Halloween is here, and the only scare anyone wants is at the front door, not in the attic. Fall in Orange County is usually the calm before the rain, which makes it a good time to plan roof work while the weather is still dry.
The team recently finished the shingle roof replacement in Mission Viejo shown above. Here are the tricks an older roof can play, and what a new one looks like.
The Tricks a Roof Can Play
1. Cracked or Missing Shingles and Tile
Wind and summer heat can loosen shingles and crack tile. A missing piece leaves the layer underneath exposed to the first storm.
2. Worn Underlayment
On older tile roofs, the tiles can look fine while the underlayment beneath them has dried out. That layer is what actually keeps the water out.
3. Pipe Vents and Flashing
The seals around pipe vents and flashing dry out over time. These are some of the most common spots where leaks start.
4. Debris in the Valleys
Leaves and debris collect in roof valleys and hold water against the roof. Over time that wears the roof down faster.
What a Treat Looks Like
On the Mission Viejo job, the team took the old roof off down to the decking, replaced damaged plywood where needed, and installed new synthetic underlayment. Then we finished it with architectural shingles, new pipe vents and ridge vents.
Every roof replacement we install is backed by the Fox Five Guarantee.
Get Ahead of the Rain
The best time to replace a roof is before the first big storm, not during it. If your roof is getting older or you have noticed any of the signs above, now is a good time to schedule an estimate.
We will go over your options and give you a clear price, so you can plan the work before the rain comes.
