One thing that you will hear or should hear many roofing contractors talk about is the ventilation and insulation for your roof. These two things are the key to the durability of any roofing system.

There are many of us that know everything we need to know about your roof and understand the components and terms when it comes to roofing, but there are also many of you that either never had to deal with it or are new home owners and this information will be extremely useful for you to understand the components and terms used by contractors when it is time to replace or repair your roof. 

We all know too well what time of the year it is, Spring Cleaning. Many have already begun the process of cleaning out closets, garages, sheds and attics, but did you think about cleaning your roof? We tend to think more on cleaning up the yard and planting our gardens, but another area we need to think about cleaning up is our roof. Cleaning the roof can help extend the lifespan of our roofing system and as a bonus make it look good after harsh weather conditions.

We have talked about how important it is to have a maintenance program for your commercial roof. This checklist will help you to either set up a inspection for your roof or what you should expect from a roof maintenance inspection. 

Many wonder about the roofing contractor that installed their shingle roof because 5 years later or so they are needing to repair or even replace it. Sometimes it can be that the roofing contractor did not install it right. Always do your homework on the contractor you call to do your roof. But the other fact is that shingles do not have a definite lifespan. There is more research to do when you are remaining with or wanting a shingle roof.

This is something that many of us say to ourselves everyday in our shopping. This is especially a question we ask ourselves when we need something big either done or to purchase and the big question is usually what makes our decision and sometimes we may regret it. 

Three stores in a small shopping center in Vevay, Indiana had some issues of leaking and their roofing system coming apart with their flat roofs. The CVS, Cash Savers (IGA), and Family Dollar building owner signed up with Exterior Pro for the loved Duro Last roofing system. 

Lets face it, many of us tend to think about our roofs last after all the other important things we have to think about on a daily basis, whether it is our personal lives things to do or business things to do. Every once in a while we may glance at our roof at home or work and think I should probably take a look, or say it looks okay or wow what a mess. The bad thing is when something like a leak or wind damage happens, we know we got to get right on it. There are many things in live that can happen to our roof and one thing that can help us keep it in shape is to have a maintenance program. 

It is no secret that metal roofs are becoming more popular for many different reasons, to save on energy costs and installation costs. We published a blog on Metal Roof Myths in Indiana (http://www.exteriorproinc.com/blog/bid/338518/Indiana-Metal-Roofing-Myths) this year. If you read this article you probably have a better understanding that this is not always true and that there are more than one type of metal roof. Recently we have been asked to install metal roofs but when we asked about what type of metal, they do not know that there are other options than just pole barn metal.
