Go into the warm months prepared with these easy tips for setting roof systems up for success this summer.  

In general, it is advised to conduct two inspections on a roof a year, one in the spring and one in the fall as the weather shifts again. As a rule of thumb, if your roof experiences a drastic shift in conditions, it’s a good idea to get up there and make sure everything is working properly. As the weather takes a turn towards hot, make sure to proactively inspect your roof and make sure the correct repairs and maintenance are done. 

Ensuring that this is taken care of before the warm months has multiple benefits. First, it makes sure the roof is strong going into a season where UV damage and other factors can exacerbate any existing issues. This helps extend the overall lifespan of the roof. Working on it early also keeps costs from rising too high as it minimizes the possibility of emergency repairs. 

The first step to this roofing spring cleaning is a preventative maintenance inspection. This is a visual overview and record of the state of the roof. Check out these 7 places that APOC identified to give special attention to during this process.  

1 - Roof membranes and flashings 

Ensure all flashing membranes are in good condition. Check for signs of stress, cracking, splitting, wrinkles, blisters, etc. Remove any foreign matter such as balls, shoes, tools, branches, oils, chemicals, liquid or other objects. Then, clean the roof membrane and closely inspect for signs of physical damage. 

2 - Gutters, drains and scuppers  

Because these are the main avenues that rainwater travels off the roof surface and is directed away from the building, it is crucial that these areas are inspected and maintained. Clean and remove any debris clogging or obstructing the flow of water. Look for any sights of cracking or splitting of the membrane around the drains and scupper. If anything is noted, they must be repaired immediately. 

3 - Penetrations 

Inspect penetrations for signs of wear. Ensure that the base of the penetration remains completely sealed and attached to the roof membrane.  

4 - Pitch pans 

Check all pitch pans for shrinkage. As sealants shrink over time, water may begin to sit on the top of the pitch pan causing rust, leaks and deterioration. 

5 - Metal flashings 

Inspect all metal flashings, counter flashings, copings, seams, joints, gravel stops, edge metal and other areas to ensure they are secure and free of rust or deterioration. Any unsatisfactory conditions should be repaired as soon as possible.  

6 - Rooftop equipment and accessories 

Inspect all rooftop equipment for deterioration and areas that are prone to water penetration. This includes HVAC equipment, duct work, curbs, skylights, etc.   

7 - Expansion joints 

Check all expansion joints for deterioration, wear and defects. Check the metal components to ensure they are fully secured and free of rust. Make sure the expansion joint is still flexible and resilient. Look for any signs of cracking or splitting while manually flexing the joint.

This homeowner paused their project because of insulation concerns. The following is is the advice our experts gave them.

When Olive, an Ohio homeowner, started having work on their home, they came to our experts for insight. This is what they asked: 

I recently had weatherization work started on my home, including attic prep for blown-in insulation. I paused the job before the final insulation phase because I’ve run into several concerns and wanted input from people with roofing/ventilation experience.

1. The roof vents do not seem to be installed properly. The shingles around the vents are not sealed... I can physically lift them by hand next to the vent flashing. They insist they are nailed and properly finished?
2. One vent was installed about 11 inches from a roof valley, which seems too close based on what I’ve been reading and where I live (Ohio).
3. The contractor chose not to install baffles, saying each attic has about 3 roof vents (and one attic also has a gable vent). They claimed ventilation would be sufficient and that "it’s better to prioritize insulation over the top plate area at the critical junction". I don’t fully understand or agree with that explanation.
4. They left debris in the attic everywhere, including all of the roof cutouts, an old fan they replaced and trash (spray foam cans, tape, electrical wiring etc.).

I’ve stopped them from blowing in insulation until I understand whether this work is acceptable. Am I right to be concerned here? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We had a couple experts chime in with advice for Olive. This is what Jordan Nycum from Bone Dry Roofing had to say:

1. The shingles next to the vents should not lift up as easily as they do in the photo. The nails need to be placed at the right distance from the vent opening, not so close that they interfere with the vent, but not so far away that the shingle can be lifted like that. At Bone Dry, we also always install an extra layer of protective material called ice and water shield around any roof protrusions for added protection.
2. Yes, 11 inches is too close to a valley. Valleys are areas of the roof where a large amount of water flows during rain, and having a protrusion that close can create a spot where water backs up and causes a leak.
3. When installing insulation or a proper ventilation system, baffles in the rafter cavities are extremely important. Baffles are channels that allow fresh air from the soffits to flow into the attic space, which helps your roofing system breathe and function the way it should.
4. Small pieces of wood or sawdust in the attic are generally not a concern and will not cause a leak. However, anything beyond that can raise questions about the quality of work protecting your biggest investment, your home. You should feel complete peace of mind that your home is protected and that your money was well spent on quality workmanship. If that confidence is not there, the job was not done right.

