last with better nails:</h3>
<ul class="checks">
<li><strong>Ring shank roofing nails:</strong> These are a cross between a nail and a screw, so you won't have to worry about high winds knocking them loose. Other roofers use smooth shank roofing nails, which pull out easier.</li>
<li><strong>Six nails per shingle:</strong> Unlike other roofing contractors who use four nails per shingle, we use six - that’s 50% more nails! Reinforced asphalt shingles: While other shingles have a thin line indicating the nailing zone, we install reinforced shingles with a large nailing zone, so nails won't rip through them.</li>
<li><strong>Avoiding common nailing mistakes:</strong> We avoid mistakes like installing nails at an angle, low-nailing, which can create leaks in the finished roof and is visible after the roof is installed, and high-nailing that tears through the shingle and has no holding power.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Quality protection at every layer</h2>
<p>Whether you need a roof replacement or repairs, Klaus Roofing Systems adheres to the highest standards to ensure your system provides durable, lasting protection. We know every component matters when creating a quality system, especially the nails. Choosing the best nails keeps your system secure much longer.</p>
<p>Plus, we go the extra mile to remove every nail that flies into the yard after the project is complete by combing through your property with powerful magnetic sweepers. And we are so sure that we will leave your home better than we found it that we even offer a No-Nail Guarantee, promising $1 for every nail you find after clean-up, up to $100.</p>

How To Tell Whether To Repair Or Replace Your Roof
2022-01-28T00:00:00.05Z

Deciding whether you need to replace or repair your roof is essential. Let Klaus Roofing Systems' contractors assist in making the perfect choice for any situation. Schedule a free estimate today!
<div class="center"><img src=" https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2721/completed_roof_24 (2).jpg" alt="Homeowner's roof" width="900" height="600" />
<p>Roofs are essential for a house. Deciding between replacement or repair should be an easy choice.</p>
</div>
<p>Whether old or new, every house will need some sort of roof repair or replacement at some point in time. Sometimes repairs are a good option for minor damage, but how do we know when a roof is repairable? How do we know if a roof needs to be replaced? Today we will discuss when a roof can be repaired and when it should be replaced.</p>
<h2>SIGNS A HOMEOWNER should SEEK HELP WITH THEIR ROOF</h2>
<div class="breakout right border"><img src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2721/krs_june_2019_175_no_logos (1).jpg" alt="Roofing contractor at work" width="600" height="400" loading="”lazy”" />
<p>Klaus Roofing Systems is determined to repair or replace any roof that needs to be fixed or updated.</p>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Existing roof is old</li>
<li>Good roof, but some details are failing and need repairs</li>
<li>Certain geographical areas that are susceptible to hurricanes, tornados, and hail storms may increase chances of roof damage</li>
<li>Improper skylight or flashing installation lead to leaks or damage</li>
<li>Homeowner doesn’t know if there’s a problem, but still wants someone to inspect their roof for possible damage</li>
</ul>
<p>Even problems that can be identified and fixed quickly, such as rotted roof decking, water spots on the interior ceiling, and curling shingles, can become a hassle if left untreated. As mentioned above, we know our roof will need repairs or a replacement at some point and if caught early enough, a repair can extend the roof’s lifespan. However, in other cases a replacement may be the best option if the original problem was not attended to quickly enough. So, which one do we choose?</p>
<h2>WHY DO HOMEOWNERS ASK FOR ROOF REPAIRS?</h2>
<ul>
<li>The price of a roof repair is typically cheaper than a replacement</li>
<li>House is a rental, and the owner is trying to keep expenses to a minimum</li>
<li>Homeowner wants to sell the house and does not want to invest in a new roof</li>
<li>Damage is not bad enough for a replacement, but they would like to be proactive and get a repair done to prevent further deterioration</li>
</ul>
