Attic Ventilation

It’s crucial for a long lasting roof to have proper ventilation. Just because the inside of your home may be cool in the summertime, your attic may have a temperature twice of that.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofs provide great looks and long-lasting durability over time.  There many styles and colors to choose from and we customize each job to fit your desire. 

Shingle Roofing

Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing by far, they are made of fiberglass sandwiched between asphalt and ceramic granules. They are a good choice if you're looking for style at a budget price. 

Flat Roofing

Flat roofs are used in areas commonly with less rainfall. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to withstand areas with a much greater chance of precipitation.

With the brutal hot weather in Arizona, your shingles may be receiving twice the wear and tear by simply not having the proper ventilation below. Your attic can sometimes exceed 30-40° warmer than the temperature outside.

 Having adequate roof ventilation reduces cooling bills, extends shingle life, and prevents roof rot and other water damage during monsoon season. Products such as gable vents, roof floor vents and wind turbines can both add years of life to your roof and also save you hundreds of dollars a year on your electricity bill.

Our qualified technicians have the resources available to provide you with an air current and temperature test inspection, free of charge. Don’t let your roof suffer from improper attic ventilation, give us a call today to find out how you can benefit from our energy efficient products and services.

how much ventilation should your attic have?

Having to much ventilation can be just as bad, if not worse than having poor ventilation. Attic vents tend to create areas for roof penetration, which leaves your attic vulnerable to leaks. For optimal airflow, you should have a ratio of 1 square foot of attic ventilation for every 300 square feet of ceiling space. Why worry? Simply give us a call at 480-686-9499 to talk to one of our professionals contractors, so we can determine what your roof ventilation requires.

Certified!

There are many areas of the east coast that deal with lots of snow that depend on their flat roofs holding up to the wet conditions. In Arizona there are many variations of flat roofs for overhangs, residential or commercial buildings. The grade of the flat roof depends on the type of environment it’s going to be used in. 

There are four common types of Flat Roof Applications:

Single Ply or Modified Bitumen

This type of flat roofing is applied by using a single roll of asphalt adhesive, made with a granule top base for wear & tear. The Peel and Stick method is easy to install and is safe to apply to a wood base material.  The thickness of an average Single Ply is between 50-90 millimeters. It comes in many different colors and is the most common flat roof material used today.

Built Up Roofing (BUR)

Just like it sounds, BUR is installed by using multiple layers of material to achieve the desired thickness. These membranes can be added to stack on top of one another and repeat a cross pattern for each layer. Once the final application is applied, roof granules or small size gravel is added to protect the top surface from the sun and weather. 

Rubber Membrane

A single layer of rubber membrane applied directly to the roof surface, and uses an adhesive to connect each roll together. The seems must be water-tight and cannot allow any early leaks, otherwise it can start to unravel right before your own eyes. Regular maintenance is required every 5-7 years, and is one of the least expensive alternatives to roofing material.

Spray Foam

Is installed as a 2-part insulation application which is sprayed directly onto the surface, it’s then coated with an acrylic covering helping to protect the material below.  The advantages of an SPF roof is that it’s seamless and is durable to flat areas where water ponding may be an issue. Foam roofs have a life expectancy of 10 years and it’s crucial to maintain every 3-5 years.
