Answers to Your Top Roofing and Gutter Questions
-
Given the PNW's wet and cloudy climate, suitable roofing materials include:
Asphalt Shingles: Both composted and fiberglass shingles are popular for their durability and cost-effectiveness.
Metal Roofs: Known for longevity and resistance to moss and algae growth.
Wood Shakes: Offer a natural aesthetic but require regular maintenance to prevent moisture-related issues.
-
Signs indicating the need for a roof replacement include:
Age: Roofs nearing the end of their lifespan (20-30 years for asphalt shingles).
Visible Damage: Curling, missing shingles, or significant granule loss.
Leaks: Water stains on ceilings or walls.
Moss and Algae Growth: Common in the PNW due to moisture; excessive growth can damage roofing materials.
-
Regular gutter maintenance is crucial due to frequent rainfall:
Frequency: At least twice a year—more if you have overhanging trees.
Purpose: Prevents water pooling on the roof, which can lead to leaks or ice dams.
-
Homeowners may encounter:
Leaks: Often due to clogged gutters or poor installation.
Moss and Algae Growth: Due to the wet climate; while algae is mostly cosmetic, moss can cause structural damage.
Poor Ventilation: Can lead to moisture buildup and mold.
