Which Roofing Material Takes the Prize?

Decisions, decisions. You’ve made up your mind to replace your roof. But you’re still not sure which material is best. There are so many out there. While an Orange County roofer can help you narrow down the selection, the ultimate decision still falls on your shoulders. It’s not like choosing among ice cream flavors. The potential consequences are much more far-reaching. So, you wonder which way to turn. Well, take heart. You can make the task less burdensome by knowing a little something about what’s out there. Once you gain the enlightenment, you’ll have a better idea of what fits your home and your situation. Then it’s just a matter of picking the best match.

Asphalt is one of the most common materials installed by Orange County roofers. In fact, most people select shingles of this type. There’s good reason for the popularity. Asphalt shingles are cost-effective and durable, an unbeatable combination when it comes to roofing materials. This sturdiness is assured by a fiberglass matting reinforced by a coating of granules. You can be certain that a roof covered by asphalt will stand up to weather, debris, and virtually all other harmful elements.

Like homeowners, business owners often prefer asphalt shingles. As a result, many a commercial roofer uses this material when performing a roof replacement.  

Once used almost exclusively for commercial buildings, metal roofing is steadily gaining acceptance by homeowners. Often composed of recycled materials, this type of lightweight roof offers environmental benefits, as well as excellent durability and weather-resistance.

If you have questions about roofing materials, be sure to reach out to Luke Roofing. A long-established Orange County roofer in Foothill Ranch and surrounding cities, we provide prompt, reliable expertise for every residential roofing and commercial roofing need. No matter where you live in OC, you can count on Luke Roofing for the most efficient, reliable roofing solutions.

Get Smart About Roof Leaks

Perhaps it starts with a steady drip plopping onto your forehead as you settle into your sofa. Or maybe you notice a small, widening puddle soaking your carpet when it rains. (You remember rain, don’t you?).  Whatever the signs, roof leaks spell big trouble. As this Orange County roofer knows, however, you can minimize the trouble if you have advance warning. With that in mind, here are three possible causes of roof leaks to be on the lookout for.   

Missing Shingles

Not too difficult to spot this telltale sign. Just glance at your roof, scan, and look for different-colored patches amidst the shingles. If patches are present, it’s a sure bet shingles used to occupy those spaces. The typical cause of missing shingles is harsh weather, particularly rain and wind.

Open Valleys

On sloping roofs, the place where two planes meet is called a valley.  This meeting point, of course, must be properly sealed. If gaps are present, rainwater can drop right through. Look for any signs of moisture along the roof seams. These indicate improper sealing.

Most often, the open valley problem starts when the original sealing is improperly done.  And it only gets worse from there. Obviously, you want a commercial roofer who gets the job done right from the beginning.

Skylight Gaps

Sometimes skylights can let in moisture along with the sunshine. This can happen as a result of shoddy installation or withering skylight insulation.  If you notice damp spots around the skylight edges, you’re probably looking at leakage. At that point, it’s best to call in a commercial roofer to investigate. Unless you love the steady plunk of water filling a bucket.

If you have questions about roof leaks, be sure to reach out to Luke Roofing. A long-established commercial roofing contractor, we provide prompt, reliable expertise for every need and situation. Offering roofing services from Buena Park to Foothill Ranch, Luke Roofing is your trusted Orange County roofer.

Roofing That Stands the Test of Time

When considering an Orange County roofer for the job of installing a new roof, one thing on your mind will be the material utilized.  There is a diversity of roofing materials to choose from, each offering its own benefits. What you ask your Orange County roofer to install will depend largely on your personal preferences.

For durability, nothing stands the test of time like slate shingles. Roofs made of this material are among the longest lasting on the market. Some slate roots are more than a century old. And believe it or not, they’re still doing their job superbly, keeping water out and the heat in as needed.

For certain Orange County residents, slate roofs may be just what they’re looking for. How would you go about getting one? Well, let’s say you lived in Tustin. The first thing you’d do is call in a Tustin roofer to provide an estimate. During this estimate, the commercial roofer will present you with an overview of the roof type, pointing out its advantages.

The Advantages of Slate Shingles

As mentioned already, slate shingles are highly durable, with their useful lifespan ranging from 80-100 years. Along with longevity, slate offers tremendous water-resisting power. The reason for this resistance is its position on the water absorption index, which is .4%. Yeah, very little gets past it. Not surprisingly, the material also is exceedingly strong, providing substantial protection should the winds kick up.

On the aesthetic side of things, slate has a very unique appearance that sets it apart from the crowd. If you’re looking for that ‘special look’, slate shingles could be the way to go.

