Top Duro-Last Installation Scores - Making the Grade


How does DK Haney Roofing continue to receive top installation scores?

Over the past 12 years DK Haney Roofing has specialized in Duro-Last single-ply roofing membrane.  Each member of our Duro-Last crew has over 5 years of experience installing the Duro-Last Roofing System.

John Bell, our newest Duro-Last foreman uses the below tips to help his crew install a top rated Duro-Last roof:
 
Think Ahead
Before we start any job we go over the roof and make sure that nothing has changed since the roof was first inspected by one of our technicians.  Once debris is cleared, we survey the roof and come up with a plan for loading and prepping the roof.  Our material is then loaded in the areas we are going to use them. 

Team Work
At the beginning of each day everyone on the crew knows what they are responsible for and knows what they need to have completed by the end of that day.  If someone needs help with something or a problem needs to be solved we work as a team to get it done. 

Double Check
At DK Haney Roofing we double check all our welds before we have the roof inspected.  This way we can catch any lose welds before we call the project complete.  That means that all DK Haney Roofing welds are checked 3 times.

By following these simple tips DK Haney Roofing has risen to Master Elite Contractor and is one of the top Duro-Last® contractors in the country.

How to Extend the Life of Your Shingle Roof

Regular roof maintenance might not be something on your weekend to-do list but as you will soon learn it is an important task that should be added on a bi-annually basis.  By checking off these simple tasks you can extend the life of your shingle roof.

Gutters:  Your gutters can collect leaves and other debris over time.  When wet the added weight can cause your gutters to pull away from the roof.  Blocked gutters can cause water to over flow and run down the side of your home causing discoloration as well as erosion to your foundation.

Attic:  Check your attic for mold or wet spots.  A wet roof can cause the wood and shingles to rot at an accelerated rate, leaving you with a hazardous mess.  If you spot mold contact a mold removal service.

Skylights:  Keep skylights clean and free of leaves and debris.  Dirty skylights can deteriorate faster and cause them to lose color.  Check chocking around skylight to insure it stays strong and can weather future storms.

Roof:  Remove any foreign objects from the roof such as branches, leaves, trash, and toys.  Check shingles for cracks, penetrations, and hail damage.  While you’re on the roof check the flashing on the chimney and any vents to make sure they are secure and free of any debris.

If you don’t feel comfortable walking around on your roof or climbing a ladder to inspect your roof, call DK Haney Roofing and we can provide you with a full inspection that will help to extend the life of your shingle roof.
