How Hail Affects Roofing Shingles

July 8, 2019 by Brett Johnson

Weather can be unpredictable, and turbulent weather—especially hail—can damage shingles.

A manufacturer’s warranty typically will not cover damage to your roof caused by hail. Above all, review the details of the warranty covering your shingles.

Here are some answers to common questions regarding hail damage.

Hail damage is not immediately noticeable. Hail impact may cause latent damage that can, over time, result in premature aging of the shingles.

Roof shingle damage will be seen as indentations and/or fractures on the shingle’s surface. Hailstones vary in size, shape, and hardness. That will create a random pattern of dents or depressions.

What are the most common types of damage?

Granule loss at points of impact, which may be accompanied by surface depression.
Cracks in the granule-asphalt surfacing, which may radiate outward from points of impact.
Exposed fiberglass mat, where hail shattered the granule-asphalt surfacing causing it to break away from the fiberglass mat.
Fractured fiberglass mat, which may or may not be immediately visible. Ultimately, a fractured mat may result in tears radiating out from the points of impact.
Loosening of the self-seal strip. This damage may or may not be immediately visible and may weaken the seal integrity, creating the possibility of future shingle blow-off.

It’s possible to replace individual storm-damaged shingles. Damage to the surrounding shingles from storm damage is difficult to assess. The surrounding shingles can experience storm damage. In the end, a complete roof replacement is sometimes recommended.

Our highly-skilled and factory-trained roofing experts at Muth Roofing do routine maintenance on both residential and commercial properties. Most importantly, to monitor the upkeep of your roof. You can trust that your roof will be in good hands.

Cash In Your Attic: How You Will Benefit From An Attic Energy Inspection

June 10, 2019 by Brett Johnson

Does your air conditioner seem to be running non-stop this summer?

Do you feel like you’re throwing money out the window?

When it comes to paying your utility bills, this may be the case.

The EPA estimates that the average U.S. household spends over $2,000 on energy annually. Approximately half of that amount goes to heating and cooling.

If your attic isn’t properly insulated and ventilated, the amount you will spend on heating and cooling will be much higher.

On a hot 90-degree summer day, the temperature of an improperly ventilated attic can peak at 150-160 degrees. That heat continually radiates down into your home, working your air conditioner harder in the summer.

Hot, moist air will also prematurely age roofing materials. How? Condensation will form in the attic, leading to mold and mildew growth. If you think your attic is a problem area, call the Columbus, Ohio professionals at Muth & Co. Roofing for an energy efficiency inspection.

This Muth & Co. Roofing service includes the following:

Calculating the R-value of your existing attic insulation.
Examining the exhaust and intake ventilation system.
Inspecting exhaust and intake vents for obstructions.
Checking all other fans and vents to make sure they are working properly.
Ensuring gable vents are properly screened or closed off.
Inspecting ceiling can lights for proper protection in the attic.

After the inspection, our Muth & Co. Roofing team will present you with a complete report.

This will include recommendations for improvements that will help your home stay cooler in summer, warmer in winter and extend the life of your roof.

Start saving on monthly energy costs. Call the Columbus, OH roofing professionals Muth & Co. today at (614) 882-0900 to schedule your complete attic efficiency inspection. We’re the Columbus, OH roofing contractors homeowners and business owners have trusted since 1992.

Is That Roofing Company Legit?

Scams are widely known practices of thieves.

Yet a lot of people still fall for them.

Some scams are just so elaborate and enticing that people who are desperate enough will easily believe. It’s important to do background checks on any company you’re looking to hire, especially for any home improvements you are planning. Simply checking their website (if they have any) won’t be enough; you need to be hands-on to be sure. Here are some methods on how to do a thorough background check on a company:

1) Search for an address or a landline number. One way of knowing a company is a sham if they don’t have an office or any means to contact them. A website domain and email are easy to create. Having a way to talk or meet with them directly can assure you that you’re dealing with a real company.

2) Search for the company name on Google. Look for information, reviews and feedback from their past clients if there’re any.

3) Check the Better Business Bureau. Probably the best way of knowing is to check for trusted affiliations.Protect your investments from fraudulence especially if it’s big like roofing repairs or new roof installation. You want a company that is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau.