<p>Periodic roof maintenance as needed can extend the life of a roof since the work being done will protect the house from further damage. If there is damage to the roof that needs immediate attention, a repair would be the quickest and simplest way to take care of the problem temporarily. Or, if a few shingles are missing there may be no need to spend more money to pay for a new roof.</p>
<p>The sooner a roof is fixed, the cheaper the job will be. The damage could worsen by waiting to acknowledge the problem, causing the roof to deteriorate. Of course, every roof will eventually need to be replaced, but contacting a roofing contractor for an inspection and maintenance could save time and money!</p>
<h2>HOW ROOF REPAIRS PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE</h2>
<p>If a roof needs a minor fix, a repair may be the best option. However, in many cases a roof repair acts as a Band-Aid and only provides a temporary solution. Band-Aids don’t last forever, and the damage that’s been done won’t heal on its own.</p>
<h2>SIGNS A HOMEOWNER NEEDs TO REPLACE THEIR ROOF</h2>
<div class="breakout right border"><img src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2721/35_roofing_set_19_before (1).jpg" alt="Distorted spots on roof" width="600" height="400" loading="”lazy”" />
<p>These distorted/discolored spots on this roof are one of many signs that signal towards a replacement.</p>
</div>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Water is leaking into the home and creating water stains on interior walls/ceilings</li>
<li>There are signs of wood rot and mold, which can further compromise the integrity of the roof and create an unhealthy environment in the home</li>
<li>The roof is beyond it’s expected service life (typically around 20 years or older)</li>
<li>The shingles on the roof are discolored, missing, curled, or look worn down</li>
<li>Shingles are broken, torn, loose, buckling, cracked, or missing</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<h2>WHY ARE ROOF REPLACEMENTS NECESSARY?</h2>
<div class="breakout right border"><img src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2721/41_roofing_set_22_before (1).jpg" alt="A damaged roof" width="600" height="400" loading="”lazy”" />
<p>Sometimes a roof's damage is too severe and replacing will be a permanent solution.</p>
</div>
<p>Sometimes roofs have sustained severe damage from storms, wood rot, and water intrusion. At this point, a roof replacement would be the best option. A full roof replacement can resolve all these issues, unlike repairs that serve as a temporary patch and can become more expensive in the future. Installing a complete new roofing system eliminates such problems.</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Updating an old roof</strong></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>New roofs can protect homes from leaks, wind, storms, and other issues. Roofs that are older than 20 years are more susceptible to damage.</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fixing severe damage</strong></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>It is more cost-efficient to replace the entire roof system when there is severe damage, though for minor issues a roof repair may be a good option.</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Repairing storm damage</strong></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>After a severe storm, it is best to evaluate the condition of the roof with an inspection performed by a qualified roofing contractor.</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Adding value to the home</strong></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Renovations or adding a new roof to the property can add value and security to any home!</p>
<p>Ideally, you want to replace a roof before it starts leaking or failing. Every one to two years, contact a roofing specialist to inspect your roof, ensuring maximum protection for your home. These time frames are suggestions and depend on the area you live in and the weather your roof is exposed to. Locations that see frequent storms with severe wind will need to be inspected more often than roofs in more moderate climates.</p>

When storms come, our homes and roofs protect us--but not always without taking a bit of damage. Know what to watch out for, and learn a bit about proper roofing maintenance with Klaus Roofing Systems!

