If you’re looking for an experienced roofing contractor near Central PA, trust the professionals at Easy Siders Home Improvements, LLC to help you navigate the roofing process, we’ve provided a guide to the many services we offer and how they can benefit you!

Leak Barrier

A quality leak barrier will help create a 100% watertight seal that keeps water out of the most vulnerable areas of your roof (at the eaves and rakes, in valleys, around chimneys, etc.). It also protects your home by preventing the costly repairs caused by wall or ceiling staining and prevents leaks from water damming in your gutters, wind-driven rain, and (in the North) damaging ice dams.

Roof Deck Protection

Superior quality roof deck protection can protect and beautify at the same time! Quality roof deck protection benefits you in a number of ways:

Prevents wind-driven rain (or water from other sources) from infiltrating under your shingles and causing damage to your roof structure or to the inside of your home
Provides an extra layer of protection between your shingles and your roof deck
Lays flat and will not buckle when installed
Helps reduce blow-off by allowing your shingles to lay flat and uniform

Why Take Risks?

A properly ventilated attic can help reduce the load on your air conditioner by moving the superheated air out of your attic before it builds up and causes damage.

During the winter, household appliances such as bathtubs and showers, as well as cooking vapors, can contribute to excess moisture build-up. In improperly ventilated attics, this moisture will collect and cling to the underside of the roof. It will then condense and fall, soaking the attic insulation and reducing its efficiency. There may be additional structural damage, including:

Warped roof decks and rotted wood frames
Mildew growth
Buckled shingles and felt

Finally, in cold northern climates, attics should be properly ventilated to help prevent ice dams. During the winter, ice and snow on a roof will melt and run down the deck to the cooler eaves. This run-off can re-freeze, creating an ice dam that will trap moisture on the roof. The moisture can eventually back up under the shingles and enter your home, causing hundreds or even thousands of dollars of damage to your ceiling and walls. Adequate attic ventilation will reduce the amount of initial melting that occurs on your roof, thereby reducing the chance that ice dams will form.
