Why You Need to Upgrade Your Roof
When your shingle roof or metal roof has reached its age limit it might be time to check on the attic insulation in your roof as well. A surprising number of roofs that we replace in Fairbanks, Alaska are poorly insulated. Attic r-values of r-18 to r-30 are not uncommon on houses build here before the early 2000’s and are sometimes still being produced. According to the Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC) any home in the sub-Arctic climate should have a roof with insulation values of r-60 or greater. Heat loss through the roof of a home is the most common place for losing heat but often the easiest and least expensive to mitigate. For this reason we offer competitive pricing and management of your roof upgrade needs.

Why your roof is important for the longevity of your home
Another value added upgrade is replacing or adding gutters to your home. Existing gutters can often be repaired unless they are plastic. If there are areas on your home where there are no gutters you may consider adding gutters.
Gutters are necessary for a few reasons. The most important function of gutters is protecting your foundation from settling. As water falling from the roof is concentrated next to the house it can cause settling and damage to your foundation. Next, gutters protect your siding from moisture near the base of the home but also where one roof drops onto another. Some houses allow water to drop from one roof to another below where the lower roof has a gutter. Let’s take a look at your situation together.
And the final bell and whistle
Leaf guards in your gutters reduce maintenance because you will rarely, if ever, need to climb up a ladder to clean the gutters. Leaf guards keep leaves from accumulating in your gutters causing blockage and eventual overflow onto the ground below. This protects your foundation and siding from long term water damage. Ask us about leaf guards when we meet at your home to assess your roof needs!
