Roof Replacement
If your roof is reaching the end of its lifespan and it's time to replace your roof, Skyward Roofing will provide a free roof replacement estimate without any strings attached. The best service that we can provide clients while building a replacement roof is to perform every step as roofing manufacturers intended. Which is why, we are confident the roofs we build will not leak and follow that up with guarantees. We do not cut corners on roof installs- we follow manufacturer installation instructions exactly.
You will not find another roofer that will replace your roof, the way the manufacturer expects, cheaper than we will. Our estimates cover quality underlayment, new flashings, new drip edge and proper number of nails placed in each shingle (some roofers save money by using less nails than they should). Abusing the proper roofing installation methods and hiring unskilled labor is how some roofers quote such low estimates. Replacing a roof way before its expected lifespan is the most expensive roof you'll ever buy when you hire one of these bad roofers.

- When an asphalt shingled roof has reached the grand old age of 20 or more years, it has pretty much outlived its functional usefulness. The shingles will look pretty rough, such as ceramic granule balding in some spots, cracked, broken, missing and moldy green and black spotting apparent all over the roof- this type of roof needs replacement. This roof attracts insects, rodents, nesting birds, and wasps because the protective barriers into the home are soft and easy to chew through. Many roof replacements have to deal with countless wasp nests among other unsavory critters. The excellence of installations depends not only on roofing materials but conscientious employees. Before work begins each day managers review with employees expected professional behavior and common installation errors.
- Metal Roof Replacement is generally needed for older metal roofs that have weathered for years in the sun, wind and rain. Metal coatings have improved in the last decade which will allow these roofs to last longer by repelling UV rays and moisture. When replacing a metal roof, a tear off of the old roof will be necessary if there are obvious depressions or valleys which is a sign that the roof may have damaged trusses. Damaged trusses can be checked by observing the roof deck from underneath, inside the building, close inspection will determine if they need replacement.
- Metal roofing has a greater longevity than asphalt and can look absolutely stunning, but most clients will still struggle with the higher costs over asphalt shingles and whether the payback in greater lifespan and home value is worth it.
- Metal Roofs are so lightweight that some styles can be applied over an existing roof without the need for a tear off or a buildup of structural support.
- Replacing an EDPM is often a last resort. Unlike other flat roof membrane systems that become brittle over time due to UV rays, EDPM maintains its strength and flexibility so any improving modifications are easily made. The membrane should be washed well before any attempt is made to cover it with repair patches. Some of these roofs are still functioning 50 years later with regular maintence.
- SPF Roofing Replacement or Installations needed for maintenance and repairs of damage cause by substandard original installation, severe storms and large hail. Renewals of the top coating layer is preformed to renew the weathering surface of the SPF system for additional durability and longevity. Also, coating renewals improve the surface reflectivity, improve its looks and/or change the color. In a damaged SPF roof, there is economic advantages to removing the specific damaged roofing material, adding SPF foam to level the roof and then a new top recoat. Following the preceding steps of a SPF roof renewal, will eliminate the cost of tear off and disposal and yield a new warranty.

Roof Repairs
Roof Leaks in the home are the one failure that grabs attention because people know moisture damage leads to all sorts of bad things, such as wood rot, electrical shorts, and ruined carpet. However, sometimes the worse leaks are the ones you don’t know about until one or more of the family members gets sick from the mold growing around the roof leak that lies hidden. Need more information on roof repairs- Click Here!
Commercial Roof Leaks can sometimes be fixed easily, for example debris on the roof may have penetrated the waterproof membrane, drains for water removal could be blocked, and vent and pipe penetrations may need sealing. Some leaks require a far more experienced commercial roofer, such as layers of waterproof membrane may need to be peeled back to find an elusive split in the membrane. Clogged drain pipes may need to be disassembled to be cleared and pests that may have penetrated the roof by chewing through sealant or worn areas of the roof will have to be removed.

