Is House Wrap Totally Necessary?

by

If you’re looking to have a siding replacement project soon, then you’ll need to consider having a new house wrap as well. A house wrap refers to a moisture and air barrier that helps improve your home’s safety and energy efficiency by supplementing its insulation. In today’s blog, the area’s top siding and roof repair contractor, Pechacek’s General Contracting, shares if house wrap is necessary.

House Wrap

What Is a House Wrap?

A house wrap is a barrier that protects your home from wind and moisture. It’s mostly made of permeable materials that allows water vapor to pass through, while preventing water droplets from getting through too. This, in turn, makes it easier for house wraps to dry quickly and prevent mold growth.

If your main goal in getting house wraps is to protect your home against wind damage, then the house wrap should seal gaps and leaks in the plywood or oriental standard board panels. This will prevent siding drafts that will harm your home’s insulation and energy efficiency. It will make your home much more comfortable and energy efficient in the long run.

Is a House Wrap Necessary?

To find out if a house wrap is necessary for your home, you’ll have to check your local building codes first. Consider consulting local home improvement contractors to find out the perfect house wrap for your home’s style. Generally speaking, house wraps are especially helpful for homes with wood, vinyl or aluminum siding. Wood siding features multiple seams with overlapping boards, making it vulnerable to moisture damage. On the other hand, vinyl and aluminum siding can also be affected by moisture due to the gaps where the panels are joined.

Why Should You Work With Local Roofers?

by

It’s important to take care of your roofing system since it’s one of the most important parts of your home. It protects you and your family from harmful elements, while keeping your home beautiful and energy-efficient. Also, roofing isn’t a DIY job, so it’s important to have it maintained, repaired or replaced by a professional for the best results. However, you can go one step further and work with a local roofing contractor. In today’s post, Pechacek’s General Contracting, a top roof repair company, shares why you should work with local roofers.

Work With Local Roofers

They Can Easily Reach Your Home

When you choose to work with a local roofing contractor, you’ll find a whole new world of convenience since their office is within your vicinity. This also means that your roofer can reach your home within minutes in case of a roofing emergency. You can also easily schedule a roofing job with them, or secure quotes since they can easily reach your location.

There’s also a high probability that your roofing contractor can supply you with a roofing quote if they’re already in your area. If there are any issues or mistakes that occur during the span of your roof replacement project, they can easily reach your area to rectify it.

Familiar With Local Permits and Regulations

When you’re working with a local roofer, you can rest assured that they know the ins and outs of the building permits and regulations. Keep in mind that these regulations can vary from state to state. This could be difficult when you’re working with an out-of-state roofer since they might not know all of the nuances of the permits and regulations. This isn’t the case with local roofers since they know these regulations like the back of their hand.

How to Avoid Getting Scammed By Storm Chasers

by

Finding the right roofing contractor following a storm can be challenging, especially if your roof suffered severe damage and requires an immediate repair or replacement. The urgency of the problem might make you feel impatient, but it is never a good idea to hire the first person you see. Most likely, this individual is a “storm chaser,” a roofer whose objective is to go door-to-door and offer inspections and repairs for free or even low rates, but leave with substandard roofing work—and your money.

How to Handle Roofing Emergencies

by

Your roofing system, including the gutter installation and other supporting structures, protects your home against the elements. Modern roofs are designed to withstand a wide range of extreme weather conditions and resist common problems. However, there will be times when a roof can fail and need repairs. This happens more frequently as the roof ages. For the most part, roofing troubles can be fixed by a professional, provided that they are done so promptly.

Roofing Emergencies

It can be difficult to know when you need urgent repairs. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to always call your local roofers as soon as you see any sign of a roofing problem. That said, certain problems can be considered an emergency and here are a few tips from our experts at Pechacek’s General Contracting on how to handle a roofing emergency.

What Can Be Considered an Emergency?

Homeowners who have no experience in roof care and maintenance may not fully understand the seriousness of certain roofing problems. Because of this, you should always treat any roofing problem as an emergency and call your local roofing contractor right away. Leaks, for example, are serious and can be easy to spot. For other problems, the symptoms may not be readily visible so it’s best to have a professional inspect your roof.

Storm Damage Repairs

Storms can be particularly damaging to roofs. The problem is that roofers may not get to your roof immediately if the storm is still raging. While you wait for the weather to clear up, take this time to call your contractor and schedule a thorough inspection of the whole roof.

Homeowners’ Insurance

Certain types of emergency roof repair jobs can be covered by your insurance, provided you take good care of your roof. Check your coverage to ensure that your roof is protected and make sure to document everything in case you need to file a claim.

Emergency or not, our team at Pechacek’s General Contracting are your leading provider of roof repair, maintenance and installation services. Give us a call at (715) 425-9801 or fill out our contact form to schedule an inspection or request a free estimate today. We serve homeowners in River Falls, Hudson and other nearby areas in WI.
