Update 3: An Announcement on kindness

One less worry!
The happy couple watch as work is done on their home!

Willoughby Supply
The materials have arrived!

Willoughby Supply in Maumee, Ohio was our biggest supporter. They either supplied or made arrangements for the supplies for the entire job at no charge to the family!

The photo above was taken of the home while setting up and beginning work!

And the work begins.....

    The photo taken to the left features 2 crew members completing the tear off process.

 

With the old roof off, and prep work done it it time to protect the roof
& lay shingles..........

<-----Old Roof




                                       New Roof----->
   
     The job has gone beautifully and we have loved working with the family. The only glitch that we have hit so far is with the material order and that is being rectified as I type. Fortunatley we got a stretch of good weather in which to handle it, but even if not there are steps that can be taken in situations like that to protect the home. Regardless, we look forward to finishing and are honored to provide #onelessworry

Update 2: An Exciting Announcement on Kindness

I Have a bit of an update, I wish that it was more...
After delaying 2 days due to weather and a minor delivery mixup we are back on target to get the Newton's roof done.
As much as everyone wanted to just push through the weather we could not take any chances with the family's home.
Delivery is now scheduled for Friday afternoon and as soon as we are assured that the weather is clear we will begin tear off.
Thanks again to all of our supporters.
We will update again on Friday!

The Language of a Roof

Many times when people call on us for either a full roof or roof repair they are at a loss for words when trying to describe what they want simply because they don't know some basic terminology! Whether you need a simple repair or have a large project in mind this article should assist you in communicating with your contractor and or supplier.

There are several things to consider when it comes to roof renovation. Pitch is particularly important and is useful information for the contractor to have. Pitch is the steepness of your roof. 1/12 (flat roof)- 12/12 (straight up and down). For example the roof above would most likely be considered a 6/12.

Knowing the square of your roof is also important. 1 square equals 100 square feet. For example if your roof is 4500 square feet it is 45 square. Pitch will also play a factor when calculating the square footage of a roof. The square footage of a home is not an exact reflection of the square footage of a roof. Many websites and apps will do the calculation for you if you know the pitch and square footage.

Roof Sheathing is your decking, OSB. It is laid over the rafters and essentially is the first layer of your roof. Many times this will need replaced when a full roof is done. Roof Felt and ice and water shield is the next layer. it is installed over your decking and must never be left out! This important under layment should always be in place before a job site is left over night.

Lastly, there are many materials besides asphalt that can be installed in your roofing system. This final layer is where you ensure the life of your roof and personalize the look of a home.

DIY: Most Common Spring Roof Repairs!

     With a combination of my experience and a little extra research I pulled some pretty hard numbers regarding spring roof repairs particularly in multi-season regions.

 The Chart to the left represents homeowners as a whole. The green (65%) are the fraction of homeowners that suffer some degree of damage to their roof, siding, gutters, etc. throughout the season's various weather circuses. When left untreated it can result in the breakdown of a roof quicker than normal, leading to costly interior damage.
     i found that there were 2 main roof repairs that roofing contractors and homeowners alike deal with.



1: ROOF LEAKS AND MOISTURE

The above before and after is a repair that Hunt's Roofing just did and common spots for leaks!

2: BLOW-OFFS, TENTING, REDUCED WIND UPLIFT RESISTANCE, AND BILLOWING

The above before and after are also repairs that Hunt's did. These are very common repairs. 

All Repairs shown can be done in under an hour by a professional and will run between $150.00 and $250.00. If these are things that you may be thinking of having done and live in the Toledo are we do all repairs at a rate of $50.00 for the first hour and $45.00 each additional.

An Exciting Announcement on Kindness!!!

   

 I am extremely honored and excited to announce the contribution of a brand new roof awarded to the Newton Family!!! Many of you reading this know the family personally and know what they have been through. I know many of us have loved ones who have faced illness bravely and also know the feeling of helplessness it leaves in it's wake. There are things we can do to make the path clearer!
With the help of Willoughby Supply located here in Toledo and Certainteed Building Products who donated 100% of the material, Hunt's Roofing is donating several crew member's time to get this roof done!
     I am looking for volunteers. I only need a handful. If you have experience with roofing that is a bonus, but if not that's ok! If you are interested contact me via this post or email.
Special thanks to Bryan Ramasocky w/ Hunt's Roofing who is donating his time and skill, and to Mike Stoll w/ Willoughby Supply who got the ball rolling for me on the materials!
Looking forward to sharing pics, before and afters, and the whole story with you here!
God Bless and Keep Helping One Another!  UPDATE!!

DIY Roofing Repair Tips

   When it comes to simple roof repairs many people make the decision to make a go of it. If you are one of those people here are a couple of helpful things to keep in mind.

1. Safety First. It's not just for kids. Make sure you are familiar with you roofs pitch or steepness. Some roofs require special equipment. Have the proper foot wear, something with a grip. Always be sure the ladder you are using is the correct height. A harness is something to consider. It costs a little extra, but definitely cheaper than a trip to the ER. Never take for granted that you are a distance from the ground. if you are 6' tall it takes less than 12' to do significant damage.

2. The weather. The weather is an obvious thing to consider when you are planning any work to your roof, but be sure to get specific. Plan the weather down to the hour and allow for incidentals. Take into consideration wind speed in your planning especially if you are going beyond 1 story.

3. Find a Possible Leak. If you are worried about a possible leak and have enough hose length, spray the roof in the suspected area. You can use plastic sheeting or roofing paper also known as roofing felt to protect the roof once the leak is detected until you can repair it or call a roofer.

4. All about Maintenance. Once the weather is suitable in your area, once a year there are things you can do to prevent unnecessary costs. Clean all ventilation systems, seal around vents and pipes, paint exposed metals to prevent rust, and of course clean those gutters!

Bringing the Cost of Roofing Down

  Getting word out about a new roofing company that will save the homeowners in the Toledo area thousands, Hunt's Roofing, lead to a desire to help home owners all over the country save money with basic information via this blog. We began this company because after 20 years in the industry we were tired of seeing people go into debt to repair their homes.

      My partner and I wanted to give people the opportunity to truly see that they did not have to reinvest A large fraction of what the home is worth just keep it from rotting. Today I am gathering competitive quotes that will show this. Many homeowners are going with bigger roofing companies, expecting better quality and often pay 2 - 4 times the necessary price. These bigger roofing companies then turn around and hire a sub for a fraction (small fraction) of the cost. This is throwing homeowners into debt for loans that may not be needed.

     I am excited to be able to provide this information. You shouldn't have to pay for peace of mind when it comes to your home. It should come naturally as a result of caring for your investment properly!!!! As we investigate this and I present the facts keep in mind, that while I've done a large percentage of the research, you always want to research prices in your region. Lots of people are not aware that prices vary by region.