<p>Harsh weather can rough up your roofing material, leading to damage that over time will require repair or replacement.</p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.klausroofingsystems.com/roofing-services.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">roof</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, along with the other structural aspects of the home, protects us from weather and the outdoors by keeping us sheltered, dry, and warm. However, when the integrity of the roofing becomes compromised, it can no longer do its job to the best of its ability. This is why you should be aware of the signs of storm damage, so you can be quickly made aware of potentially serious issues with your roofing before they become costly and inconvenient fixes. </span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Common Signs of Storm Damage</span></h2>
<div class="breakout right border bg"><img title="Damaged Shingles" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/StormDamageKRSBlog2_300xCompressed.jpg" alt="Storm damaged shingles" width="300" height="250" />
<p>Storms can throw a variety of challenges at your roof and causing various types of damage.</p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First thing’s first, it’s important to know the age of your roof. Depending on how long you’ve lived in the home, you may have been the one to purchase the last roof, or oversaw its last repairs. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A typical asphalt roof has a lifespan of 25 to 30 years when properly maintained with inspections and repairs as needed. This helps ensure that there aren’t any issues that could compromise the integrity of your roofing material. It’s always best to have a professional inspect the roof, but there are some issues that homeowners can spot from the ground, or within the attic space. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, if you’ve experienced a rough storm recently, or you’re simply concerned that there may be an issue with your roof that you’ve previously overlooked, here are some common indicators that it’s time to meet with a professional about the state of your roof: </span></p>
<h3>Lifted or buckling shingles</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When looking up from the ground, there are usually large parts of the roof that are visible, and even to the untrained eye, cracked and buckling shingles tend to stick out like a sore thumb. While the shingles are only one layer of the protection that your roof provides, loose, curling and cracked shingles allow moisture under the roofing material, leading to potential mold and water problems down the line. Lifted or buckling shingles can be caused by high winds and impact damage, so be sure to take a look after major storms.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3>Visible water infiltration</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’ve noticed water stains on your ceilings, or you’ve been in the attic to find a musty odor and damp insulation, it’s time to have your roof inspected. Where moisture gathers, pests, mold, mildew, and wood rot are sure to follow, leading to potential health dangers and money headaches that we could all do without. The area you live in most likely experiences lots of heavy rain or snow if water has worked its way to visible areas of the house from the roofing, so it may benefit you to schedule inspections during the spring and wetter times of the year. </span></li>
</ul>
<h3>Loose debris on the roof</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Often during harsh storms, debris tends to get picked up and carried by the wind until it ends up snagged on something, or simply dropped by the gust in a new location. Sometimes, that means that sticks and branches can end up on the roof of the home, posing a potential threat to the roofing material. Larger debris can most certainly puncture shingles, or put a strain on roofing supports. </span></li>
</ul>
<h3>Missing or hail damaged shingles</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hail can be a devastating force, with the largest hailstone ever recorded coming in at 8 inches. Though it’s rare to see such large hailstones, they can be quite big and can pose a definite threat to people, animals, and structures. Hail is just ice, often decent-sized clumps of ice, falling from the sky like rain, which means that they can gather a significant amount of force before slamming into your shingles--sometimes even cracking them in half, or ripping them off completely. </span></li>
</ul>
<h3>Ice dams</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Found during the winter, ice dams form when snow and ice from the peak of the roof melts and flows down the slope, only to encounter an area much cooler and less insulated, allowing the ice to reform around the edge of the roof. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ice dams are a serious issue for your roof because the ice can start to freeze and thaw, working its way beneath the shingles, or become so heavy that the ice pushes against the gutters and eventually forces them away from the roofline. Come spring, water issues and battered shingles, or even a potential gutter repair could be quite costly.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3>Damage to roof supports and accents</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are many different styles of roofing, some with more embellishment and detail than others. If you have supports and accents around your roof, you might notice some damage after harsh storms, which could indicate further issues that you might not be able to see. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Different types of storms will do different types of damage, so it can be helpful to know what you’re looking for. Depending on the types of storms you’re used to experiencing in your area, the issues you encounter are likely quite common and a roofing professional will easily spot and diagnose the extent of the problem.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">When To Repair And When To Replace</span></h2>
<div class="breakout right border bg"><img title="Roof Repair" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/StormDamageKRSBlog1_300xCompressed.jpg" alt="Roof Replacement" width="300" height="250" />
<p>How do you know when to repair and when to replace?</p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two categories that roofing issues typically tend to fall under:</span><strong> Major </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><strong>Minor</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><strong>Minor </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">damage to the roofing material will typically constitute some light repairs, usually ones that fall under the umbrella of your insurance. Hail damage or a few cracked or missing shingles won’t necessitate a full roof replacement and would fall under the category of </span><strong>minor </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">damages along with issues such as: </span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Cracked vent booting</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Missing cap shingles</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Nail pops</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Sections of unsealed shingles</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>And more</strong><strong><br /></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Major</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> damage, however, will need a more aggressive approach. There are other factors besides the extent of storm damage to the roof as well, such as:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>If the roof has multiple layers</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Lichen or moss infestations</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>If the roof is over 10 years old</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Extreme leakage and water intrusion</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>And more</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scheduling a roofing inspection can do a lot to help avoid issues from developing, helping you to avoid frequent, costly repairs. It’s recommended that after a heavy storm, a roofing contractor is called out to check on the roof. That way, even if damage has been done, there may be a way to lessen the number of issues you’ll experience in the aftermath. Water moves quickly, and mold and mildew grow almost just as fast, so it’s important to be as aware as possible of the condition of your roof.</span></p>

Why Roof Inspections Are Important

The roof above your head is a vital part of your home's structure. Keeping up with regular inspections and maintence can offer you and your home a wealth of benefits! Learn more today!
