Roof Top Gardens

Recently we have been asked to inspect a couple of roofs where the customer had just added planters on top of pallets to their flat roof, watering the plants caused a small leak. We recommend having your roof inspected before setting up your garden. Typically an EPDM or TPO roof will hold water better than a modified flat roof.

Do not call in a hail claim just because a stranger knocking at your doors tells you to. Ask a local real estate agent or your insurance agent for a referral to a local, reliable roof company.

 Roof Brokers is NOT a contractor and will check your roof for free for wind and hail damage. Roof Brokers is referred by many insurance and real estate agents in the Denver Metro Area.

The most common places for roofs to leak are at roof penetrations such as pipe jacks also called plumbing vent boots, roof vents, the base of the chimney and skylights.

 Loose step flashing can channel water into a wall and also leftover mounting holes from an antenna or satellite dish that has been removed can also cause leaks.

We recommend having annual inspections but if you do get a roof leak it is good to have on hand plastic sheeting material to protect contents inside your home in addition to containers to collect the water in until the roof can be repaired.

To much snow to look at roofs today. Composition shingle roofs usually dry quicker than wood shake roofs. Real Estate agents if needed please do extend/amend for any pending certification roof inspections.

One advantage of a New Listing Certification is we can have the roof inspected ahead of bad weather. Roof Brokers needs to see the roof dry for certification inspections. Our inspectors have been able to look at some roofs today, but parts of Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood and areas to the north had enough snow by 8 am to prevent us from inspecting.
