How do you protect vinyl Mac roofs and vinyl Mac siding of your home this winter?

Answer 1

Now is the time to take a good look at your home prior to the arrival of winter. The winter is a true test of your roof and siding on your home. The gusts, sleet, rain, snow; all add additional stress on your house, which is a significant issue when you have failing roofing components and or siding components. This time of year, prior to winter, is the perfect time to do a quick check up on your property.

Do you see shingles lifting or falling off your roof? If so, there is a good chance you will have a leak this winter? Every opening on your roof is a leak waiting to happen. If you can fit a pencil eraser, about a ¼ inch between the tabs of your shingles, it means your roof is ready to be replaced. Although there is no guarantee to the roof will fail this winter or years from now. There is likelihood when your roof does fail; it is going to cost you more to fix the interior of your house as well. The leak from your roof may cause your ceiling to becoming a sponge and lead to mold, or drip all the way into your bedroom.

A good preventative action would be to call a qualified roofing contractor with a references and more than a decade's worth of experience. The big associations that group contractors together do not assure quality and price; they just assure that they have thousands of unqualified contractors in their listing. Homeowners should do their homework and verify contractors are professional and contact previous clients. It only makes sense, it's your money. You should spend it wisely. Mac's Vinyl Siding and Roofs is a reputable contractor that has hundreds of roof install and repairs in his portfolio of satisfied clients. Also, Mac's is a GAF/ Elk Certified Master installer for roofing shingles which is a distinct advantage over his competition who have limited experience installing roofs.

Another potential hazard this winter is if your siding is falling off your house. Once the winter winds start beating at your home for another season, there is a chance your siding could get ripped off your home, and possibly damage a car or window. This is a simple fix for a qualified contractor like Mac's Vinyl Siding and Roofs. A bit of prevention now could save some serious stress in the winter months.
