Every homeowner has reason to worry about mold. Mold and mildew leave unpleasant smells, and some molds can be dangerous to folks with weakened systems. Just how fast does mold grow after a water leak? Why is mold in the home dangerous? What can be done to stop it?  Ick! Mold spores are in every cubic foot of air. Most of these spores do not interact with us or cause any problems in our homes. Ample moisture and still air can combine to allow mold spores to settle and grow.  Black mold, the kind that causes shudders and worries doctors, can take hold on a surface in around three days, spreading invisibly but quickly to all surrounding, moist surfaces. After 18 days of propagation, black mold becomes slightly visible on walls, floors, your attic, and on any moist, slightly porous surface.  Left unchecked (or given additional moisture by well-intentioned amateurs), mold spreads quickly.

Several issues can also cripple the project and lead to a shortened lifespan for your roof, including improper installation and sub-par material use. So, what should you do? Simple.

They can help you pick components likely to last long in the prevailing conditions. A roofing contractor can also recommend tips for preventing premature damage, like using p...

You may have noticed the recent movement toward metal roofing for homes all over the country. What used to be an uncommon roofing material for residences has become a beautiful way to protect homes and families. But, some homeowners wonder whether it is possible to install metal roofing over the top of asphalt shingles. The short answer is, “It depends.” Here are a few factors to take into consideration as you seek to determine your next steps. Your Local Building Codes The first thing that comes into play will always be your local building codes. Any reputable contractor will adhere to what code says first and foremost.  In most areas, if you have only a single layer of shingles on your roof, you will be able to go over the top of them.  If you have two or more layers currently installed, you will likely have to have them removed by your roofer prior to your metal roof being installed State Of The Roof Deck You want to have a solid roof deck that is in good condition for your...