<div class="center breakout border bg" style="width: 640px; max-width: 640px;"><img title="Newly Replaced Roofing" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/ImportantRoofInspectionsHeader_600xCompressed.jpg" alt="New Roofing Material" width="600" height="400" /><br />
<p>Regular roof inspections can extend the expected lifespan of your roofing material!</p>
</div>
<p>The importance of roof inspections cannot be understated. As a homeowner, the roof over your head is what protects you and your family from the elements.</p>
<p>There are many different ways that a roof can be damaged or compromised. Sometimes, this damage can be seen from the ground outside. Missing shingles, or sections that are lifting, can be spotted by a homeowner without the need to clamber around on the roof. However, not all damage will be so visible. For the health of your roof, and your peace of mind, a professional roofing contractor should perform a roof inspection annually.</p>
<h2>What To Expect From A Roof Inspection</h2>
<p>When reaching out to a roofing contractor for an inspection, there are several things that you should expect. A professional roofer will check for leaks and obvious damage to the shingles, but there are many other areas a quality roofing contractor will look at during a roof inspection.</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Attic Inspection:</strong> The composition of your roof is far more than just the shingles, and as such, a professional roofer will spend time checking out the attic and support structures of your roof. An inspection will be done for sagging or rotting wood, the condition of the soffit, fascia and flashing. If your home has a masonry chimney, this is the time to have it checked as well--for cracks, crumbling mortar, spalling brick and deteriorating chimney caps. The inspector will also likely check on the attic vents, as improper venting practices can lead to moisture and mold within the attic.</li>
<li><strong>Material Inspection:</strong> Once on the roof, a professional roofer will check on the condition of the roofing material itself. A roofing contractor will look for missing, flapping, curling, cracking or broken shingles as well as shingle granules collecting in the gutter systems. Clogging gutters, loose and lifting shingles and deteriorating flashing can all lead to serious water damage issues if not quickly caught and fixed.</li>
<li><strong>Workmanship Inspection:</strong> During this time, the professional roof inspector will check on the installation of the roofing material itself, and any subsequent repairs that have been done to the roof previously.</li>
<li><strong>Roofing Analysis:</strong> There are several issues that commonly befall roofs. These include:</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Loose, broken or missing roofing material.</li>
<li>Blistered, curled or split shingles.</li>
<li>Improper venting and ventilation system installation.</li>
<li>Sagging roof planes.</li>
<li>Loose, missing or corroded roof flashing.</li>
<li>Depressions near roofing vents.</li>
<li>Broken, deteriorated rubber vent booting.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>At the end of the full inspection, your roofing contractor will provide you with a full workup of the condition of the roof and any work that is needed. With this step-by-step write up, you and your contractor will be able to decide the best possible course of action, together.</p>
<div class="breakout right border bg"><img title="Roof Inspection" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/ImportantRoofInspections1_300xCompressed.jpg" alt="Roof maintence" />
<p>Roofing inspections cover more than just the roofing material, but the entire structure of the roof itself, including the attic.</p>
</div>
<h2>What Roof Inspections Do For You</h2>
<p>Roof inspections have numerous benefits. While it may be easy to forget about the condition of your roof until an issue makes itself known, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection before a serious issue arises.</p>
<p>With frequent roof inspections, you can prolong the health and lifespan of your roof by catching small issues like small leaks, lifted shingles, and deteriorating flashing before they can form into serious problems later down the line. Roof inspections save you more money than they cost, in the long run.</p>
<p>Some warning signs and small issues to keep an eye out for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Water stains on the ceilings or walls.</li>
<li>Missing shingles.</li>
<li>Cracked, curling or damaged shingles.</li>
<li>Water spots on the roof decking, visible from within the attic.</li>
</ul>
<p>Catching a leak early can prevent a whole host of very costly and potentially devastating issues from developing later on down the line. Water is insidious, and it doesn’t take long to wear away at natural materials like wood and soak into insulation, walls and precious items. Mold issues can pop up seemingly out of nowhere, and put an entire family at risk. Walls and supports can be weakened, causing a structural integrity risk as the water rots the wood and draws in pests.</p>
<p>In short, it’s best to give your roof the professional treatment so that it can keep doing it’s job of sheltering you and your family to the best of its ability!</p>

What Causes Roof Leaks & How To Fix Them

Here at Klaus Roofing Systems we know the stress that comes along with a nasty roof leak. If you've been struggling with a deteriorating roof, but can't find the cause, Klaus Roofing Systems is here to help!
