5 Questions To Ask Your Local Roofing Company

July 29, 2019 by Chad Muth

Here are 5 questions to ask your local roofing company before starting a home improvement project, to make sure you’re dealing with the right crew.

Do You Have References We Can Call? Feedback and recommendations from previous customers ensure that the contractors are reliable and provide quality services. If the roofing company doesn’t have feedback available on their website, ask if you can speak to at least two or three of their previous clients about their past jobs. Another subtle way of doing this is by asking which houses they’ve worked on in your neighborhood.
Do You Give Warranties for Your Services and Products? Warranties protect you from unnecessary repair and replacement costs, especially when you receive a defective product.
Are You Licensed and Insured? Properly licensed and insured contractors are continuously training to install, repair, and perform maintenance procedures on roofs. Additionally, the local roofing company will be manufacturer certified.
Can You Give Me a Written Estimate with Payment Options and a Contract? A written estimate will contain the terms of the project (what you’ve agreed on), the price you’re going to pay the local roofing company including labor, the required deposit, and the method of your payment.
Who Will be Responsible for Cleaning and Acquiring the Necessary Permits? Some local roofing companies may not handle the clean up after they’re done with your roof. Responsible, licensed roofing companies in Columbus Ohio will help you get the necessary permits for the project and clean up when the project is done.

At Muth & Company Roofing, you can be sure that you’ll be working with a local roofing company that is friendly, efficient, and reliable roofers. We offer free project estimate, different payment options, and a range of roofing services. Contact us for more information about our services at 614-882-0900.

How Hail Affects Roofing Shingles

July 8, 2019 by Chad Muth

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.

Benefits Of An Attic Ventilation Inspection

June 10, 2019 by Chad Muth

The benefits of an attic ventilation inspection can help identify opportunities to help you save money on your energy bills.

When your rooms are stuffy or humid, you can tell you lack ventilation. In these cases, you can open the window or turn on the ceiling fan and your problem is fixed.

Lack of attic ventilation can be elusive when it’s located in the attic. After all, you rarely go up there. And when you do, it’s usually only for a short time. But when you leave, problems persist.

Effects of poor attic ventilation include:

Structural damage of floors/walls/joists
Increased ice damming on your roof
Mold and rust from excess moisture
Lowered energy efficiency

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 160 degrees. That heat continually radiates down into your home. This will make your air conditioner work harder in the summer.

Hot, moist air will also prematurely age roofing materials. How? Condensation will form in the attic. This will lead to mold and mildew growth.

If you think your attic is a problem area, call the Columbus, Ohio professionals, Muth and Company Roofing, for an energy efficiency inspection.

An energy efficiency inspection from Muth and Company Roofing service includes the following:

Calculating the R-value of your existing attic insulation.
Examining the exhaust and intake attic 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 attic ventilation inspection, our Muth and Company 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 and Company 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.