- Asphalt Shingles roof repair usually means fixing a leak that may be hard to find. Leaks on asphalt roofs occur mostly at weak points around perforations at vent stacks, chimneys and skylights. Leaks also occur because of lax installation protocols, inadequate attic ventilation, and storm damage. Don't assume that because you have a roof leak you need a roof replacement. Instead, contact a roofer they might be able to make a quick repair to your leaky roof.
- Metal roofs repairs are usually due to problems with oxidation and leaks. Most leaks occur at flashings around roof penetrations, seams or panel fasteners backing out. With the passing of years fasteners have a tendency to back out of their seated position- probably due to wind uplift vibrating the panels. Oxidation on a metal means the protective coating has worn away. The oxidation damage, if there is no hole, can be wire brushed or sanded out then repaired with metal primer followed with paint the same color of the roof.
- EDPM Roof leaks occur along flashings, seams, storm damage to membranes and punctures along high traffic areas (sometimes employees will use the flat roof as a work space). Periodic roof inspections carried out on a preventative maintenance program offered by Skyward Roofing can provide maintenance that will forestall preventable emergency failures or leaks.
- The TPO Roof needs to be checked regularly for debris, worn areas along seams, and ponding of water- mostly after storms or a service repair to a component on top of the roof. Sharp objects, such as tree branches could have been blown on the roof during a storm or a service provider could have dropped tools on the roof during a repair. Critters, such as squirrels and mice could have chewed openings into the roof membrane to nest. These opening will also allow moisture infiltration causing roof decay and perhaps a mold infestation.
- In a damaged SPF roof, there is economic advantages to removing the damaged roofing material, adding SPF foam to level the roof and then a new top recoat. Following the preceding steps of a SPF roof renewal, will eliminate the cost of tear off and disposal and yield a new warranty. For further information about SPF roofs, Click Here!

- Asphalt Shingled Roofs can sometimes hide leaks as it takes the least restrictive path to ground which can even mean water will flow uphill.We are the absolute best at finding roof leaks other roofing contractors can't- our inspectors are trained in the science of water flow through a homes internal framing. Challenge Skyward Roofing to solve a roof leak you can’t trace but know is there because somehow an interior corner of your kitchen’s ceiling drips with moisture every time it rains. We have years of experience taking on tricky roof problems, and haven’t come across one yet that we couldn’t fix.
- Metal Roofing is costlier that the least expensive asphalt roofing, but has a longer lifespan and better fire and wind resistance. This lightweight option is made of steel, zinc alloy, copper or aluminum. Copper roofs are installed unfinished and eventually develop a green patina over time. Steel roofing commonly comes with a painted finish or zinc coating. Residential metal roofs are generally more attractive over large commercial roofing.
- Slate Roofing the most expensive roofing option to install has a very beautiful unpolished stone look in a large variety of colors, such as gray green, purple, black, red, and a combination mottled look with several colors blended in. Most historical homeowners opt for this roofing type. Want to learn more about Slate Roofing- Click Here!

- Metal roof repair because of hail storms are mostly due only to very large stones that may put deep dents in the metal roof. Deep dents need to be fixed because the galvanized coating could be cracked and as water pools in the dent it will eventually lead to rust causing the metal to deteriorate. Whereas, minor denting with a textured metal roof is not in great danger of rusting nor is the denting readily visible from the street level. Any type of roof should be checked after bad storms, as it's best to quickly take care of roof damage before it worsens.
- Replacement of metal roofs usually occur with older roofs that are showing a lot of rusty decay or a very terrible storm blew through and took part of the roof with it. Much of the tear off of the old roof can be recycled or even sold to a metal collection site.
- Commercial and light industrial metal roofs are generally built of large low-maintenance corrugated metal panels. They are quick to install and many upgraded options are available, such as insulated panels and UV coatings. Plus, there are many decorative finishes to choose from.
- Residential metal roofs can be built of elegant decorative tiles chosen to give a sleek modern look to a home as well as a much-improved lifespan over 3-tab asphalt shingles, but also at a much higher cost. Metal panels are also popular for a simple attractive roofing style.
- During the roof assessment, we also discuss the clients’ future plans for the property, age of roof and any recent repairs. The written repair estimate will be based on the roof’s assessment. We always, when possible, suggest repair first, and offer affordable options when replacement is advised.

Repairing a Slate Roof

- Slate performs well as roofing: It’s very dense structure makes it water repellent, fireproof and it withstands freezing and thawing cycles well. Slate has been used as a highly successful roofing material since the 13th century. Thus, we have centuries of performance history, to repair or build incredibly long lasting protective roofs.
- Inspection needs to be directed by experienced slate roofers because they preform tests that require knowledge of what a sound slate tile sounds like when its hit versus a decaying slate tile. However, if you see any white powder on the tiles that will give an indication of minerals leaching from the slate. Mineral leaching will indicate that the slate tile was inferior from the beginning or you truly have a very old roof that has spent decades weathering. A few years back some roofers were importing slate tiles from china which are often much softer than American slates. Sadly, people didn’t realize the distinction till the premature decay of their new slate roof. Skyward Roofing only uses the best roofing slates available- not the soft crumbling ones.

