Roofing Contractors

Ryson Roofing | Roofing Contractors

baton rouge roofing contractors
Roofing contractors are a special breed. I recently watched a team of roofers from Ryson Roofing install a pretty steep roof. I think I was more nervous than anyone who was actually on the roof. The way the guys move around without a care in the world really impressed me. They were only focused on one thing and that was applying the roofing material in a very synchronized fashion. The foreman and I were talking and he began to show me a pattern that they had developed from over twenty years of roofing. Wow! Its amazing to commit yourself so completely to a task especially a task as mundane as roofing that you can recognize a better way or more efficient way of roofing.  

Baton Rouge Roofing Contractors

Ryson Roofing are Baton Rouge roofing contractors and as a company has been roofing since 1992 and that in itself is pretty impressive. But when you consider the fact that they do not subcontract, you become even more impressed. Ryson Roofing employs teams a local roofers that have been with Ryson almost the entire time the company has been in existence. Now that was really impressive. I mean these guys have to haul bundles of shingles up a ladder. That alone is a serious workout. They then very meticulously lay the bundles down in a pattern very familiar to the guy actually nailing down the shingles. Not to mention that on a roof they are that much closer to our sun which beams rays of heat directly onto them. Hot hard work that is what roofing is all about. Much respect to the local roofers

To Roof or Not to Roof, That is the Question

Baton Rouge Roof Replacement | Ryson Roofing

Insurance, its a great feeling knowing you are protected. Insurance in all facets of insurance is in place to serve a very specific purpose and lessen your individual risk. Without insurance many of us could not stomach the costs of the unforeseen dangers in life. Insurance helps to mend situations that would otherwise seem insurmountable. Insurance companies are like math experts. They know all the little variables that make situations more or less risky and they have a great grasp on the probability of just about anything happening.  When it comes to your home owners insurance the same principles apply. 

You Roof

Protecting you from the elements is your roof. Its your force field against natures damaging forces and keeps your family warm and dry and your belongings safe. Most roofs are made from asphalt granules that if hit by hail are removed and the actual shingle is exposed to moisture. Your insurance company understands the severity of hail hitting your shingles. Which is why if evidence of hail dings exists on your roof, your insurance is 100% going to replace your roof. Why would they do that if the damage is not even noticeable? Well the insurance companies understand that if your roof is not replaced after it has received hail damage then eventually your insurance company is going to have to replace more than just your roof. The water damage that slowly becomes worse over time will eventually cost much more to fix. 

So, To Roof or Not To Roof?

There is your roof, sitting on top of your house all by itself. Playing super hero against the weather. If your roof has not been replaced within the past ten years then chances are it has previous storm damage that needs to be identified. You can easily answer the question, To Roof or Not To Roof." Just schedule your free Ryson Roofing roof inspection. Its free and a no brainer.

We have all heard about the major storms that have passed through the New Orleans area. Just about everyone I spoke with concerning these major storms remembers exactly what they were doing when the storms hit. Since 2005 New Orleans and the Louisiana coastline have been hit by more than ten storms. Of course at the top of everyone's memory regardless of where you live in the country is hurricane Katrina. The devastation was second to none. Many people lost everything in that storm. Hurricane Rita also hit the same year and made matters worse. What people do not take into consideration are all of the heavy storms that pass through the area that are tropical storms and not considered hurricanes. These storms can also cause some serious damage especially to roofs. And if your roof has damage, whether its noticeable to you or not, it will eventually cost thousands of dollars to repair.

5 Things You Can Do to Prolong The Life of Your Roof

Roofing Companies Baton Rouge | Ryson Roofing

baton rouge roof installation
In order to identify what you can do to prolong the life of your roof, we need to first look at some of the elements that wreak havoc to your roof. Especially considering that we live in Louisiana, an area prone to storms and volatile weather. Here in Louisiana we have hot summers and many wet months. Therefore, being proactive when it comes to roof maintenance is imperative in prolonging the life of your roof.

1.    Sun: There is not much you can do to prevent the sun from heating your roof. The sun is always there pointing its UV rays directly at your roofing shingles. The extreme heat from the sun’s UV rays in time can destroy your roof. The only real remedy here is to have your roof inspected at least every 5 years. This allows you to stay on top of any hidden damage that can be repaired easily.
2.  Wind: Wind is another element that is difficult to protect against. And the best way to protect your roof against wind is to make sure the roof is installed correctly. All shingles have nail lines. The nails should be nailed at the proper location. In addition in order to get the proper wind rating from the manufacturer, 6 nails need to be used per shingle.
3.    Rain: Rain has a tendency to fall in a sideways manner. When rain is accompanied by wind it can blow underneath shingles and cause havoc to your roof’s underlayment and sheathing. The best methods to combat rain are to use the appropriate underlayment. In addition to using the right underlayment, you also want to make sure you properly install all components of the roof such as the pipe jacks.
4.    Lichen: A lichen is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria (or both) living among filaments of a fungus in a symbiotic relationship. Lichen is more commonly recognized as moss and algae. Moss and algae are so harmful to your roofing shingles that they will negate your shingles manufactures warranty. We recommend having your roof cleaned at least once a year.
5.      Trees: Although trees are beautiful they can cause damage to your roof. In addition to puncturing your shingles, trees create a bridge for insects to cross onto your roof. We recommend trimming your branches so they are not hanging over your roof and at least 24” away from your house.

Baton Rouge roof installation can be prevented if you proactively maintain your roof. There are certainly chances that hail damage or other damage can occur. But by maintaining a clean roof and trimming back your tree branches you give your roof a shot at a longer life.