<div class="center breakout border bg" style="width: 640px; max-width: 640px;"><img title="Roof Leaks" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/RoofLeaksBlogHeader_600xCompressed.jpg" alt="Bad Roof" width="600" height="400" /><br />
<p>Roof leaks can be stressful, especially when it's unclear what caused it. Here's a list of the most common causes of roof leaks!</p>
</div>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The roof of your home shelters you from debris, beating sun and driving wind and rain, but it is sadly not invulnerable.When a roof leak occurs, it can be a stressful event. Depending on how long the leak has gone on without attention, where the leak is located, and what caused it, there could be subsequent damage. Short of an entire replacement, finding the origin of the issue is essential to a proper </span><a href="https://www.klausroofingsystems.com/roof-repair.html"><span>roof leak repair</span></a><span>. </span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>How Weather, Age, and Roofing Material Play a Role</span></h2>
<div class="breakout right border bg"><img title="Old Roof" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/RoofIncreasePropertyValueBlog1_300xCompressed.jpg" alt="Older Roof" />
<p>An older roof is more vulnerable, and susceptible to leaks and damage.</p>
</div>
<p dir="ltr"><span>There are many factors that can contribute to a leaking roof. Weather patterns in the area, the age of the roofing material itself, and the material that’s been chosen, can all play a role in the likelihood of a leak. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Depending on the area that you live in, you could experience harsh weather with some regularity. Driving rain, hail, and even the constant baking of the sun can all have adverse affects on roofing materials. When looking into roofing materials, it’s recommended that you also research their durability against common weather patterns in your region. If the roof is older, it will naturally be weaker and less able to resist the damage of the elements, increasing the risk of a potential leak. </span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Common Causes Of Roof Leaks & How They Can Be Fixed</span></h2>
<h3>Cracked Flashing</h3>
<p>Flashing is the thin metal plating that can be seen around chimneys, roof vents. When installed, these pieces of flashing are sealed to create a waterproof barrier around the more vulnerable areas of roofing, such as vents and chimneys. Over time, this seal can deteriorate, and harsh weather conditions can wear down the flashing, allowing it to weaken over time, resulting in pesky roof leaks. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The solution:</strong><span> A professional should be called out to replace the flashing. The old shingles and flashing will have to be pried up and removed, the roof decking should be checked thoroughly for any water damage, including mold and mildew growth, weakness and rot. The old flashing and shingles will be tossed out, replaced with new, updated materials. </span></p>
<h3>Broken Shingles</h3>
<p>Shingles, be they Asphalt, Composite or Tile are constantly exposed to the elements. Harsh rain, wind, and storm debris can all play a part in the deterioration of the shingles. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The solution:</strong><span> If there are loose, cracking, peeling or broken shingles causing one or multiple roof leaks, a professional should be called out for a proper roof inspection and roof leak repair. Sections of broken down shingles will be removed, the decking and surrounding areas inspected for water damage, rot, and potential pests before new shingles are installed. </span></p>
<h3>Cracked Vent Booting</h3>
<p>Similar to flashing, vent boots are thick rubber fittings that are placed around roof vents to aid in the sealing process. Over time, with exposure to the elements and constant sun, the boot may become weak and crack over time. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The solution:</strong><span> When this happens, a roof repair contractor should be called to inspect and replace the damaged boot and affected shingles, flashing and the old boot. The shingles, flashing and boot will be removed, the area inspected, and once cleared of damage or risk, a new boot will be installed before new flashing is added, and the new shingles are laid overtop. </span></p>
<h3>Clogged Gutters</h3>