John Kenney from Cotney Consulting also had some thoughts for Olive: 

You’re right to pause the job. There are multiple concerns here, and a few of them are not minor.

1. Shingles not sealed at the vents: From your photos, it looks like the shingles around the vent flashing were lifted, which is not how this should be left. Yes, shingles are nailed—but around penetrations like vents, they also need to be properly integrated and sealed so wind and water can’t get underneath. If they’re loose and can be lifted easily, that’s a red flag for improper installation or incomplete work.
2. Vent too close to the valley: An 11-inch offset from a valley is tight. Most manufacturers and good practice recommend keeping penetrations farther from valleys, as that’s where water tends to concentrate. Putting a vent too close increases the risk of leaks over time, especially in areas with snow and ice like Ohio.
3. No baffles installed: This is the biggest issue in your list. Baffles (rafter vents) are not optional—they’re what keep your soffit ventilation working. Without them, the blown-in insulation will block airflow at the eaves. Saying “we have roof vents, so it’s fine” is incorrect. Ventilation only works when you have intake (soffits) and exhaust (roof vents) working together. Also, the comment about prioritizing insulation over the top plate is partially true—but you don’t sacrifice ventilation to do it. You install baffles first, then insulate properly. You need both.
4. Debris left in the attic: That’s unacceptable. Before insulation is installed, the attic should be clean. Leaving debris—including old materials and trash—buried under insulation is poor workmanship and makes future service or inspections difficult.

Bottom line: Yes—you are absolutely right to be concerned. You’re looking at:

• Questionable flashing/shingle integration at vents
• Poor vent placement
• Missing ventilation components (baffles)
• Lack of basic jobsite cleanliness

I would not allow them to proceed with insulation until:

1. The vent installations are corrected and properly sealed
2. Vent placement is reviewed (and possibly relocated if necessary)
3. Baffles are installed at all soffit areas
4. The attic is cleaned out completely

If they push back on any of this, I’d strongly recommend getting a second opinion from a qualified roofing contractor before moving forward.

Learn what immediate steps to take and how professional repair services prevent small leaks from becoming major structural problems. 

Roof leaks rarely stay contained. In climates shaped by steady rain and prolonged moisture, companies like Fields Roof Service regularly see how a single breach can quickly extend beyond the roof surface, reaching insulation, ceilings, walls and even nearby electrical systems. What starts as a minor drip can escalate within hours, making response time a defining factor in how much damage occurs and how costly repairs become. 

That reality places immediate pressure on the first steps property owners take. Interior containment, placing a bucket beneath the leak and clearing nearby furnishings, helps limit short-term damage. At the same time, attempting to access a wet roof introduces unnecessary safety risks. In most situations, the more effective path is to contact a licensed roofing professional equipped to locate the source and stabilize the issue without compounding the problem. 

The need for that expertise becomes clearer when considering how leaks develop. Over time, repeated exposure to rain, seasonal storms and sustained moisture begins to wear down roofing systems. Shingles can loosen or go missing, flashing around vents and chimneys may deteriorate and sealants at penetration points can crack. In other cases, aging materials or blocked drainage areas allow water to accumulate, increasing the likelihood of intrusion. 

Compounding the issue, leaks are not always immediately visible. Early indicators often appear gradually; water stains on ceilings or walls, intermittent dripping during storms, damp attic insulation or peeling paint near ceiling corners. In some cases, a persistent mildew odor may be the first sign of hidden moisture. Identifying these warning signals early allows for intervention before the damage progresses into structural components. 

When professionals arrive on-site, the focus shifts from symptom to source. A comprehensive inspection of both the roof and attic helps trace how water is moving through the system. If active weather conditions persist, temporary measures may be used to control intrusion and stabilize the interior. From there, technicians follow the water path back to its origin, which is often separate from where the leak becomes visible inside. 

