Hydro Stop

Filed under: Notes, Popular, Recent — 1st Choice Roofing @ 2:57 AM

Hydro-Stop System is a system designed for metal roofs, steep roofs, flat roof, and commercial roofs as well. The material is made from water based polymers and acrylics. The Hydro-Stop System is one of the safest systems to install for it is environmentally friendly due to it being water based. The sun does not effect roof temperatures due to its high Albedo factor. Many schools are beginning to use the Hydro-Stop System for its longevity, warranty, and its ability to reflect the Sun.

Today’s environment requires Roofing Contractors to evaluate new roof systems that are environmentally friendly. The cost of cooling a large commercial building may be reduced significantly with the installation of the Hydro-Stop System. The warranty is for a lifetime so long as you keep the Top Coat renewed every 10 years. The Atlanta Roofing Company 1st Choice Roofing would be happy to install your new Hydro-Stop System.

Asphalt Shingles

Filed under: Notes, Popular, Recent — 1st Choice Roofing @ 10:57 PM

Asphalt shingles is the most installed type of roofing material. The shingles last upwards of 50 years depending on the brand you choose. Unfortunately, the price of asphalt shingles are increasing on a bi weekly basis. The oil companies are charging the shingle manufactures more money for a barrel of asphalt. These price increases have roofing companies seeking out other alternatives for their customers.

The asphalt shingle industry is steadily loosing business to metal roof manufactures. A metal roof has become a great alternative in lieu of an asphalt roof. The price of metal continues to decrease as a result we may begin to see more roofs covered with standing seam metal.

Skylight Damage

Your skylight may be damaged due to the recent hail storms we have had in Georgia. An inspection can be completed by a Professional Roofing Company such as 1st Choice Roofing. We inspect your entire roof in addition to evaluating your damaged skylight. If there is water coming into the skylight itself, the frame and glass will need to be replaced as soon as possible.

Our Roofing Company will be able to complete these repairs in a timely manner. We offer the Velux and Wasco skylights for the replacement. Exarc Skylight, Inc. will build a custom skylight  to fit all your skylight needs. The repair department at 1st Choice Roofing deals with many different styles of skylights.

Hail Damage

Filed under: Popular — 1st Choice Roofing @ 11:45 PM

Hail Damage has caused many roofs to leak. The shingles get broken as the large Hail Stones hit the fiberglass matting. The quickest way to spot Hail Damage is by evaluating the soft metals, such as vents or H VAC pipes. The other way is less convenient and I am referring to major roof leaks. It is not uncommon for a ceiling, wall, or floor to be damaged by rain after a large Hail Storm.

The insurance companies in Georgia have been very cooperative by compensating homeowners with their insurance claim. Roofing Contractors have been busy as well for they are covering homes 6 days a week. The Hail Damage was wide spread and the ice from the storm was very large. These two combination  alone will keep the Roofing Companies in Atlanta busy for the next 3 years.

Timberline Shingles

Filed under: Notes, Popular, Recent — 1st Choice Roofing @ 8:06 PM

I was wondering what the difference was between a Timberline Shingle and a regular 3 tab shingle. My neighbor told me that the Timberline style was a thicker material and therefore was a better product. I know the Timberline Shingle looks very unique in comparrison the 3 tab shingle.

My Roofing Contractor advised me that my roof was too flat for a Timberline style shingle. We were able to get the look of a 30 year shingle with the Atlas Chalet brand. Not only does my roof look great, it is leak free.

Roof Repairs

Filed under: Recent — 1st Choice Roofing @ 10:37 AM

We had a customer call the office after hours. Her house was leaking and she needed her roof repaired. There was water entering the house when we arrived at her residence. Since it was 8 p.m. in the evening, we had to install a tarp until the next morning.

The house had been hit by a large hail storm and the shingles were broken. The next morning, the Insurance company was notified of the damage and the adjuster met with our project manager to pay for the roof repairs that were needed. The roof repair encompassed all the pipes, chimney, and valleys. The job was completed in 8 hours and the roof was watertight once again. 1st Choice Roofing is proud to serve our customers!
