If
you are like many people, roofing might not seem like
it's the most interesting part of your home - but, like
the tires on your car, it has to perform well under
extreme conditions.
Your roof spends the summer's sizzling temperatures of
150 degrees and then the freezing winters fighting back
ice dams that can push water up higher under the roof
tiles and into walls and ceilings.
Armadillo
expertly installs roofing products to
protect your home from these damaging harsh elements. Quality roofing
materials and our quality workmanship will protect all you have invested
in your home.
The type of roofing material used on a new roof depends on the slope or
pitch of the roof. A residence with a roof pitch of 5 or greater, which
most homes are, we use asphalt shingles in either the 3-tab or architectural
styles. These are fiberglass blended, and carry a 20, 25, or 30 year
warranty.
We are installers of: Certainteed,
Elk /
Gaf, Owens
Corning and Tamko
roofing products. (click name to visit mfg. sites)
If the roof pitch is between 2 and 5, we can still use asphalt shingles, but it
requires 100% coverage of “Ice & Water Shield” underlayment.
If the roof pitch is a 2 or lower, we consider those “Flat Roofing”, and
feel that would be more the specialty of a commercial
flat roofing company. They would use
either rubber membrane, or tar & gravel application.

Warning signs
that your roof may need replacement.
1. Water stains on ceilings
or walls.
2. Mold or mildew in your attic.
3. Curling or missing shingles
on your roof.
4. Finding shingles or fragments
of roofing on your lawn.
5. Rotted or damp wood in
your attic.
6. If your roof is more than 18
years old.
What is Ice and Water Shield? (Pictured above) It
is an underlayment product used by roofers to protect homes from ice
dam problems. These are tar-backed, rubber fronted 3’ rolls, that are
applied directly to the lower edges, valleys, chimney and skylight flashing
areas of roofs. We recommend to customers, 6’ of Ice and Water
Shield coverage on all lower edges, as opposed to 3 feet. Ice dam water problems
are much more likely on roofs with just 3 feet of coverage. Some
building codes require 6' of coverage.