Permanent repairs are then carried out with that full context in mind. Replacing damaged shingles, resealing flashing and vents, repairing underlayment or correcting drainage issues all work toward restoring the roof’s ability to shed water effectively. By addressing the root cause rather than the visible damage alone, the repair is designed to hold under future conditions. 

Delaying that process allows water to continue migrating through the structure, increasing the risk of mold growth, wood rot, electrical hazards and long-term deterioration. Because roofing systems function as integrated assemblies, effective repair depends on restoring performance across all connected components, not just the point where the leak first appears.

How a focus on communication and teamwork has helped this family business grow and thrive for over a century.  

This month, we want to highlight Sutter Roofing as our May 2026 Roofer of the Month. Founded over 120 years ago, Sutter Roofing is one of the oldest and largest roofing and sheet metal contractors in Florida. And over all that time they have remained a family-owned operation, seeing generation after generation continue the legacy. To learn more about Sutter Roofing and how they have achieved long-lasting operational excellence while maintaining strong customer relationships, we brought Sutter’s VP of Service and Maintenance, Michael Black, and their Liquid Applied Service Manager, Aaron Vento, on for an episode of the Roofer of the Month podcast. 

Sutter Roofing’s story actually started in Clocksburg, West Virginia. As Michael explained, “We’re a fifth-generation family-owned business. We’ve been in business since 1902, originally from Clocksburg, West Virginia. We are coming up on our 47th year here in the state of Florida and are one of the largest commercial roofing contractors in the area with around 300 employees and about 60-80 admin people.”  

Their services cover everything that could be needed for a commercial roof – from medical projects to the new USF Bowl Stadium being built in Tampa. They also have a robust service department that boasts 34 crews. Michael shared, “We specialize in going out and dedicating our crews and services to each of our customers. We don't use subcontractors that often, only when we have to. And we try to listen to what our customers say, listen to what their wants are and then execute on what they need to get done.” 

Internally, this culture of individual care continues. Aaron explained:  

After every project, our teams go get lunch together and we go over the pros and cons of the project that was just finished. And not a lot of crews get the opportunity to sit down and reflect like that. But I think it’s big for camaraderie as well as giving everybody buy-in to the project and accountability...And that’s just one example of the team culture we have a Sutter. You can be the newest guy here; it doesn't matter. If you have an idea, let's all talk about it. 

Michael added, “It’s all about communication. Internally and with clients...We always talk and we're always brainstorming on what we can do next, how we can do better. The ultimate goal is customer service here at Sutter Roofing. And you can't have that unless you have excellent communication, both externally and internally.”

Understanding HOA requirements early can help homeowners avoid delays and keep roofing projects on track. 

Roof replacement and repair projects often come with more complexity than homeowners expect, especially in communities governed by a homeowner association (HOA). Beyond selecting materials and scheduling installation, property owners must also navigate approval processes, aesthetic guidelines and performance requirements that can directly impact project timelines and outcomes. These added layers make early planning and informed decision-making essential. 

Here at Viotell Metal Concepts, we know from experience how important it is for homeowners to understand their HOA roofing requirements from the start to help avoid delays, unexpected costs and compliance issues. From approved material types to color restrictions and contractor qualifications, these guidelines are designed to maintain consistency across the community while ensuring roofs meet durability expectations. Taking a proactive approach can streamline the process and help ensure a successful roofing project from start to finish. 

What HOA roof guidelines actually mean 

These guidelines are basically your HOA’s rulebook. They spell out what types of roofing materials you can use, which roofing colors are allowed and sometimes even which roofing contractors you’re allowed to hire. It might feel like overkill, but the goal is to keep the neighborhood looking clean and consistent. 

And in places with severe weather, there’s more to it. Your roof may need to hold up to serious snow loads, ice buildup or long-term sun exposure. Using the wrong material doesn’t just risk fines from your HOA; it could cost you way more in damage down the road. 

Quick tip: Read your HOA’s roofing section in the CC&Rs before you get too far in the planning process. You’ll save yourself time, money and frustration. 

How HOA roof guidelines can impact your project 

1 - Roofing materials matter 

Most HOAs want high-performance materials like metal roofing or quality composite shingles. These options handle the weather and keep the neighborhood’s style consistent. If you’ve got your heart set on something else, it might not fly. 