<p>Perhaps the easiest issue to fix, clogged gutters can have a profoundly nasty effect on your roof. When the gutters become blocked and water backs up, it tends to pool on the low areas of the roof when the gutter system is no longer available. Sitting pools of water have all the more potential to work their way through the roofing material and cause a seriously costly roof leak repair. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The solution:</strong><span> The gutters can be cleaned by hand, but, as there’s likely been significant pooling on the roof, a professional is needed to survey and repair the damage. There are options that your gutter and roofing contractor can discuss with you at this time, such as gutter guards, or adjusting the slope of the gutter system, or even the roof itself. </span></p>
<h3>Improperly Installed Skylights</h3>
<p>Skylights are a wonderful idea in theory, and when done well, they can give you several years of lovely natural light--but seals don’t hold forever, and eventually, leaks are almost inevitable. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The solution:</strong><span> With the help of a roof repair contractor, you can decide whether it’s better to repair the seal, replace the window, or remove it all together. Skylights are a very attractive feature, but can become a bit of a nuisance with failing seals and the difficulty of keeping them clean. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Of course, there are many other potential causes of roof leaks, such as excessive condensation, ice dam build-ups, improperly sealed roof valleys and more, but the above roof leaks are the most common to look out for. No matter the issue, a roof repair contractor will be able to perform a proper roof inspection and find the right solution for the problem. </span></p>

5 Signs That Your Roof Needs To Be Replaced
2021-03-25T00:00:00.05Z
Shannon Brelsford
The roof over your head is an important part of the comfort and saftey of your home, which is why it's essential to keep it in good condition and to be aware of when repairs or a replacement is needed. The experts here at Kalus Roofing Systems have 5 helpful tips to guide you!
<div class="center breakout border bg" style="width: 640px; max-width: 640px;"><img title="Bad Roofing" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/KRS5signsblogHeader_600xCompressed.jpg" alt="Roof needing replacement." width="600" height="400" /><br />
<p>Our roofs provide shelter from the harsh elements of the outdoors, keeping us safe and dry. It's essential to keep up on proper roof maintence, or if needed, replacement.</p>
</div>
<p dir="ltr"><span>There are few things that inspire comfort and safety, one of them being a roof over your head, keeping the structure you call home safe, warm and dry through the ravages of the outdoors. When our roof becomes worn down and vulnerable to cracks, dents, gaps, leaks, and other damage, it quickly becomes a living hazard.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This is why it’s so important to keep up on roof repairs and replacement in order to keep your roof and peace of mind in good health. </span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>How Can You Tell It’s Time To Replace Your Roof?</span></h2>
<div class="breakout right border bg"><img title="Loose Shingles" src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/cms_images/2623/KRS5signsblog1_300xCompressed.jpg" alt="Falling Shingles" />
<p>Curling, cracking, loose and falling shingles are a sign of deterioration and could indicate the need for a full replacement.</p>
</div>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Not sure how to tell if your roof needs a replacement? Although </span><a href="https://www.klausroofingsystems.com/roof-replacement.html"><span>roof replacement</span></a><span> should be your last option after exploring possible repairs, there are some issues that are too severe and complicated for a quick fix. Here are five signs your roof will show when it’s time for a replacement: </span></p>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Check the attic</strong><span>--Contrary to popular belief, the first place to check for roof damage is actually within the home’s attic. Head up with a flash light and take a good look at the beams and boards of your roof. Keep an eye out for shafts of sunlight falling through gaps in the roof material, as well as areas of wet wood or mold growth that could indicate a leak and potential need for roof replacement. </span></p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Home improvement records</strong><span>--When investing in a roof repair or replacement project, it can be helpful to check work records of the home to see when the roof was last worked on. The typical lifespan for an asphalt roof is roughly 20-25 years, but that projected lifespan goes down about 5 years with each layer of shingles added to the roof. By checking the records you can get a better idea of how long its been since repairs or a roof replacement were needed, and therefore how long it might be before they’re needed