It is very common to use an asphalt roof in your houses. The asphalt is economical and you can get it in various colors and designs. It also offers a high resistance to fire, which is an additional advantage for home security. But they have a silent enemy, it's moss. Humid and cold conditions are conducive to the growth of moss.

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Augusta-Georgia, Grovetown, North Augusta and Martinez, we want to present some common effects of the growth of moss on an asphalt roof:

Accelerated wear
The moss retains water on the roof surface. then it acts as a catalyst in the wear of the asphalt. This effect is accentuated in subzero temperatures, where frosts are frequent. Cold climates can cause asphalt shingles to crack and break.

Decreased life
When the moss grows, it weakens the sealing of the tiles. The moss pushes up the asphalt shingles, which causes them to get discolored and get out. Because of this, it is likely that the roof does not last long.

Leaks
When there is a lot of moss on the asphalt roof, leaks are created. The moss prevents water from flowing down on the roof surface. The water is diverted to leave the roof sideways. This condition causes leakage under the shingles.


The moss can grow up to the tiles. What leaves the water to seep through the damaged areas and enter the house. What can cause major repairs to your entire house. To prevent or correct moss damage, consult specialists.

The best option is the reverse cover, this is more difficult to do and it is better to buy it.

If you are going to manufacture them, take measurements of the length and width of the gutters before purchasing the materials. Buy channel mesh or enough foams to cover the entire length of the channel.

For screen channel covers, measure the area of ​​the channel and with that mold cut the mesh and use that measurement to cut the correct pieces. Leave at least 2 inches of margin on the sides to make room for the clips or screws.


On the screen cover, screw each side securely on the roof and edge of the raceway. Leave a distance of 12 inches between the screws. Use a sealant to prevent the screw holes from causing water leakage.

Choose the color

Now you must choose the color of your vinyl. Vinyl siding by color is not always the same and may vary between manufacturers, but if you look at the grading panel in your siding package and notice any type of additional numbers of letters, this will be a qualification. . It is advisable to buy light colors if you do not have a budget to renew, since the darker vinyls will decolorize faster.

An idea to make vinyl siding more attractive

There are several types of coatings on the market, vinyl siding is very popular, because it is very economical and does not need much maintenance to stay healthy.

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Augusta-Georgia, Grovetown, North Augusta and Martinez, we give you an idea to make vinyl siding more striking and attractive :

The covering not only protects the outside of the house, but also gives an aesthetic appeal to the house. Vinyl siding, also called plastic or PVC cladding, offers the highest durability indices against other siding options since, because of its material, it is less prone to moisture seepage.

However, it seems to many that it does not offer many variants in visual and aesthetic terms. However, if you start to think creatively depending on the material and its cacateristicas, you can look at artistic possibilities to improve this. Here's an idea for owners who consider an exterior vinyl sliding installation.

Modify the way to install the cladding
Some call it coating cladding, what it does is change the visual appearance of uniformity and sometimes boring of the traditional installation.

The visual change with this form of installation is very noticeable with the effects that sunlight creates on the coating as it creates shadows that combat the excessive uniformity of the traditional installation.

To overcome this aesthetic barrier, vinyl sidings with thinner siding panels should be used.

Panels are often sold as vinyl laps. Thinner turns should be about 3 inches thick. The lower thickness makes the surface of the vinyl less noticeable. This is because when using thinner layers, more vinyl strips must be added. This causes more shadow lines to be caused along the horizontal face of the coating.


Shading helps to camouflage the 'plastic' and criticized appearance of an exterior vinyl siding. If this method is combined with basic ideas of color matching. as for example saws with lighter shades tend to make the house look bigger. On the contrary, the darker shades in the sidings give a more compact and cozy look to the house.

The importance of the gutters for our roofs

A gutter is simply a thin and shallow curve in a piece of metal, wood or vinyl that collects and transports rainwater or any liquid related to the weather that falls on the roof, so they are of great importance for the proper functioning of the roof and the protection of our construction.

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Augusta-Georgia, we are specialists in roofs and gutters, that's why in this article we want to share with you several key aspects

Gutters are used in all houses and buildings with sloping roofs or terraces. No matter where you live, a gutter is a standard part of the building code of a house. This is why they generate so many problems when they are not cleaned and controlled in an adequate or routine way. Since they are very important to the life of your roof, they should be monitored and inspected regularly to ensure there is a good flow of water through the gutter.

When a channel is obstructed, it will create a problem if it is not detected in time. This could cause an accumulation of rainwater that can damage or bring down our roof completely.

This damage by water can be isolated from roof tiles or can penetrate the roof and plaster panels and roof of the house generating humenades and fungi. The magnitude of damage it will cause will depend on how long the water remains stagnant.


This is why it is vital to count professionals both for the installation of roofs and gutters, as well as their constant maintenance.

Tips to keep the roof of your carport clean

If you want to keep the roof of your garage clean, it is important to clean it regularly. This will prevent dirt from accumulating and will help to be alert for any problems that arise and fix them in time. The cleaning process may vary depending on the material of the car port, but it is possible to apply some key tips that work in any type of car port.

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Augusta-Georgia, Grovetown, North Augusta and Martinez, we give you 3 tips to clean and keep the roof of your garage healthy:

Tip 1. Remove moss and debris:

When a roof is under large trees, it is likely to accumulate some moss or mold on the roof. Also, leaves and twigs that can fall on the roof. To clean this, mix a solution of 1 part bleach with 4 parts water in your bucket. Use the pressure washer to apply the solution to the ceiling, taking care to ensure that the most affected areas are completely soaked. Soak it for 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it with the pressure washer or garden hose. For areas where there is more accumulation, you may have to repeat this process until everything is completely clean.

Tip 2. Cut trees:

While the bleach solution dissolves the moss on the roof, you should trim any branches protruding from the roof of the carport. Since these branches are the cause of moss, it is also possible that the branches damage the roof with strong winds. If you observe that there are often birds that use the branches to perch, their droppings can also make the roof unsightly and can cause damage.

Tip 3. Deter the birds:

To keep your garage clean, you must prevent the birds from landing on it or nesting under it to sleep. Block all areas where you can rest and sprinkle or spray strong-smelling spices around the area.
