One More Use for Your Roof

If you’re a natural-born entertainer, an Orange County roofer may prove extremely valuable. No, they won’t play host to your lively get-togethers. (Although many have sparkling personalities well-suited to the task). Nor will they provide music, dancing, or games. But they may have the ability to create and install a private entertainment space atop your roof.  Otherwise known as a rooftop deck, the space offers you and your guests a very special vantage point conducive to breathtaking views and a unique perspective on surrounding scenery. Not only will the deck provide constant enjoyment; it will increase your popularity by leaps and bounds. Yes, a rooftop deck is the height of entertainment in more ways than one.

As previously mentioned, a rooftop deck offers occupants exhilarating views of the local environment. So the last thing you want is an obstruction blocking the show. If commissioned to install such a deck, an Orange County residential roofer will take this potential problem into account. One obstruction they commonly deal with is the overhanging tree. Don’t worry. The roofers probably won’t recommend the uprooting or extreme trimming of your favorite sycamore. But they will give strong consideration to nearby trees before installation begins.

In many cases, an Orange County roofer may recommend placing a deck near an overhanging tree. There are two reasons for this positioning. First, those limbs and branches provide comforting shade, an undeniable advantage during the scorching summer months. Secondly, the extensions offer a certain amount of privacy. Thus, trees can complement a rooftop deck very nicely. So long as they don’t get in the way.

If you have questions about rooftop decks, be sure to reach out to Luke Roofing.

Peak of Perfection

Sometimes they’re known by the illustrious names pitched or peaked roof. But Orange County roofers and their customers typically refer to them as gable. Not surprisingly, gable roofs are among the most popular in the United States. And we Orange County roofing companies certainly deal with our share of them. As with virtually any other type of roof, the gable variety has its advantages and its disadvantages. If you’re considering a home with one of these roof shapes, here’s what you should know:  
 
Advantages of Gable Roofs
 
It doesn’t take a seasoned commercial roofer to reveal the most notable advantage of this roof type. One look at its sloping shape will tell you everything you need to know – rainwater, courtesy of gravity, rolls right off of it. Thus, moisture has a more difficult time collecting on a this slanted rooftop. 
 
Another benefit provided by the gable shape is the abundant space it creates atop your home. With a gable roof, you’ve got plenty of room for an attic or a soaring vaulted ceiling. 
You’ll discover that gable roofs even can reduce housing costs. If, for instance, you were considering purchasing a new home being built in Irvine, any Irvine roofer will tell you that gable roofs are comparatively easy to construct. And that makes them less expensive. 
 
The primary disadvantage of gable roofs is their vulnerability to intense wind. If a big gust does happen to kick up (not exactly an everyday occurrence in the OC), the force can strip away roofing materials. But this would be a rarity in this part of the world. Nevertheless, an Orange County roofer could reinforce a gable roof if so desired. 
 
If you have any questions about gable roofs, be sure to reach out to Luke Roofing. A long-established Orange County roofer, we provide prompt, reliable expertise for every need and situation. Whether you need roofing services in Capistrano Beach or anywhere else in OC, you definitely can count on Luke Roofing.

Hiring roofers in Orange County is a big deal for a homeowner. Getting your roof repaired or replaced can cost big money. And you want to be sure you’re spending your cash wisely and well. So before you sign a contract with a roofer, ask these 9 questions to be sure you’re hiring the right roofing company:

1. Are you licensed?Roofers in Orange County should be licensed by the state. A license doesn't guarantee excellent work, but working with an unlicensed contractor is sketchy, at best.

2. Are you a member of any roofing associations? Again, the fact that a roofing company is a member of a roofing association doesn't guarantee that they do good work. But those who are association members tend to be more up-to-date on the latest methods and products on the market. Association membership can prove that a roofing company is serious about its work.
