Need a Roof Certification? No Problem!

Oftentimes, your mortgage company will require that your roof undergo a routine assessment to ensure its integrity. This typically happens prior to you purchasing your home, and then every 5 years or so to make sure that there are no major structural or protective issues with it. Without this roofing certification, you could be required to carry extra insurance on your home, or even see your mortgage rates go up. Fortunately, we here at JBC are just the allies you need to guarantee the continued optimal performance of your roof and its component systems.

What Goes Into a Certification?

Typically, your style of roof, its age, pitch, and/or its roof repair history are the major factors that your mortgage company uses in determining your need for a roof certification. As certified roof inspectors, we understand their requirements better than most. That knowledge will guide us in assessing your roof and reporting on its condition. As part of our roof inspection, we’ll look for the following things:

• Any damaged or deteriorated shingles or roofing tiles
• Cracks or other wear in the flashing
• Blockages in the gutter system
• Any potential movement the roof or its materials may have experienced

The purpose of the certification is to show that your roof is strong enough to endure another 5 years of exposure without experiencing any major issues. Perhaps the best thing to come out of it is that as the provider of your certification, we’ll address any problems outside of insurable damage at absolutely no cost to you.

Reliable Roof Replacement for Your Home of Office

Few truly understand what a complex system your home or office’s roof truly is. Far more than just a layer of shingles or roof coating, it is complex network of different systems all working in concert to protect your from the elements as well as to channel water and other debris away from your home. With all that it’s asked to stand up to, its little wonder that most recommend a roof replacement every 20-30 years. When it does come to replace it, you want to a contractor that specializes exclusively in exterior services. We here at JBC are such a provider.

Understanding Your Roof’s Component Systems

The many different component systems of your roof include:

• The base structure: These are the rafters and trusses that support the roof deck.
• The roof deck: Typically comprised of thin layers of plywood, this is the material to which the roof underlayment and covering are affixed.
• The underlayment: This is a specialized barrier material that protects from water infiltration.
• The covering: These are the shingles, tiles, or coating that provide your roof’s outer layer of protection against the elements.
• The flashing: Flashing is the material installed at around protrusions and at the joints and valleys of your roof that prevent water from pooling and seeping in.
• The drainage systems: The network of gutters and downspouts installed along your roof channel water off the roof and away from your home or office building.

Our replacement services starts with a thorough inspection of every component of your roof. If we can save you money in certain areas, we will. Yet with a complete replacement of all systems, you’re ensured the best performance possible going forward.

Your Source for Fast and Effective Roof Repair

The roofs covering Colorado’s homes and office buildings (particularly those installed by us here at JBC) typically provide residents with optimal protection year-in and year-out. Yet with all that the local climate has to throw at them, they’re bound to experience a few issues along the way. Taking care of issues now helps protect you from having to spend a fortune addressing water and weather damage in the future. Our roofing company can help deal with those problems quickly and effectively, with minimal intrusion into your family life or daily business routine.

Common Causes of Roof Damage

Many often wonder how exactly roof damage happens, and what, if anything, can be done to prevent it. While special cases always exist, the three most common causes of extensive roof damage are:

• Shingle deterioration: Over time, the asphalt granules that allow shingles to provide such excellent protection against the elements begin to be blown, chipped, or sloughed off. Once enough granules have been lost, the shingles are easy split or blown off.
• Cracks in flashing: The flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights provide a waterproof seal where shingles and roof coatings can’t. Yet the stresses flashing experiences at certain points can cause cracks, which allows water to seep into the roof deck and saturate insulation, cause water damage, or even problems with your electrical systems.
• Storm damage: High winds can blow or tear shingles away, while ice dams formed from heavy snow buildup can add excess stress to overhangs and gutters. If you happen to notice heavy ice buildup or fallen shingles around your property after a severe storm, then immediate repairs are needed.

We here at JBC can halt the spread of roofing issues before they require a complete roof replacement. Routine inspections as part of a roof certification program can help in fortifying your roof against damage altogether.

JBC Roofing and Gutters
(303) 346-8285

Support Your Roof with a Sound Gutters

Of all of your home’s exterior systems, your roof tends to get the most attention. Yet one crucial component system that cannot be overlooked is your gutters and downspouts. While your roof shields you from water and other falling or windblown debris, it’s your gutters that actually carry those elements away from your home to prevent them from causing eventual damage from their buildup. This is why we at JBC advise all of our clients to address any issues with their gutters at the same time that they’re seeking roof replacement and repair. Just how important are your gutters to roof’s overall performance? Well, we included them in our name, didn’t we?

Creating Gutters and Downspouts Customized to Your Home

There are a lot of different factors that go into determining your exact gutter needs. These may include:

• The pitch or grade of your roof
• The placement of tress around your home
• Local precipitation patterns

We examine the layout of your roof to give an accurate idea of exactly how many feet of gutters and downspouts that you’ll need, as well as where they should be placed. We know how to strategically place drainage outlets to avoid pooling from downspouts from your upper to lower roof. We can also recommend the ideal gutter thickness to handle the annual rain and snowfall Colorado’s climate delivers. When it comes to gutter materials we offer high-quality steel gutters from trusted manufacturers such as Weather Guard and Spectra Metal Sales. These combine the best of both aluminum and steel gutters: added strength and protection from wear and corrosion. Plus, they can be painted to match the shade of your shingles.

Your Partner in Home Exterior Protection

As you can see, an effective, freely-flowing gutter system is as vital to your home’s continued protection as a structurally sound roof. That’s why we here at JBC have included comprehensive gutter care as part of our roof repair service package. We can ensure that the water, leaves, and other debris continue to roll off of your roof and away from your home.
