The Difference in Shingles

They consist of a rectangular shingle onto which additional pieces of shingle have been adhered in a somewhat random pattern which gives them additional thickness and the appearance of depth. There are no rain lines, so the only pattern is formed by the horizontal rows of shingles. Most installers will include a high-profile ridge cap in a matching color to compliment the dimensional shingle.

Insurance Extension Request Due

As August 10th approaches Iowa homeowners affected by the 2020 Derecho may learn that they are at risk of losing their Recoverable Depreciation and their opportunity to file suit against their insurers, which could result in them being left without the money required to have their properties returned back to pre-storm condition

Iowa Policy Limits, May be too Limiting

Job site safety really starts when you make the decision of which contractor to use. Would you select the professional contractor that does everything by the book? Or would you go with the less reputable guy who gives you an unbelievably low estimate, or promises to waive your deductible on an insurance claim? Guess which one is probably going to have a greater regard for job site safety.

Will my roof be done by the holidays?

As out-of-town contractors continue to descend on South Florida in an attempt to make a quick buck, it is refreshing to know there are still some local companies around who value the communities in which they work. These local companies are invested in the communities they serve, and sincerely want to help the residents most affected by Hurricane Irma. American Building Contractors (ABC) has been working with Homeowners, Property Managers, and Board Members across the State of Florida since 2004. After hurricane Irma, ABC witnessed the devastation in Collier and Lee County and adopted the Goodland community.

What’s With These Guys Knocking on Our Door – Hail Storms 2020

Hail falls and/or severe winds whip through a section of town and ten minutes later the streets are lined with pickup trucks and contractors start going door-to-door to offer a free inspection to check for damage. Sound/look familiar?

How Insurance Companies Determine if a Damaged Roof Warrants Replacement

Hail damage to many areas of the home will be obvious. Metal siding, fascia, and window wraps will be dented. Vinyl siding can be chipped or cracked by hail. Screens will be torn, air conditioner fins will be flattened, the paint will chip, wood can be dented or pock-marked. Damage to an asphalt roof can be much less obvious and therefore it will be much more challenging to determine to what extent the roof has been affected.

Breathe Roof, Breathe!

Did you know that, just like you, an asphalt shingle roof needs to breathe? Cool, dry air must be drawn in along the eaves (usually through the soffit) and warm moist air must be exhausted as close to the ridgeline as possible, creating a flow that should completely turn-over the air in the attic space. Having adequate balance of intake and exhaust venting is the most important thing a Homeowner, Property Manager or Owner can do to get the optimum life from asphalt shingles. An abundance of either vent (intake or exhaust) does not make up for a lack of the other.

Iowa Storm | Home Repair

Iowa experienced catastrophic wind damage from the Derecho similar to a hurricane. Storm companies are experts at dealing with hail storms. ABC has decades of experience dealing with hurricane wind damage AND the Insurance Restoration Process.

How Do You Know If It’s Time for a New Asphalt Roof

Unless you have residents calling you up every time it rains, you probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about replacing your old, sloped, asphalt shingle roofs. On the surface, this makes perfect sense. You don’t change a light bulb just because it’s been in the lamp for a long time; you wait until it burns out. Unfortunately, the two situations are not analogous. A burned-out bulb may be inconvenient, but it is not causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to your building until you can swap it out. Also, when you do decide to replace your roof you can’t just run down to Walgreens and buy one with the change you find in your couch cushions.

Iowa Storm – Frequently Asked Questions

A lot of homeowners are still scrambling to find contractors and wondering what will happen come winter when their roof, siding, and windows are still damaged and their insurance company hasn’t agreed to pay for all the damage.

Can You Install an Asphalt Shingle Roof During the Winter?

For the most part, people who live in cold weather states understand that the spring, summer, and early fall are the ‘roofing seasons’. People in these areas budget and plan to get their roofs done when the days are long and the temperatures are mild. But sometimes things happen and people get put into situations where they need to get a roof installed during the winter months. Perhaps the home is being sold and a new roof becomes a contingency of that sale.

2020 Derecho Frustrations

When you have multiple contractors working on your home, dealing with a variety of trades and something goes wrong, all the contractors have the opportunity to point fingers at one another. This leaves you in the terrible position of having to determine who is responsible for what and the potential of no one solving the problem. A General Contractor will select all of the tradesmen who work for them (not you) so if something goes wrong, the liability falls solely on the General Contractor.
