Having a well-maintained, functioning roof system over your head is one of the most important ways in which you can protect your home. Sometimes you may have obvious problems, such as leaking or water damage. Some of the other visible warning signs you will be able to observe are curling or rotting of shingles or shakes, damaged flashing, missing shingles, granular loss or moss / algae growth. Some warning signs, however, will not be so obvious and may require a trained professional performing a thorough inspection of the roof to identify. It is in your best interest to have an inspection done if you are experiencing any problems, or even if you think your roof may be reaching the end of its life.

The introduction of new technology has made slate more affordable, durable and functional for more homeowners.

It also weighs less than traditional slate, making it an option for many homes that could not handle the weight of a slate roof. American Custom Contractors offers EcoStar, Tamko Lamarite, and DaVinci Roofscapes to homeowners.

Composition & Architectural – Composition shingles are durable, with a wide variety of styles and colors that are sure to fit any budget. Architectural shingles can create a three-dimensional appearance, creating dramatic shadow lines on your roof.
