How to Get the Best Md Ridge Vent Repair or
Replacement
You've recently noticed water
stains on the ceiling right over the hallway on
the upper level of your home, so you call a
roofing contractor to find and fix the roof
leak. In most homes, the center hallway is
right below the ridge of the roof; so the first
place we usually start looking for this type of
leak is at the ridge vent.
You call a licensed contractor and he sends someone
out to find and fix the problem; then 90 days later
the roof starts leaking again, even more than
before, and you're past the 30 day warranty
period.
That's exactly what happened to our customer that
owns the home is in this video -- and the worst
part is, even after his "warranty" had expired, the
contractor was "hands off" with the new problem. If
I were the contractor, I would have fixed it at no
additional cost, done the customer "right", showed
him with photos that it WAS done right, and then
proceeded to do much more additional work in his
neighborhood -- including all of the re-roofs in
the near future.
I don't know what these other roofing contractors
are thinking, but I see this kind of behavior all
the time. You see, most roofing companies just want
the "big jobs" so they're not set up properly to do
roof repair work. It's just not in their business
model, and they end up getting in trouble by
overcharging for work they don't even want, and
usually do it improperly.
Well, here's a big homeowner tip: Only hire a
roofing company that can prove they're an expert in
roof repairs -- and preferrably someone who can
supply before, during, and after roofing pictures
to show you that the roof was done as contracted --
and properly. This will completely eliminate
roofing scams and just plain old "incompetent
work".
By the way, the contractor that did the bad work in
this video charged more than 2 times what we
did and he just smearing gook over the
leak; we replaced the ENTIRE metal ridge vent
system, sealed some additional leaks with Geocel
Tripolymer Sealant, cleaned and tightened the
gutters, and performed some other helpful roofing
maintenance.
So when it comes to hiring a good roof repair
contractor, just say "no" if they can't provide
proof of expertise in roof repairs, and only hire
an expert roofer that will provide before, during,
and after pictures of your project.
