Not all roof damage is obvious from the ground, but this is a clear sign of a roof reaching the end of its life.
Here, our team found shingles that have lost most of their granules, exposing the fiberglass layer underneath. Those granules aren’t just for looks. They play a critical role in protecting your roof from UV rays and long-term wear.
Once that protection is gone, the shingles break down much faster, increasing the risk of leaks and further damage.
This is why regular inspections matter. Catching issues like this early can help you plan ahead before bigger problems show up.
If you’re unsure about the condition of your roof, it might be time to have it checked.
Most homeowners don’t realize there are problems hiding in their roof until it’s too late.
In this video, our team walks through some of the most common shingle issues we see in the field. These things aren’t always obvious from the ground but can lead to costly damage over time. With real examples and photos, we break down what to look for and why it matters.
Understanding these warning signs can help you catch small issues early and protect your home long-term.
If you’re unsure about the condition of your roof, don’t wait. Reach out to schedule an inspection. We’re here to help you stay ahead of problems before they turn into major repairs.
Not all siding installs are done correctly, and this is a great example of what to avoid.
In this video, our team points out stacked siding seams and explains why they can become a problem over time. When seams line up too closely, it increases the chances of water finding its way behind the siding.
Proper installation means spacing seams appropriately, in this case, about 16 inches apart. This will help reduce water intrusion and improve the long-term performance of your siding.
It’s small details like this that make a big difference in protecting your home.
What actually holds a metal roof in place?
In this video, our project manager breaks down the clip system used in metal roofing.
Clip systems secure the panels while allowing for natural expansion and contraction as temperatures change. This helps improve durability, reduce maintenance, and extend the life of the roof.
It’s one of the key details that makes metal roofing such a reliable, long-term solution, especially in climates like the Pacific Northwest.
Fresh concrete needs more than just a good pour, it needs proper curing and preparation.
Especially on hot days like this, it’s important to keep the surface wet. This helps the curing process and allows the concrete to gain strength properly. Kelly also added relief cuts to help prevent cracking.
These small details make a big difference in the long-term durability of the slab, especially on a large project like this warehouse build.
Part 1 of this metal roof installation and we’re already setting the tone for the entire project.
In this video, our crew is installing 40-foot-long metal panels, which requires careful planning, precision handling, and an experienced team to get everything aligned properly. Panels at this length aren’t just about efficiency. They help reduce seams, which means fewer potential leak points and better long-term performance.
Getting these panels installed correctly from the start is critical. Every measurement, alignment, and fastening decision plays a role in how this roof will perform over time, especially in the PNW climate. This is where quality installation makes all the difference.
Stay tuned as we continue the process and bring this roof together.
A beautiful home doesn’t always mean a protected home.
During this project, our team uncovered wood rot caused by water intrusion from missing flashing details. Over time, water was able to get behind the system, causing the wood to deteriorate and lose its ability to protect the home.
Flashing plays a critical role in directing water away from vulnerable areas of a home. When those details are missed, small issues can turn into major repairs.
This is why proper installation and water management matter.
Metal roofing isn’t just a trend, it’s a long-term upgrade.
In this video, we share some of the benefits of metal roofing, and why more homeowners are choosing this option. These roofs are known for their durability, longevity, and protection against harsh weather. From standing up to the Pacific Northwest climate to requiring less maintenance over time, metal is built to perform.
We also cover some lesser-known benefits, like the ability to change colors without a full replacement and the fact that metal roofing materials are recyclable.
Let us know what questions you have about metal roofing.
This is what a large-scale metal roofing project looks like.
For this 22,000 sq ft roof, we’re making panels on-site using Nu-Ray’s metal machine.
With panels reaching 85.5 feet long, this project requires precision, planning, and the right equipment to get the job done correctly.
From coil-fed to installation, every step is handled with attention to detail to create a durable metal roof system built to perform.
Follow along as we bring this massive project to life.
