Roof Twins: Alexandria Roof Repair

This video explains how an Alexandria roof repair job turned out to be a whole lot more than expected

We got a call from an Alexandria homeowner requesting an estimate for roof repair and a siding repair. But after inspecting all to siding and the roofing, we found that there were many issues such as there was no moisture barrier, no Tyvek installed to the wood surface and the siding, instead of being fastened every 16 to 24 inches into the wood studs, they fastened the siding every 4 to 6 feet and that’s the reason why this siding blew off.

So now, the homeowner was hoping that the insurance company would cover this because of storm related damage but the insurance company will not cover this because it’s due to improper installation.

So now the homeowner instead of them thinking that they weren’t going to have to pay anything except for the deductible for either a siding repair or a roof repair to the Alexandria home, now they have to pay to have all the siding completely taken off on the right side of the right side of the house so that the Tyvek moisture barrier can be installed. And the entire roof at the front side of the house has to be stripped off to the bare wood and done completely over new.

Because if we only replace the shingles that have been blown off, the rest of the roof will start having problems with blown off shingles in many other areas because they were all nailed high. So everything has to be done new. Contact us for more information about Alexandria roof repair.
