Why you should choose Mike Ragan Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc.
for your residential roofing project.

Experience.
Being a residential roofing contractor has and will continue to be a challenge. Keeping an adequate, well-qualified work force, balancing the workload, and dealing with the climate and obstacles that must be given constant attention. Through our 30 years of experience, we have learned to deal with these obstacles successfully and that has enabled us to develop many positive relationships with customers and clients.

The ability to address the complete roof system.
Roofing is a weatherproofing system that includes shingles, sheet metal flashing, gutters, proper ventilation, and underlayments for ice and snow protection. Our certified installers lead teams that address these specific areas to offer customers a worry-free roof system which includes more than just shingles.

Material Choices.
An economical basic 3-tab shingle, a laminated dimensional architectural shingle, or the natural beauty of a wood shake. These are just some of the many options that we offer. We only install quality roofing products from a few select manufacturers. We work together with these manufacturers to provide our customers with the relief that their home received a roofing system designed to keep that drip out of the house.


Cleanup.
We work to ensure that your property is as clean as before the roofing work started. We believe that it is hard to see the beauty of our work if your yard is cluttered with stray roofing debris. It is for this reason that our job is incomplete until the area is cleaned to our customer’s satisfaction.

Specific Areas of Attention. . . . .

From years of experience we here at Mike Ragan Roofing recognize the importance of giving areas specific attention in order to provide our customers with a worry free roof system that will last many years. Listed below are some manufacturer’s recommendations on how some of these specific areas might be addressed.

Eaves – Installing waterproofing underlayment (Certainteed WinterGuard, GAF Ice and Water Shield) on the eaves to some point above the interior wall to protect against winter ice dams.

Valleys – Installing waterproofing underlayment up valleys to protect against ice dams.

Chimney Flashing – A 2-piece flashing system that uses copper or galvanized metal is important to compensate for the movement between the house wood structure and chimney masonry surface.

Skylights – Installing waterproofing underlayment around skylights has proven to be an effective safeguard against ice daming and wind-driven rain.

Dormers/Vertical Walls – Copper or galvanized metal flashings are required in order to provide a watertight junction between the roof and walls protruding it. This is accomplished using step flashings and vertical wall base flashing. On existing buildings or reroof projects, existing flashings may be reused depending on their current condition.

Rake Edges – Prefinished metal flashing is usually installed to prevent wind-driven rain to enter underneath the roof system.

Ventilation – Proper ventilation is essential. The shingle manufacturer’s warranty may be nullified if it is not established and/or maintained. A combination of soffit vents and roof vents are required to have a proper ventilation system.

ASTM American Society for testing and materials. A voluntary organization concerned with development of consensus standards, testing procedures, and product specifications.

UL Label – Label displayed on packaging to indicate the level of fire and/or wind resistance of asphalt roofing and whether shingles meet certain ASTM standards. For example, "class A" is the highest fire resistance rating for roofing as per ASTM E.108.
 
Deck – The surface installed over supporting framing members (rafters or trusses) to which roofing is applied.

Eaves – The horizontal lower edge of a sloped roof.

Felt – Organic fiber mat or fiberglass impregnated with asphalt and used an underlayment between deck and roofing material also used to keep house watertight until shingles are applied.

Ice Dam – Condition formed by the thawing and re-freezing of melted snow especially at lower roof edge on the roof overhang and gutters. This can cause water to pond and flow up under shingles causing leaks.

Laminated Shingles – Strip shingles containing more than one layer of tabs to create extra thickness; also referred to as dimensional shingles or architectural shingles.

Strip Shingles – Asphalt shingles that are approximately three times long as they are wide;
also known as 3-n-1’s.

Slope – The degree of roof incline experienced as the ratio of the rise in inches, to the run, inches (or feet). Sometimes expressed as "pitch" in degrees of an angle.

Vent – Any device installed on the roof, gable, or soffit for the purpose of ventilating the underside of the roof deck or attic space.

Lead flashing or Vent Flashing – Actual lead material or an aluminum flange with a neoprene collar installed over plumbing system vent pipes at the point they protrude through the roof.

Tear-off – A roofing project which involves removing all existing roofing down to the roof deck after which a new roof system is installed. This is usually required where 2 or more layers currently exist.

Waterproofing shingle underlayment – A special self-adhering waterproofing shingle underlayment designed to protect against water infiltration due to ice dams or wind driven rain.

Reroof – Applying a new roof directly over the existing roof, usually done where only one layer now exists, but local codes can vary on the specific requirements.
