Why we replaced the chimney flashing

The chimney is one of the first places we check on any roof. Flashing seals the joint where the brick meets the shingles. Old flashing can pull loose or crack over time. When that happens, water finds the gap. Laying new shingles around old flashing is a shortcut. We do not take it. On this job the chimney got new flashing with the new roof. The dormers got the same attention. Every spot where the roof changes direction is a spot water wants to go.

Attic ventilation and your heating bills

The ridge vent and the solar attic fan work together. The ridge vent lets air out along the peak. The solar fan pushes more air out on sunny days. That moves warm, moist air out of the attic. In summer that heat bakes the decking. In winter that moisture can collect under the roof. A drier attic is easier on the decking and the shingles. If your heating bills climb every fall, your attic is worth a look. We check ventilation on every free inspection.

Fall is a good time for a roof replacement in Iredell and Rowan County. The weather is mild. New shingles get time to seal before the cold sets in. Leaf season is also when gutters clog and water backs up at the roof edge. If your roof is getting older, find out where it stands now. Do not wait for the first hard freeze to tell you.
