VIRAL, SHE HAS TO PAY TAXES ON
THAT STUFF.
WON'T COST 400 GRAND, BUT
REPLACING YOUR ROOF CAN COST A
BUNDLE.
THE BUSIEST SEASON IS GETTING
UNDERWAY NOW.
>> Tati: HOW DO YOU KNOW IF
YOU NEED A NEW ROOF?
DON'T WAIT FOR THE LEAK WHEN
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR.
OUR HOME IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR
ADAM HAS THE ANSWERS.
>> MANY HOMEOWNERS ASK ME WHEN
THEY NEED A NEW ROOF.
I TELL THEM TO GO TO THE STREET
AND LOOK AT THE ROOF AND LOOK
FOR DARK SPOTS AND CURLING
SHINGLES.
LET'S LOOK FOR OURSELVES.
SEE, TAKE A LOOK RIGHT HERE.
THIS ROOF ALREADY HAS MISSING
SHINGLES WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN
THAT YOU NEED A NEW ROOF.
IT IS DELAMINATING AND FALLING
APART.
AS CAN YOU TELL, THIS HOMEOWNER
NEEDS A NEW ROOF.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE TAKING
THIS ROOF APART.
AS YOU CAN TELL, THESE SHINGLES
ARE ABOUT 20-YEARS-OLD.
AND DELAMINATED.
DELAMINATION OCCURS WHEN THERE'S
NOT ENOUGH VENTILATION ON THE
ROOF OR IF THE ROOF IS NOT
INSTALLED PROPERLY.
A GOOD ROOF SHOULD LAST ABOUT 50
YEARS.
ANOTHER TELLTALE SIGN A
HOMEOWNER NEEDS A NEW ROOF IS
CHECK THE GUTTERS.
WHAT YOU DO, GO INSIDE THE
GUTTER AND LOOK, LOOK FOR
GRANULES.
THIS GUTTER RIGHT HERE HAS
GRANULES ALL OVER IT FROM THE
ROOF.
THIS IS A SIGN THAT A ROOF NEEDS
TO BE REPLACED.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW YOU NEED A NEW
ROOF, IT IS TIME TO CALL THE
PROFESSIONALS.
IN FACT, THESE GUYS WE WILL LET
THEM DO THE JOB.
>>> ANOTHER MAJOR COMPONENT OF
PROPER ROOF INSTALLATION IS
INSULATION.
LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK.
HERE WE HAVE BLOWN IN INSULATION
FOR THE ATTIC.
MOST HOMEOWNERS ARE OPTING FOR
INSULATION IN YOUR ATTIC.
SO THIS PIECE HERE IS ANOTHER
COMPONENT OF PROPER VENTILATION
FOR YOUR ROOF CALLED THE SNOW
COUNTRY RIDGEMAN AND THIS GOES
ON THE RIDGE OF YOUR HOUSE.
WHEN IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED
AND YOU CAN SEE COVERS WITH THE
NAILS ALREADY AND PREDERAILED
FOR NAILS THIS WILL ALLOW YOUR
ROOF TO BREATHE BETTER AND LAST
A LIFETIME.
IT WILL LAST 50 YEARS.
THERE'S ONE MORE COMPONENT OF
PROPER VENTILATION CALLED
INTAKE.
SO HERE IS THE THIRD COMPONENT
OF A PROPERLY INSTALLED ROOF.
IT IS CALLED INTAKE.
THE AIR FROM YOUR SOFFIT GOES UP
TO THE INTAKE ALL THE WAY UP TO
THE ROOF IN AND OUT AND PROTECTS
YOUR ROOF TO MAKE IT A LONG
TIME.
THOSE ARE THREE COMPONENTS OF
THE ROOF.
WHAT IS THIS?
>> HERE IS A STAPLE FROM THE
EXISTING ROOF.
ú>> AND ROOFS ARE MEANT TO BE
NAILED.
WHEN YOU USE A STAPLE IT WON'T
LAST AS LONG.
PROBABLY THE REASON WHY THIS
ROOF DIDN'T LAST.
>> AND THEY ARE KNOCKING OUT
THIS JOB TODAY.
THANK YOU, GREG.
>> THANKS, ADAM.
WE PRIDE IN KNOCKING OFF THE
ROOF IN ONE DAY.
WE SELECT THE SHINGLES.
YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE LOTS OF
COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM.
WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS
HOMEOWNER SELECTION AND PRICE.
