Hail damage in Kannapolis NC, Landis NC & China Grove NC

On the evening of Friday May 27, 2011 another hailstorm popped up in parts of Rowan and Cabarrus counties in NC. I was performing a roof inspection for a customer and about 5 minutes into the inspection it got real dark then the thunder began and with in two minutes the hail stones were pounding me in the head which of course made me get the hell off the roof...lol. It lasted about 5 to 7 minutes tops and most hail varied from pea sized up to golf ball sized hail and I even saw a few pieces that looked like tiny sheets of ice with rough edges.

I was in kannapolis nc about 1 mile from the North carolina research campus near mooresville rd (route 3). I live not far from that area myself and when I arrived home my yard was littered with sticks and leaves because I have massive oaks that surround my property. The next morning I drove around neighborhoods in Kannapolis, Landis NC and China Grove to see where the hardest hit areas were and talked to local residents. The damage appeared minimal in most areas but there were a few neighborhoods where folks cars had gotten dinged up pretty bad and their roofs were pretty battered, especially the 20 and 25 year shingles that were a bit older.

We have already patched a few leaks over the weekend and have done quite a few roof inspections for local residents in rowan county nc to assess their roof damage. If you happen to live in cabarrus or rowan county and would like us to come out please call us at 704 549-9393 or submit a request for a free roof inspection at http://www.room2roof.com or http://www.charlotteroofingcontractor.net .

Recent Charlotte NC | Fort Mill SC Hail Storms and the Storm Chasing Swine

hail damage in fort mill sc
For many local residents in fort mill sc, charlotte nc, rock hill sc, gastonia nc and surrounding areas it was a complete disaster. Many homes and vehicles suffered severe damage from baseball size hail that was spit from the sky saturday April 9, 2011 throughout the greater charlotte area. I've inspected over 70 homes this week and have seen broken windows, decimated patio furniture, siding that looked like someone went ballistic with a 12 gauge and roofs that had shingles sucked off by mother nature with impacts from hail that looked pock marks from the street below. Yes folks it was ugly and fort mill residents who got it the worst are still furious, and after this week I believe the rage will only increase for many.

One thing that really bothered me more than all of this damage, was the damage being done to unsuspecting homeowners seeking assistance and emergency repairs before it decides to rain again. Yes, the Storm chasers have landed by the squadrons with fancy wrapped vehicles sporting plates from states like georgia, ohio, virginia, colorado, texas, oklahoma and more all with a local charlotte nc or sc area number on the side. You see these teams of so called "Storm damage specialists" have been spewing B.S. like a 13 year old school boy trying to convince his buddies he's not a virgin anymore.

I heard things like "Yes maam that is correct your roof will be totally free, just sign here" or "We have been in the area for over 20 years now" all with a Virginia plate and a name like Carolina Roofing Company. I have inspected roofs and in the middle of talking to a customer a storm chaser walks up and interrupts trying to gain the homeowners attention, I gave him the look of doom so hard he ran back to his truck and peeled off. Imagine, the disrespect, the blatant lies (which by the way are illegal when I hear them saying they will pay their deductible) and the oversaturation of inexperienced roofing inspectors/sales reps out to cash in on the misery of local residents.

This brings up the whole reason I am writing this article: As a local customer in need of roofing, siding, possible window replacement and automobile repairs needing to be done do you want to hire some "slick willie" that strolls into town by convoy a day after disaster strikes leeching the community of their insurance claims checks, performing shoddy work and then leaving you like the teenage boy who told you he loved you back in high school just to put another notch on his belt? I should Hope not!!!

You Deserve better!.....Hire local reputable roofers in the charlotte nc, gastonia nc and fort mill areas who will be here next year and can provide a full workmanship warranty just in case a problem arises.
You will want to do a BBB check on the roofing contractor to make sure they have a good rating and also that they have not had any unanswered or unresolved complaints from customers in the charlotte nc area because this clearly shows that their concern for the customer is nada, not to mention unresolved issues say that they just want your money which usually means theyre willing to cut corners on materials and labor for installation hiring inexperienced roofing crews for a pawltry sum. Also check their insurance and workman's comp to see if they have it, if not you may be responsible for any problems that arise.

Alot of folks are also under the misconception that if a company does more than roofing that they are a "jack of all trades, master of none" and this is simply not the case. As a matter of fact Roofing is one of the easiest jobs to install in the construction field if you forget the dangers of working two or three stories up on a steep pitch. I have been installing roofs with my dad since I was about 12 years old and went to school for 4 years covering everything structural and non structural in the construction industry. My advice is to find a good well rounded knowledgable roofing and remodeling contractor that is willing to educate you on the process. You see, many roofers dont care or wont take the time help customers understand what a "complete roofing system" entails and all their options when it comes to replacing their roof.

Storm chasers usually focus on those insurance checks and skim over the details of a roofing system because they are not using all the proper quality components required to comprise a complete roofing system because they know it will cut their profits down, and bad local roofers will either not know or not care either. I always thought a roofer or remodeler is only as good as the products they use to complete the install. I've always started by tearing off the old roof, installing ice & water shield | leak barrier in the valleys, around pipes, chimneys, rakes and eaves and areas where the siding meets the roof such as a garage roof elevation. I then install drip edge around the perimeter of the home, after that, fiberglass or synthetic underlayment which blows aways felt paper by a long shot though slightly more money, it will make your roof lay flatter, be more water resistant and tear proof when the roofing crew is walking on it.

We always install "starter strip shingles" which have a seal strip right near the edge of the roof and will keep the shingles around the perimeter from wind lift during high winds, we replace all flashings starting with the chimney and build crickets where needed to diver water properly around chimneys. We install Lead boots and coat with High temperature accessory paint so you will never have a dry rotted boot cause a leak again.

We install our Roofing shingles with 6 nails to increase the wind rating up to 130 mph. We check all soffit vents to make sure there is unrestricted Air flow into the attic then we will install a high quality ridge vent like GAF cobra 3 to properly vent the attic from heat and moisture build up. We top it all off with Hip and Ridge shingles or  "caps" as old timers used to call them which are specifically designed to form around a ridge or hip on the roof and have a nailing strip which will keep them from tearing off easily. We also use sealants like Sonneborn NP1 to caulk all flashings and nail heads on the end of ridge shingles.

It is vital to  Hire a Local Roofing company in the greater charlotte area, do your homework and hire a competent contractor that uses a "roofing system" not just "shingles and paper" and make sure you're hiring a contractor that actually performed the work himself at one point in time and is not just some opportunist who never held a hammer.
