  • How long should an asphalt shingle roof last on a Minnesota home?
    The lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof can vary depending on several factors including the quality of materials, installation, weather conditions, and maintenance. In Minnesota, where harsh winters and fluctuating temperatures are common, asphalt shingle roofs typically last between 15 to 30 years. High-quality asphalt shingles combined with proper installation and regular maintenance can extend the lifespan towards the higher end of that range, whereas lower quality materials or poor installation may result in a shorter lifespan. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can also help prolong the life of the roof.
  • What could shorten the life of an asphalt shingle roof?
    Several factors can shorten the life of an asphalt shingle roof, particularly in a place like Minnesota with its harsh winters and extreme temperature fluctuations. Here are some common factors: Poor Installation: Improper installation of asphalt shingles can lead to premature roof failure. This includes improper nailing, inadequate ventilation, incorrect flashing, and improper application of underlayment. Inadequate Ventilation: Poor attic ventilation can lead to heat and moisture buildup, which can accelerate the deterioration of asphalt shingles. It can also contribute to the formation of ice dams in winter, which can cause water damage to the roof. Extreme Weather: Severe weather conditions, such as heavy snow, ice storms, hail, and high winds, can damage asphalt shingles and shorten their lifespan. UV Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause asphalt shingles to deteriorate over time, leading to cracking, curling, and fading. Poor Maintenance: Neglecting regular roof maintenance, such as cleaning gutters, removing debris, and inspecting for damage, can lead to minor issues escalating into major problems that shorten the lifespan of the roof. Biological Growth: Moss, algae, and lichen growth on asphalt shingles can trap moisture, accelerate deterioration, and cause premature aging of the roof. Heavy Foot Traffic: Walking on the roof, especially by inexperienced individuals or contractors who are not careful, can cause damage to the shingles and shorten their lifespan. Impact Damage: Falling branches, debris, or hail can cause physical damage to asphalt shingles, leading to leaks and premature failure. Chemical Exposure: Exposure to certain chemicals, such as those from nearby industrial sites or improperly installed vent pipes, can degrade asphalt shingles and shorten their lifespan. Addressing these factors through proper installation, regular maintenance, and timely repairs can help extend the lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof.
  • Will you fix my roof leak?
    Roof leaks can arise from various sources such as storm damage, flawed construction details, or simply due to the aging of the roof. Moreover, the absence of visible indoor water spots doesn't necessarily mean the absence of a problem. Hidden leaks can silently wreak havoc by rotting wood sheathing and framing, compromising insulation, and fostering the growth of dangerous mold within wall and ceiling spaces. Trust the expertise of Velos Construction's professionals to pinpoint the source of the leak and provide a lasting solution.
  • Will storm damage to my roof, siding, windows, gutters, and deck be easily noticeable?
    Velos Construction's storm specialists are highly skilled at detecting surface damage resulting from severe weather, even if it isn't immediately visible. These subtle indicators of storm damage may escape notice from ground level. Climbing onto roofs to photograph storm damage puts homeowners at unnecessary risk. If you suspect damages, contact Velos Construction immediately.
  • Does Velos Construction offer financing?
    Yes, Velos Construction collaborates with several leading finance companies to provide clients with the most competitive rates.
  • What brands of roofing products does Velos Construction sell and install?
    Velos Construction is proud to be a preferred installer for GAF. However, we also offer installation services for a wide range of other reputable brands, including IKO, Certainteed, Malarky, Owens Corning, Tamko, Edco, Boral, and DECRA, upon request. Our product offerings span architectural shingles, shakes, clay tile, and slate, available in various colors. We're committed to providing unbiased and educational guidance to help you select the perfect product for your home.
  • How does steel roofing compare to asphalt shingle, cedar shake and slate and tile roofing?
    Overall, steel roofing offers a durable, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient alternative to traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles, cedar shake, slate, and tile. However, the choice ultimately depends on factors such as budget, aesthetic preferences, and regional climate considerations.
  • Is there an extended warranty for GAF shingles?
    Velos Construction, a preferred installer for GAF, ensures that GAF shingles come with extended warranties. These warranties vary depending on the specific product line and the level of warranty protection selected. GAF's warranties typically include coverage against manufacturing defects, as well as protection against certain types of damage such as wind and algae growth. The most common types of extended warranties offered by GAF include System Plus Limited Warranty, Silver Pledge™ Limited Warranty, and Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty. It's essential to review the specific terms and conditions of the warranty and consult with a GAF-certified roofing contractor like Velos Construction to determine the best warranty option for your needs. Additionally, warranty registration and proper installation by a GAF-certified contractor are usually required to activate the warranty coverage.