again. </span></p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Take a closer look</strong><span>--If possible, it’s always a good idea to take a good look at the shingles themselves. A roof in good repair will have smooth shingles with no ridges, cracks or peeling sections. If there are shingles curling and lifting or cracking and falling away, the roof is in urgent need of repair. Wind, snow, ice and impacts from storms can all have seriously damaging effects on roofing material, sometimes necessitating a roof replacement, so remember to keep an eye out after rough weather. A professional should be called to inspect the roofing as it can be dangerous to be walking about on a roof, especially if there could be damage. These checkups should take place at least once a year if not once a season. Catching any small issues early on can greatly increase the lifespan of your roofing material. </span></p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Inspect roof flashing</strong><span>--Flashing around vents, skylights and chimneys should also be checked periodically, much like the shingles themselves. Over time, the flashing can be just as worn down by the ravages of the elements as the roofing material and be left with cracks, gaps and broken sections that can allow water and pests into the structure of the roof and subsequently into the home. Before you climb out on the roof however, remember that it could be dangerous to be trying to get a closer look around the flashing. A professional with the proper training and expertise should be called, as they will be able to spot even small cracks and gaps that might be otherwise missed. </span></p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Keep an eye out for green</strong><span>--Moss and small plants can often begin to grow on roofs when they are in poor condition. This is especially likely to happen if the roof is under overhanging trees and catches seeds and other debris. As time goes on, the roof becomes something of a fertile ground, allowing for moss, small saplings and various plants to grow on the roofing material. Obviously this isn’t very good for your home, since it causes a significant amount of roof damage as plants carry water and water mixed with building materials leads to costly repairs.

How to Choose a Shingle Color

Tips on choosing a color for the shingles on your next roof replacement.
<p>Your roof is a significant visible part of your home. You don't want to be unhappy with the look of your new roof replacement.</p>
<p>Whether you're putting a photo of your house on your next holiday card, driving up every day, or inviting neighbors over, you want to be proud of your home. And, of course, when it comes time to sell, you want your roof to look attractive and in good shape.</p>
<p><strong>Don't agonize over the color of the shingles on your next roof replacement. </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>White exteriors? You're in luck. Any roofing color works with a home with a white clapboard or siding. You can focus on your personal tastes, style of home, and accessory color (the color of the front door of shutters).</li>
<li>Light grey exteriors are also versatile: consider blue, black, grey and green shingles.</li>
<li>Black, grey, and green shingles are appealing on most homes, including light-colored, grey, red, and log houses. </li>
<li>A brown roof will complement a red, white or beige exterior home as well as a log house.</li>
<li>Patterned exteriors, such as homes with multi-colored brick or stone veneers, can benefit from more monotoned shingles.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The neighborhood:</span> Take into account other homes nearby and your natural surroundings. You can choose to harmonize with the neighborhood or stand out.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Region and Climate</span>: Lighter shingles in southern regions may help keep your home cooler by reflecting heat and darker shingle colors may help retain heat. If local environmental codes require certain colors, your local roofing specialist from Klaus Roofing Systems can help you choose an appropriate shingle color.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Style Preferences</span>: Of course, your personal preference is an important factor as well as the style of your home (contemporary, rustic, antique) when selecting the color of your new roof replacement.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Color Choice:</span> A roof replacement adds value to your home in the form of added protection against the elements and curb appeal, and the color you choose can boost its curb appeal even further. Klaus Roofing Systems roofing shingles come in an appealing array of colors while also offering durability and high performance. </p>