>> Tati: IT IS TOUGH.
ADAM IS HERE WITH US.
>> Chuck: DO YOU USE A STUNT
MAN IN YOUR WORK OR IS IT ALL
BRAVERY?
>> LISTEN, I WILL HAVE MY PEOPLE
CALL YOUR PEOPLE.
OKAY.
>> YOU WERE LIKE JUMPING FROM
ROOF TO ROOF.
>> IS HE REALLY IS ON A ROOF.
>> WHICH MATERIALS.
TIMBERLINE IS A BIG NAME.
WHICH MATERIAL SHOULD WE THINK
ABOUT IN MICHIGAN WITH OUR
WEATHER?
THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
THE BEST ROOF IS THE ONE
INSTALLED PROPERLY.
IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT THAT THE
CONTRACTOR YOU CHOOSE DOES THE
RIGHT ROOF.
GAF IS A BRAND THAT'S THE
LARGEST IN THE WORLD AND THEY
CAME OUT WITH A BRAND NEW
SHINGLE IN MICHIGAN.
THIS IS AN IMPACT-RESISTANT
SHINGLE.
WHICH MEANS HAIL DAMAGE.
A LOT OF HAIL LATELY.
THIS WILL RESIST HAIL.
YOU COM APPLY FOR AN INSURANCE
DISCOUNT ON YOUR HOUSE.
>> Chuck: REALLY?
AN UNDERARMOR GUARD WITH THE
SHINGLES.
>> IT LASTS LONGER.
THAT'S IMPORTANT AND VERY
POPULAR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
>> Tati: LET'S TALK ABOUT ICE
DAMS.
THE WEATHER IS NICE NOW AND
SOMETHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
>> IT IS THE BIGGEST CULPRIT OF
DAMAGE IN YOUR HOUSE.
ICE DAMMING IS HEAT LOSS.
SNOW ON THE ROOF AND HEAT
TRAVELS TO THE ATTIC.
THE ATTIC HEATS UP AND MELTS THE
SNOW.
THE WATER GOES TO THE EDGE OF
THE OUTSIDE WALL AND STARTS TO
FREEZE.
WHEN WATER FREEZES, IT EXPANDS.
>> UNDERNEATH THE SHINGLE POPS
UP AND IN THE HOUSE WATER
DAMAGE.
>> PROPERLY INSTALLED ROOF WITH
THE SEGMENT WITH INSULATION
THAT'S WHAT PREVENTS ICE
DAMMING.
IT IS ABOUT THE SYSTEM.
>> Chuck: DO YOU AND TEAMS YOU
WORK WITH EVER RECOMME
LAMINATING OVER OLD SHINGLES OR
TEAR IT OFF.
>> THAT'S AN OLD PRACTICE.
IF THERE'S ONE LAYER OF SHINGLES
ON YOUR ROOF IT IS APPROVED BY
CODE TO DO ANOTHER LAYER.
THE BEST ROOF IS TEAR OFF AND
GET IT DONE PROPERLY.
WITH UNDERLAYMENTS AND ICE AND
WATER SHIELD AND VENTILATION,
EVERYTHING BEYOND THE SHINGLES
IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE ROOF
THAT LASTS FOREVER.
>> Tati: HOW LONG SHOULD A
ROOF LAST?
>> INSTALLED PROPERLY 30 YEARS
MINIMUM.
TODAY MOST CONTRACTORS CERTIFIED
BY THE MANUFACTURE, THAT'S KEY,
WILL GIVE YOU A ROOF THAT LASTS
50 YEARS.
>> Chuck: YOU HAVE A SPECIAL
DEAL FOR LIVE IN THE D VIEWERS.
>> THE BIGGEST REQUEST WE GET IS
ROOFING.
IF YOU ARE A ROOFER YOU HAVE TO
BE CERTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER
WHICH IS AN ADDITIONAL WAY OF
MAKING THE HOMEOWNER SECURE.
>> WE ARE OFFERING $1,000 OFF A
NEW ROOF.
>> Tati: NICE.
>> AFTER YOU GET YOUR BEST
PRICE.
SAVE IT FOR THE END AT THE END
OF THE MONTH OF JUNE.
>> AND BAM, GIVE ME MY $1,000
OFF.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
HIGHER IT DONE WILL HELP YOU
FIND THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR TO
REPLACE OR REPAIR YOUR ROOF AND
THE SERVICE IS FREE TO YOU.
GO TO HIRE IT DONE.
