How much rain will El Nino pour over Pasadena, Arcadia, and the San Gabriel Valley during Halloween weekend and this coming winter?
We don’t know.
We do know this.
We’ll have rain this winter.
And next summer, we’ll have several weeks of temperatures in the high 90s and low 100s.
Rain, heat, rain, heat. Winds will kick up at some point, too, and seismic shocks common to Southern California will cause your home and roof to shift, even though you don’t notice the movement.
What this means is you need a roof for all seasons.
Thomas Garvey, owner of Garvey Roofing, installs and repairs roofs to withstand the elements and stay healthy for many decades.
What is a roof for all seasons?
A roof doesn’t just keep out heat and rain. A quality roofing system lowers utility bills by keeping heat outside during the summer, and warmth inside during the winter.
It also circulates air properly so the roof doesn’t bake and age prematurely during the hottest days and any rain seeping into the attic dries out during the winter.
Summer’s heat dries out asphalt shingles and gradually erodes seams and underlayment, even with tile roofs and improperly installed metal roofs.
Sealants around vents and protrusions like solar panels can crack from the summer sun and become points of entry for winter rain.
Proper nailing techniques and sealants keep shingles and other roofing materials fixed to the roof during the Santa Ana winds.
The Big Question
Do I need a new roof or repair if my roof leaks?
Garvey Roofing gives free roofing estimates.
Leaks can happen on homes or commercial roofs for many different reasons. There may be a need to repair one section of decking or repair flashing to keep water from ponding on lower points.
Sealing the material can fix leaks, too.
Think this through.
How old is your roof?
Did it leak in the most recent winter or most recent rains?
How long do you plan to own your home or commercial building?
If your roof was installed more than 15 years ago and either the shingles are curling, or underlayment beneath a tile roof is eroding then it may be a smart decision to install a new roof.
If you plan to sell your home or commercial building in the next few years, then a repair may be adequate.
