Grace Roofing, a very well-known Winston-Salem roof repair company, has recently published helpful information about flat roof leak repair costs and the causes of flat roof leaks in Winston-Salem and the greater North Carolina Piedmont Triad area. Flat roof leaks are far more common than many owners realize. What may be an unnoticed tiny leak can become far more serious far more quickly than expected.
As a result, the company suggests that all flat roofs be inspected on a yearly basis, even if no obvious problems are evident. If there is even a small leak that has been noticed, the company goes on to say that the owner should call in a professional to assess the situation as soon as possible. as this can help mitigate the potential cost of a major leak occurring.
Richard Sakowski, owner of the Grace Roofing, said that leaks on flat roofs if left unrepaired can become more serious and end up costing a significant amount of money. If a leak is tackled at an earlier stage it can sometimes be addressed for less than a thousand dollars, depending on the problem. The average lifespan of a flat roof is in the neighborhood of ten to fifteen years and Grace Roofing wants the Piedmont community to understand that they have choices and that not all roofs have to be replaced just because there is a leak. If addressed early enough, a leak can simply be repaired thus lengthening the lifespan of the roof itself.
The geographic area that Grace Roofing covers, along with reviews of the company’s work and further information is available online here: https://g.page/Graceroofingllc?we, as they will service a great deal of the Piedmont area.
Mr. Sakowski spoke about the principles that the company holds and said, “One of the things that we take very seriously is that we will never leave a business or homeowner in any sort of danger. We don’t recommend repair if a roof needs replacing, and we don’t recommend replacing a roof necessarily just because of a leak.”
However, there are several signs that Grace Roofing say indicate a problem with the roof and these include: water stains on the underside of the roof deck, mold or mildew in an attic, visible cracks in the attic, or bowing or creasing of the roof material. Small puddles of water on the roof are another major thing to watch out for.
Grace Roofing also says that home/building owners and manages should also watch out for damage to the flashing on a roof, as that can actually create or indicate leaks. “Flashing” is the proper term for the metal strips around things like chimneys and air conditioners.
In addition to their work on repairing and installing flat roofs, Grace is also a Standing Seam Metal Roofing Company, which means they are able to provide the long-lasting metal roofs that are becoming more common in the Piedmont area. These metal roofs come in a variety of colors and finishes.
Grace Roofing is knowledgeable about the different choices that a home or business owner can make when it comes to metal roofs: for example, whether to choose between “SMP” type paint, which resists fading for a long period of time, or whether to choose “Fluropon” type paint which also lasts a long time, because it has a very advanced resin which provides the pigments with the highest staying power. “We can help customers make informed decisions about what is best for their building and their budget,” said Mr. Sakowski.
Mr. Sakowski went on to say, “Grace Roofing is big enough to take on every job. At the same time, we’ve stayed small enough to care about every relationship we build!”
