J.D. Owen’s Roofing is best known as one of the greater Charleston area’s few ‘Tear-Off and Replacement ‘HAND NAILED’ Roof Specialists’.  Got questions about roof installations and storm damage repairs?  Here are a few answers to your questions… 

Hurricane season is right around the corner, so first your contractor must inspect your roof to identify the amount of storm damage.  Once the roof is inspected, the contractor should quantify the damage.  Based upon the extent of the damage the contractor will need to prepare a full scope of repairs or total replacement of the roof.  Once the problems are properly identified you are ready to select the best solution.  An integrated roofing system is more than just the shingles.  It consists of all of the roof components that are being replaced on the roof and requires proper application methods. The job workmanship and type of materials used are critical to an integrated roof system. If you have one without the other, the system will be incomplete.  Your contractor should explain how the various components work together, and why each is being used in designing your roof system solution. You will want to ask specific questions about each of the items used, and a professional will want you to spend the time necessary to discuss designing the best roof solution for you.

The various methods of application will determine whether your roof system reaches the optimal potential of its components. There are minimum standards created by the shingle manufacturers and local building departments. These standards have to be met in order for the roof to pass required inspections. Some governing bodies require no inspections and leave the choice up to the installer.  A great roof that is optimized saves the homeowner money, provides peace of mind, extends the life of their roof and resists storms.  Certain types of applications and roofs can reduce the homeowner’s insurance costs.  In addition, there are certain designs and application methods which will reduce the chances of having mold in your home.  Air ventilation methods oftentimes increase energy efficiency in a home and extend the life of the roof system.  Properly hand-nailed roof systems increase the shingle holding power during a Hurricane or high winds. Optional upgrades can provide cost savings, peace of mind, roof longevity and storm resistance.  Your contractor should be willing to provide options that will benefit you.

When choosing a roofing contractor, this can be a confusing time because it is difficult to know the steps involved in making a successful roofing investment. Although hand nailing does take longer, your contractor can actually feel the difference in pressure and sound when a nail misses wood.  Some roofing contractors prefer to use a power nailer, which in many cases misses the targeted wood, making your home more vulnerable to heavy wind damage since the roof has not been nailed properly.
