Bailey's Roofing System
Proper ventilation is key to the longevity of any roof.
Heat and moisture is created with everyday activities. This heat and moisture then rises to the attic area . If the attic is not properly ventilated the moisture will be trapped causing damage to the roof. Roof damage that is deemed to be attributed to lack of ventilation voids the shingle manufacturers warranties. |

- Ice dams are a serious headache for home or business owner’s that can be prevented with some simple and relatively inexpensive actions. The cause of this headache is snow on the roof that melts and backs up under the roofing shingles. The thick ridge of ice that has lined your roof or window’s edge has a pool of melted water behind it, hence the term ice dam. If your attic is not properly insulated- or insulated at all - heat that should be keeping your home warm is passing through the roof structure and escaping, melting the snow that is still sitting on your roof. The accumulated water can work its way under roof shingles and into your home leaving behind some nasty, brown water stains or causing significant damage to ceilings, walls and floors. Additionally, the sheer weight of the ice dam alone can cause gutters and downspouts to pull away from the house, bringing the fascia boards with them. Preventing, rather than repairing will save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in roof and interior repairs.

Beware of large Company Pricing
Keep in mind large roofing companies often invest thousands of dollars in advertising costs to gain your business. They then build this into the cost of your project. This is not the only built in cost for homeowners. Many of these companies pay top commissions to salesmen who up sell your project. Most of these guys never put a hammer in there hand and they work from scripted marketing manuals. It is also Important to ask your contractor if he has his own crew or if they subcontract the work. Many times these large companies generate so much work to meet the demand they subcontract the work at a square foot price. Sub Contractors are often referred to as Installers to give the customer the idea that they have an in house installation team. Keep in mind the installer putting on your roof will be making 7% - 10% of the total project cost. Our research has shown large scale roofing and remodeling companies are often 20% to 40% higher than the average roofing company. Cut out the middle man.
