Roofing

All roofs eventually wear down over time, whether it’s from severe weather or because it’s an old home. Therefore, it’s essential to have a regular roof inspection to ensure that the structural part of your roof is intact. Most people get their roof inspected when preparing to put their home up for sale, but it’s important to get your roof inspected annually, especially with the snowy and windy winters New York experiences.

It is a very strong, naturally durable and enhances the structural strength of the roof. Cedar roofing is also “green” as it is biodegradable.

Membrane Roofing

Membrane roofing is made of rubber, which is waterproof, making it an ideal choice for wet weather as it will never warp. The most common rubber material for membrane roofing is ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) mostly for two reasons – it can withstand wet climates and is designed to be resistant to intense sunlight. Furthermore, membrane roofing is resistant to scuffing and tearing. Since membrane roofing is lightweight, it is easy to install and move around with minimal additional equipment.

Sometimes it can be challenging to locate leaks in a membrane roof. However, it is simple to repair leaks in membrane roofing with patches that can be glued over the location, effectively sealing it.

Torch Down Roofing

Torch down roofing is a type of roofing material that has been designed for flat roofs.

There are different types of torch down roofing – a two-layer system and a three-layer system. The two-layer system is made up of one base layer and one torch down layer. Three-layer systems have.

The two-layer systems tends to last approximately 15 years as it is made up of one base layer of waterproof seal, while the three-layer system can last 20 years or longer because it has more to it (a base, a smooth torch down layer and a torch down layer with a granular surface). Installing a three-layer system requires great knowledge and experience with using a blowtorch to ensure that the torch does not damage the overall structure. If the torch down method is not done correctly, it could cause more problems than it’s worth. Thus, it’s important to hire a contracting/roofing company to provide a secure, leak-proof seal.
