The
Number One Cause Of Md Shingle
"Blowoffs" Is .
. .
Here's another Home Restorations video
showing how incorrect nailing by the
homebuilder eventually resulted in wind
damage to a customer's roof in Waldorf,
Maryland. Improper nailing by inexperienced
roofers almost always results in unexpected
damage. Home Restorations
(www.MdRoofingServices.com) explains how
using proper nailing techniques and high
quality sealant, like Geocel Tripolymer, we
restore and improve the existing roofing
system. Many roofing companies would

Another
Home Roof Inspection and Estimate in Bowie,
Maryland by
http://www.HomeRestorationsMD.com and this
time with a roofing TIP. As you'll see in
the video, some "roofing contractor" tried
to fix this roof and really botched the job.
The area was in the rear of the home, very
high off the ground, and could not be seen
by the homeowner from the ground. The
result? A leaking roof and a lot of damage
to the owner's family room ceiling. How can
you avoid this happening to you? First, make
sure the contractor has [

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.
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 [

Md Skylight
Owners: How We Repair A Leaky
Skylight
Attention Homeowners: When you call a Contractor to
fix a leaky skylight, what exactly are you to
expect? Do you think the contractor is qualified to
do the job right? Do you even know what goes into a
good Certified Skylight Repair?
Will he use new
shingles, ice and water shield, step flashing, and
header flashing . . . or will he just head up to
the roof with a tube of $1.59 roof caulking from
Home Depot and smear the goo all over the place . .

Md
Roof Contractor Makes Replacing
Skylights Fast &
Easy
So you've recently noticed that your
skylight glass is fogged; yet after
cleaning with Windex the streaking is still
there. What's up with that? Well, it sounds
like the glass "seal" inside your insulated
glass unit has failed, causing condensation
and other contaminants to form inside the
glass panes; making cleaning impossible and
ruining your view. So what's the fix? You
have two choices: 1) Replace the insulated
glass, and 2) Replace the entire skylight
unit. Believe it or not, it's usually
cheaper to replace the entire skylight unit
-- and that's probably a good thing --
because [more...]

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.
So 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

First, the
existing shingles being removed are cut just
above the "keyways" with a hook blade knife,
then the roofing nails are carefully removed
so as not to tear the shingles. 2. Next, the
nails on the leaking plastic pipe collar are
removed with a pry bar -- then the collar
itself is removed. 3. After cleaning the
surface and installing two new base
shingles, the new collar is placed over the
PVC pipe and secured with 1-1/4" roofing
nails. 4. A sealing bead of Geocel
Tripolymer Sealant is placed in a circular
ark around [more...]