If you have any questions about slate shingles, 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 Foothill Ranch or anywhere else in OC, you can definitely count on Luke Roofing.

3 Roof Repairs Not to Do Yourself

Roof Repairs in Orange County

Most homeowners prefer to DIY fix at least some of their home repairs. After all, doing simple repairs yourself can save you lots of money. But when it comes to your roof, there are certain repairs you simply shouldn't attempt on your own. 

While you may be able to repair a small leak yourself, here are X common roof repairs in Orange County you should leave to the professionals:

  1. Fixing faulty installation. If your roof was improperly installed in the first place, it’ll be more likely to leak. And the lifespan of your roof could decrease dramatically. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell if your roof was installed improperly, or if the problem is more localized. If you suspect your last roofing guys did a number on your roof, call a professional to assess and fix the problem.

Recommended by Friend, Very Reasonable!

Luke Roofing was recommended to us by a friend. Came out to give us a quote on a leak and had it fixed the same day! Very reasonable, at less than half the price quoted to us by another company. One year warranty. We would use them again for sure!

I hired Luke Roofing to install a large solar system and a new roof for an addition to my home.  They were on time, clean, and quick.  I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Absolutely Professional

We had our 32 year old cedar shake roof replaced with the GAF timeline architectural roof.  The guys were absolutely professional.  They arrived on time and completed the entire project in three days.  We had lots of dry rot damage as well as termite damage.  It was replaced perfectly.  Every day the work site was clean.  I was referred by a close friend and I have also referred my brother.  My neighbors were amazed how it looks and how quickly it was done.

I was challenged with a very complicated roofing problems as it was made of metal, tile and installed wrong which caused many leaks. The roof was only 10 years old!!  It took me 3-4 months of interviewing contractors as I needed to get the right one. Can you believe that the only one to come up with a water test on top of the roof was Gary the owner! Such a simple thing but everyone else was taking my word where the leaks were. Don't take my word! I'm not a roofer!! Gary and his team went above and beyond. His fabricator was brilliant in the redesign as it had ridges, crickets and slopes down instead of puddling. Luke Roofing knows what there doing!!

Really good crew.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality

Second job done by Luke Roofing for us...price was fine; timeline not important in our case, but they came when they said they would, and finished in two days. Really good crew, polite, considerate, and the work was quality. Cleanup was first class. One minor nick on our front gate on the way out, but easy agreement on how to handle it (accidents can happen to anybody). Really can't ask for more, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys.

Good Honorable Company

In early 2019, when the severe rains came, I had two leaks in my upstairs master bathroom, about ten feet apart.  I was somewhat desperate, and tried several roofing companies.  The waiting list for everybody, including Luke, was lengthy, but i had no choice but to wait.  I picked Luke because of high ratings on Angie's List.  Glad I did.  

As it turned out, one flat area required a new roof.  I paid for that, approximately $3,000, and both leaks stopped.  A few months later, both leaks reappeared.  i couldn't believe it.  No problem, Luke's people came out and inspected everything.  A team of 3-4 men spent hours on the roof, going over everything.  They determined that neither leak was related to the roof or their work I had one drain completely stuffed with leaves, and another area where the stucco on the wall around the roof was severely deteriorated. They showed me several pictures. After fixing those problems with a plumber and a stucco company, those two leaks are gone.  No new leaks until last week.  

Last week, a new leak appeared, in a totally different location.  Erin Luke sent a man out to the house who fixed that leak immediately and I paid a small $200-$300 invoice.  

This is a good honorable, company, who will show up when they say they will, and charge a very fair price.  They are now my "go to" roofers.  I've referred them to others.

After spending 4 frustrating months dealing with insurance company and bank to settle a disaster claim for part of my roof, Luke was a breath of fresh air. My roof was partially damaged, but it was old so I decided to replace the whole thing. I took bids from several companies and, although Luke was not the absolute low bid, I have to say that I selected them because of the perceived "value" for me. I am a business owner and I place a high premium on companies who treat their customers right and with high integrity. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and there were no surprises. They also finished the job 1-2 days before they quoted, which I very much appreciated. They worked closely with my chosen Solar company (Sullivan Solar) to prep the roof for solar install, which is happening next month.

My neighbor even saw them working and hired them for his roof repair job.

I highly recommend Luke for any roofing project. Good, honest, fair and reliable. Nobody likes to spend money on these things, but if you have to, it sure feels a lot better when you can do it with a company that you can trust.