- A roof leak can cause many problems within a business, such as ruined inventory, damage to inner walls, possible mold growth, and ruined carpet. A wet spot on the drop ceiling can quickly turn into an ever-widening puddle of disaster to your revenue. Skyward Roofing has emergency teams that we can send rapidly to your place of business.
- Flat commercial SPF Roofs should be inspected at least 2 times a year. This is more often than sloped ones mainly because what drops, blows in or crawls on will stay on the roof till somebody takes it off. Gravity does not help move debris on a flat roof. We suggest letting Skyward Roofing look at your roof sometime in the Summer and Winter, and after bad storms blow through.
- You are encouraged to follow our Inspector during the roof’s assessment as it will aid communications and all-around understanding. They will look at points of deterioration, compromised accessories in need of repair, safety concerns, mold and mildew remediation and debris removal assessment. Photographs of troubled areas will be taken to illustrate the inspectors’ findings, and will be included on the written assessment. Our primary goal is promoting a cost effective long-lasting repair to the fault in the roof. In the event, repair is not possible a budget friendly replacement solution will be detailed.
- Most reports for roof repair can be prepared in a day, whereas a full roof replacement report may take a few days. We need this time to factor in labor, material, and equipment costs- we try to come up with the most economical solutions factored in with your desires.

Flat Roof are Popular Because…
They are less expensive than a sloping roof for large buildings (they require less material), they also allow for more usable conditioned space because building elements can be built into a flat roof system. They are much easier to inspect because there is no danger of falling off like with a sloped roof. However, they also require frequent inspections and repairs, develop many leaks over their lifespan, the dark flat roofs are energy inefficient because they reflect back very little of the sun heat, and ponding of water is often a problem. In recent years, technology has improved the heat efficiency of flat roofs with white coatings or membranes now available that will reflect back nearly 4/5 of the sun’s rays (according to studies done by their manufacturers).

