Most steep slope roofing systems have a lifetime warranty but some have 25 and 30-year options. Flat or low slope roofing systems will last from 15 to 30 years. Actual roof system lifespan can be influenced by several factors: local climate, proper design and installation, material quality and suitability, and preventative roof maintenance. The roofing product manufacturers that Nauman Contracting works with, such as GAF, Carlisle, and Englert, offer a variety of warranties on their products.

Unfortunately, there is no general rule of thumb for determining the cost of a new roof system. Every roof is unique in complexity, size, roof system type, finish selections, geographic location of the building, availability of material, and local labor cost. The best way to estimate your cost is to have a Nauman Roofing certified specialist take a look at your roof. Nauman Contracting is your Northeastern, Pennsylvania roofing contractor.

You have two options if you need a new roof: tear off your existing roof system and complete a full replacement (re-roof) or, just (re-cover) your existing roof system with a new one. The latter option will initially cost less because it requires less labor, but the fact is that a re-cover will only last half as long as a full replacement roof. The reason being that flashings are not replaced in a (re-cover) installation. It is important to know that if you have already had one re-cover installed on your original roof system, roof sheathing replacement may be necessary. In many instances, building code requirements allow no more than one roof system re-cover before a complete replacement is mandated. Additionally, manufacturers void their system warranty on recovers and require a complete roof replacement. Nauman Contracting is your Northeastern, Pennsylvania roofing contractor.

Most of the work should NOT be done yourself. Professional roofing contractors are trained to safely and efficiently repair or replace roof systems. You can damage your roof system by using improper roofing techniques and severely injure yourself by falling off or through your roof. Maintenance performed by home and building owners should be confined to inspecting roof systems during the fall and spring seasons to check for cracked or curling shingles and cleaning gutters filled with dead leaves and other debris. If you feel qualified to inspect your roof, use a firmly braced or tied-off ladder equipped with rubber safety feet. Wear rubber-soled shoes and stay on the ladder, (and off the roof system), if possible. Nauman Contracting is your Northeastern, Pennsylvania roofing contractor. Contact us today at 570-476-7606

Different roof types fail at varying rates and with different modes of failure. To save you some time, here is a list of general clues indicating roof failure: Does the roof leak in several locations? Do leaks persist despite repeated repair attempts? Do repairs seem to make leaks worse, or do new leaks develop after repairs? The following may indicate that your roof needs replacing: Missing, cracked or curling shingles Wood shakes are dry, curling and splitting Metal is rusting or pitting Slate is discolored, fracturing or falling off flat roof seams are separating, curling or “alligatoring” Rubber roof seam de-lamination tears Blistering or peeling paint Shingle, sheathing, or siding decay Leakage in the attic or chimney after heavy rains Stains on interior walls or ceilings Increased energy bills Rotten fascia or soffit

Spring, summer and fall are arguably the best roofing seasons; it is a common misconception that you cannot do roofing year round. Although Pennsylvania’s heavy winters can slow down the process due to less daylight hours and adverse working conditions, a full roof installation can be accomplished. Every season presents its own set of weather related challenges and it is our job as roofing professionals to know how to work through them safely 365 days a year.
