Md Roof Repair: Roofer Replaces Shingles in Gaithersburg Md

http://www.MdRoofingServices.com

What is your first thought when you look out into your front yard and you see torn shingles laying in the grass? Are they mine? Boy, I hope they're not mine. Then you look up on your roof only to see a bare spot with shingles flapping in the wind.

Then you look around the neighborhood and see that many families are having exactly the same problem. "Well, we live in a windy area," you reason.

Actually, when many roofs in your subdivision are losing shingles, it's usually a result of the builder's roofer making a mistake of some kind, and from my 33 years of inspecting and repairing roofs in Maryland -- it usually affects almost every home in the neighborhood.

Watch this video and you will see a few of the most common mistakes roofers make; usually resulting in some expensive repairs for you -- the homeowner.

The good news is, we offer a service in Maryland we call our "$247 Roof Repair", which inexpensively solves your roofing problems before they become major. You can check out the details here:

I've been told the most valuable part of the service is the fact that we post before, during, and after pictures online so that our customers can see what was actually done, as promised. Very comforting.

No one else in our area does anything like this.

their old dry shingles. heat from the nail in the summer time, eats right through the shingle. shingles are trash.

All of the shingles I've renailed in this neighborhood are holding just fine. The shingles are only nine years old -- I know, sometimes 25 year shingles don't last that long . . .

Most of the nails were "blown through" during installation; the ones that were nailed properly (about 40%) are holding OK.

I like what you commented on -- it does happen . . .

@MdRoofingServices, I always found staples work better with OSB chip board. nails just seem to blow holes into the material, the main reason for over driven nails, or blow through's. OSB, as shingles are just trash being used for building materials. out west here in calif, heat, the sun, and pollution, play hell with asphalt shingles.

[MdRoofingServices]

Yeah, you guys have a lot more heat to contend with, and I bet the older OSB has turned to sawdust by now . . .

In this subdivision you're looking at, half of the roofs were done with staples, the other half with pneumatic nails. The OSB was actually half decent.

Some of the areas we've been in the OSB had never been directly exposed to the weather and was just "gone." Different quality points, for sure . . .

When I do repairs I always use CDX plywood so I can sleep at nght.

majority of the builders are idiots and have no business building a house.

[MdRoofingServices]

Sometimes I wonder about that. I think in our state it's because roofing contractors don't have to have the same licensing -- in fact none at all -- to do the work.

That usually means that even the "minimum standards" required by licensing don't even come into play.

Very nice demonstration.

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY STILL SELLING THOSE PLASTIC BASE COLLAR JACKS. THEY ALWAYS BREAK WHERE U NAIL THEM OR SHRINK WHEN U DON'T PUT ENOUGH NAILS.

[MdRoofingServices]

Sorry, Bob G, we're a local company in the Maryland Suburbs of Washington, D.C. Good luck, and try to find a contractor that uses before, during, and after pictures as part of their package.