In recent years, technology has improved the heat efficiency of flat roofs with white coatings or membranes now available that will reflect back nearly 4/5 of the sun’s rays (according to studies done by their manufacturers).
- Property owners have always sought out affordable, durable and long-lasting roofing systems that are also low maintenance with a high insulation factor. SPF (Spray-Polyurethane-Foam) Roofing systems are affordable, long-lasting (the foam doesn’t degrade with protection from the sun) and is energy efficient. SPF Roofing systems have been used for about 40 years- enough time to educate the industry how to best install and maintain them.
- Experienced SPF Roofing Operator is a Necessity. Extensive training and experience is needed for a proper SPF Roof application. The applicator has to keep a very steady hand while spraying as any deviation will produce peaks and valleys which will lead to water pooling on the roof. Pooling water will decay the protective silicone coating reducing the lifespan of the roof. It should also be applied on a dry calm day- no wind to blow the spray to somewhere not wanted. The best way to train excellent SPF Roofers is giving plenty of practice sessions and on the job training with experienced roofers. Skyward Roofing does not send ill trained employees out to learn by making mistakes on clients roofs.
- TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single ply roofing membrane that comes in variable lengths up to 100-foot-long and either 6 to 12 feet wide. Thermoplastic is a plastic or synthetic substance that softens when heated but hardens upon cooling. It is a thin rubber like membrane with a reflective white top. TPO sheets contain flame retardants, UV absorbers, and other secret ingredients to achieve desired properties.
- TPO membranes most positive attributes are flexibility which allows for a building’s movement during seasonal changes, repels damaging ultraviolet rays and resists dirt and bacteria build-up. Also, the TPO hot welded seams are much stronger than EPDM adhesive and taped seams. Finally, TPO membranes offer homeowners and businesses an innovative, energy-efficient and cost-effective roofing solution.
- EPDM Rubber- ethylene propylene diene monomer is used to create a rubberized roofing membrane sold in a range of widths of 7.5 to 50 feet and in 2 thickness, 45 and 60 mils. It can be installed as one complete membrane or one with seams connected with adhesives or specially formulated tape. Our employees are top performers they know the quality of a flat roof installation is key to building our business. When there are no call backs to fix roofing installations, our employees benefit with a bonus. No worries over leaks or ponding on rubber membrane roofs gives our happy clients reason to recommend our services to others. For more information on EPDM roofing- Click Here!
- Roof Inspections are based on educated observations of exterior condition of the roofing system that can be explained and pointed out to our potential clients. If the roof fault lies out of sight of the client, pictures will be taken by the inspector to aid in the discussion of problems to be address. The interior condition of the roof deck as observed from inside the attic (if accessible). Other information is gathered including age of roof, recent repairs and future plans for the property. All information is processed to provide the best estimate for your unique circumstance.
TPO Roofer
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single ply roofing membrane that comes in variable lengths up to 100-foot-long and either 6 to 12 feet wide. Thermoplastic is a plastic or synthetic substance that softens when heated but hardens upon cooling. It is a thin rubber like membrane with a reflective white top. The melted polymer is put under pressure in extruder which pushes it out to large calendaring rolls which forms it into a sheet. TPO sheets contain flame retardants, UV absorbers, and other secret ingredients to achieve desired properties. TPO membranes are less expensive then PVC sheets. PVC sheets are reinforced with polyester or glass-fiber mats and come in colors and has a longer lifespan.
- TPO Roofs need regular inspections in order to check for worn or damaged areas. The waterproof TPO membrane can be injured by debris being blown on the roof during severe storms or being dropped on the roof from overhead trees. Critters, such as squirrels and mice will crawl through vents and gaps in areas where pipe and cables go into the building. These openings also allow moisture infiltration, and will cause roof decay and promote a mold infestation. These regular inspections will enable minor repairs at the beginning of a fault- encouraging a long functional lifespan for the TPO roof.
- TPO Roofing Repair: Fixing problems on a TPO flat roof can be troublesome because there is a common misconception that the existing membrane surface does not have to be scrupulously cleaned to accept the repair patch. Many novice repairs fail to bond because the prep work hasn’t been done (trying to save time). Best way to check bonding of a TPO patch is to check the sealed edge of the patch by trying to slip something thin under it. When proper bonding between the original TPO and the patch doesn’t occur, water will seep under the patch and onto the roof mostly unseen till the damage shows up on the ceiling in the building below.
- We offer a free roof inspection, at your convenience, that will evaluate the health of your roof’s system. We will provide you with a detailed written report explaining the health of your roof, potential problems, estimate of its additional life expectancy, and finally budget friendly solutions to any problems found. Our Flat Roof Inspectors are few of the best highly trained employees we have.
EDPM/Rubber roofer
Most large commercial building’s roofs are flat partly because mechanical building components (HVAC, fire sprinklers and firestops) can be placed on the flat roof thereby increasing the usable space within the building. Plus, they are cheaper to build (less building material required), less volume of useless attic space. EDPM roofs withstands extreme temperatures- no worries over cracking or splitting in freezing temperatures.
- Leaks on an EDPM commercial roof can sometimes be fixed easily, for example debris on the roof may have penetrated the waterproof membrane, drains for water removal could be blocked, and vent and pipe penetrations may need sealing. Some leaks require a far more experienced commercial roofer, such as layers of waterproof membrane may need to be peeled back to find an elusive split in the membrane. Clogged drain pipes may need to be disassemble to be cleared, and pests that may have penetrated the roof by chewing through sealant or worn areas of the roof will have to be removed.
- EDPM roofs lifespan can hit 50 years or longer because modern rubber is not affected by the sun’s UV rays- this does assume routine maintenance has taken place. Commercial and Residential property owners most often choose EDPM because of its long lifespan and relative easy maintenance- No gravel to hide problems.
- We protect against shoddy work by paying attention during the roof repair/replacement. We know from many years of experience in the roofing business how long a task should take to do right and become alarmed when they move along too fast. We have made it quite clear to our roofing crews that we want quality over speed- they are not harassed to move faster. As a backup check for quality, each job site is supervised closely by a roofing crew manager with years of experience. Our roofers will not take short cuts to try and move things along faster and easier. Faster and easier seldom means adequate or better.

