Modern roofs can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years without issue, but water and the elements have a way of eventually getting inside and creating problems. And, if a home’s roof is not maintained, cleaned and monitored, those issues can become unwelcome surprises in the middle of cold or wet months.
Let’s talk about roof leaks. Many people don't realize that, in most cases, roof leaks don't actually start on a particularly rainy day. They usually start when the weather is hot and sunny — two things that Las Vegas in particular experiences quite a bit of. After it rains, any water left undrained on your roof is usually dried off by the sun, but it can still cause damage to the area in question. As the sun continues to beat down on your roof, the problem area gets worse and worse. Then, the next time a particularly bad storm rolls around (which can be often during monsoon season), you've got a major issue on your hands that you may not have even realized existed in the first place.
Living in Las Vegas has its perks, particularly our year-round warm weather. We may live in a desert climate, but Las Vegas locals sure know the best ways to chill out and cool down despite the relentless heat. Unfortunately, our home’s exterior can’t beat the heat as well as our interiors. As the extreme sunlight and heat shine down on our homes, our roofs incur damage day in and day out.
The roof on your home is one of its most important structural components. A small leak can lead to the buildup of mold and mildew in the attic, which can spread throughout your home. Ensuring repairs are handled right away is important for all homeowners. For some, the costs can be a concern, but fortunately, there are roof companies that finance.
If you had to make a list of some of the most important industries in the United States, home services would undoubtedly be right at the top.
Roof damage can be devastating for the structural integrity of the home and for your health and safety. That is why you never want to put roof repairs off. Often, a small leak can become a much more significant problem over time. The good news is that many homeowner’s insurance policies can cover the cost of roof repairs, depending on the type of policy you have and the cause of the leaks.
When you’re thinking of selling your home, boosting its resale value can help you get more money for it. Certain types of home improvement projects can raise your home’s value and enhance its curb appeal, which can make it easier to attract buyers and get higher bids. The key is knowing which kinds of home improvement projects give you the best chance at increasing your home’s resale value.
If you live in Southern Nevada, you know the summers in this area can be scorching hot. Therefore, you need to find a way to keep your home cool this summer. That's where radiant barrier insulation can help. Radiant barrier is a type of building material that reflects thermal radiation away from the surface, reducing heat transfer. Furthermore, radiant barrier can also act as a supplement to traditional blown-in attic insulation, keeping your home cool this summer.
Cooling a home in Las Vegas can be challenging due to the extreme heat in the summer. Insulating the attic, garage door, piping, and seal joists keeps your home comfortable and increases its energy efficiency. Since cooling and heating make up to 70% of your home’s energy use, the proper amount of insulation is crucial. Too little attic insulation leads to air leaks that waste a ton of energy. But did you know it’s possible to have too much insulation in your home?