Metal Roof Installed Over Shingles

Metal Roof Rusting Underneath Coating
|
Metal shingles are usually made of common metals, such as galvanized steel, aluminum and to a lesser extent copper and zinc are manufactured with a stamping press. They come in many styles (natural slate or cedar) and colors. The low-profile shingle allows the roofer to walk on them, during the installation, without damage which makes them a little easier to install the panel type. They are made to interlock with other shingles with nails going in at one corner to hold the line.
Metal panels come in 3 options a foam insulation backed panel, exposed fastener and seamless interlocking panel. Speed of installation is quick especially with the larger panels. Note: Large panels of metal roofing will expand and contract with the weather so they need to be install with special fasteners to allow this movement.
Metal panels come in 3 options a foam insulation backed panel, exposed fastener and seamless interlocking panel. Speed of installation is quick especially with the larger panels. Note: Large panels of metal roofing will expand and contract with the weather so they need to be install with special fasteners to allow this movement.
- Repairing a metal roof: Metal roof oxidation and leaks should be fixed by an expert- a novice repair is more than likely to be short lived. Most leaks occur at flashings around roof penetrations, seams or panel fasteners backing out. With the passing of years fasteners have a tendency to back out of their seated position- probably due to wind uplift vibrating the panels. Proper materials need to be used for the repairs to last- some novice roofers use tar to fix leaks on any roof. Manufactures advise how to repair their metal roofs, and at Skyward Roofing we follow those methods. We never short cuts in our roof repairs.
- Replacing a metal roof can lead to unexpected complications. You may find damage under your shingles or panels, more than you thought possible, and it will lead to greater expenses. Because of the complexity and overwhelming nature of the job your much better off finding an experienced roofer than suffering through someone else’s learning curve.
- Residential Metal roofs need insulation just like other roofing types. Ever take a trip up to your attic to retrieve an occasionally used object during a hot day and you could barely stand the heat and humidity while up there and were glad to get back to your air-conditioned space. All that heat and humidity caught in your attic space is very hard on your metal roof also and may lead to its premature failure .
- Metal Commercial roofs are similar to residential roofs except they may have a few more roof penetrations, such as venting for ovens, exhaust hoods, and air exchange systems. Depending on type of business restaurant, small grocery, or meat market they could be faced with more pest issues which will factor into specifics of the inspection. Experience is the key to successful commercial roof evaluations- having an idea of what problems to look for makes it more probable they will be discovered and tried and true solutions can then be promoted.
- Metal Roof installation costs:
- Steel costs from 5,500 to 19,000
- Aluminum is lighter in weight and costs from 11,000 to 24,000
- Copper costs from 25,000 to 39,000
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofer
Property owners have always sought out affordable, durable and long-lasting roofing systems that are also low maintenance with a high insulation factor. SPF Roofing systems are affordable, long-lasting (the foam doesn’t degrade with protection from the sun) and the foam is energy efficient. SPF Roofing systems have been used for about 40 years- enough time to educate the industry how to best install and maintain them. One problem property owners have is finding those contractors that do have such knowledge and experience.
- SPF Roofing: Proper training and experience is needed in the application process because novice users are apt to leave ridges and valleys in the foam during application. Skyward Roofing SPF applicators have to pass several performances tests, and accompany others to job sites applying the foam before they are allowed to control the application.
- Environmental Conditions Temperature recommendations by the specific SPF manufacturer must be followed or blistering will occur leading to open pockets within a closed cell foam plane- not good for longevity. The humidity should be below 5 degrees of dewpoint- so if its very humid on the application day put it off till the humidity goes down. There should be no dampness present on the surface to be covered as the foam will not adhere. Barriers should be set up to protect against overspray should a light wind pick up.
- SPF roofing systems have great adhesion properties to many common roof substrates (roofing deck), including metal, wood, concrete and BUR (built up roofing). Since SPF adds little weight to existing roof coverings it can be used to recover a roofing system without a tear off of the old one. However, the existing roof must be cleaned of all oil spills and loose debris to ensure a good adherence.
- SPF Roofing Repairs: Maintenance is the best repeated procedure taken with a flat SPF roofing system, that includes a anti UV coating, that will guarantee a very long lifespan. Any gouge, impact crater, puncture or damage caused by careless service repair person taking care of the mechanical systems on your buildings flat roof, repaired promptly will allow the roofs insulation factor to remain strong. And repairing the top coating as needed, will continue to protect the foam from degrading UV- rays and the dwelling from the ravages of nature.

Basement Waterproofing
|
- Polyurea is a liquid or spray coating that is used successfully for waterproofing flat roofs, basements, parking garages, flooring and reservoirs/tanks linings (even ok for drinking water tanks). Polyurea forms a seamless monolithic waterproof coating over surfaces that not only protects against leaks, rust, erosion, and will also stretch and shrink during climate change. Need more information about Waterproofing- Click Here!
- Poured concrete walls will leak along the floor/wall joint because it is the weakest point. Even seepage through the walls can occur as the water pressure from outside the foundation builds up (why gutters and downspouts are important).
- Concrete block walls will commonly leak along the floor/wall joint and between the mortar joints between the concrete blocks if the outside water pressure is high enough. Also, the hollow cores in concrete block can fill with water which will cause leaking for some time after all has dried up outside. Water is a very formidable force of nature and hard to hold back when there are cracks to flow into and beyond.
- Clay tile walls found on historic dwellings will mostly leak at the floor/wall joint and the joints between clay tiles are also common places to leak. Clay tiles also have hollow cores that can form a reservoir of water to continually leak into the basement.
- Polyurea coatings are sprayed onto the walls and joints of the damp basement till the coating is about as thick as a dime to create the protective barrier. Preparations before spraying take longer than the application.
- All will be done to provide a budget friendly solution to waterproof your basement. We will not advise expensive solutions when less costly ones are suitable.