2 - You need HOA approval before starting 

Almost every HOA will want you to submit a proposal. This usually includes samples of your materials, color choices and details about your roofing contractor. Sometimes they’ll ask for renderings of what it will look like on your home. This approval process can take a few days or even weeks depending on your board. 

3 -  HOAs often control the roof aesthetics 

That bold black roof might look great on your Pinterest board, but your HOA may only allow neutral roofing colors that match the overall look of the neighborhood. Earth tones are usually a safe bet. 

4 - Project timelines might be restricted 

You may only be allowed to do roofing work during certain months or within a tight timeline once you begin. This matters a lot in areas where the construction season is already short because of snow and early cold snaps. 

How to stay ahead of the HOA headaches 

Here’s how I help homeowners cut through the red tape without losing their minds 

• Read the rules carefully. Open your CC&Rs and look at the roofing section first before doing anything else. 
• Talk to your HOA early. Even if you’re just collecting bids, reach out and start the conversation. 
• Work with a local roofing contractor. They’ll already know what’s allowed and can help guide your choices. 
• Keep a paper trail. Save every email, approval form and HOA message. If anything comes up later, you’ll have proof. 

Why local roofing experts make a big difference 

Hiring a local roofing company makes your life easier in every way. They know how to design roofs that can handle the challenges of your climate, and most importantly, they know how to navigate HOA requirements. 

The right contractor will point you toward HOA-approved roofing materials, suggest the best options for the local weather and submit everything correctly the first time so you’re not stuck waiting. 

What happens if you ignore the rules 

I’ve seen homeowners try to cut corners, and it never ends well. Here’s what can happen if you don’t follow HOA roofing regulations: 

• You could get fined 
• Your project could get shut down mid-way 
• You might have to tear the roof off and start over 
• You could face legal action or delays selling your home later 

Even if you think the rules are over the top, fighting them is going to cost you way more than just following them from the start. 

Final advice from someone who’s been there 

Dealing with HOA roofing rules isn’t fun, but it doesn’t have to be a nightmare either. If you go in with the right info, start early and work with a team that knows the local landscape; it can be a smooth process. 

If you’re planning a roof replacement, review your guidelines first, then get a quote from a trusted local roofer who knows how to work with your HOA and your climate. 

Bottom line 

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home. Don’t let HOA rules slow you down. Stay informed, get the right help and protect your home with a roof that lasts, performs and looks great for years to come.

A meticulous slate roofing project preserves a 150-year-old Baltimore church as it transforms into a modern elementary school. 

Transforming a historic structure into a functional modern facility demands a roofing system that honors the past while preparing the building for its next chapter. That balance was at the heart of the 150-year-old Maree Farring church restoration in Baltimore, Maryland. As the building transitioned into an elementary school, its new roof became a defining component of safety, durability and historic integrity. 

For The Durable Slate Company, a company experienced in preserving and restoring aging roof systems, the project presented both opportunity and challenge. Julie Butler, preservation director, emphasized the team’s primary objective: “We’re always trying to preserve materials when possible and replace them appropriately, while still meeting state, local and national preservation standards and modern safety codes.” 

Installing slate on an exceptionally complex roof 

The church’s roof structure featured multiple pitches, intersecting roof types, dormers and a cupola. Managing installation on such varied geometry required materials that were dependable and easy to work with. Project Manager Logan Altrichter described the complexity, saying, “The roof was extremely complex, with multiple pitches, roof types, dormers and a cupola, so we needed a slate that was easy to cut, easy to install and consistent across the entire roof.” 

To meet both preservation and performance needs, the company selected CUPA 14 natural slate, paired with unfading green slate from Vermont Slate Company. The combination allowed the team to align with historic guidelines while maintaining a cohesive appearance across the roof. 

Consistency was critical. A material with reliable thickness and workability helped installers maintain efficiency and accuracy, particularly around the cupola and copper detailing where precision mattered most. By reducing on-site adjustments and installation delays, the team kept the project moving forward despite its complexity. 

A roof ready for more 

Reliable delivery scheduling and clear communication supported the crew as they worked to meet tight timelines. Once completed, the slate roof provided the Maree Farring building with a long-term protective envelope, safeguarding its architectural character while preparing it for its new purpose as an elementary school. 

Reflecting on why CUPA PIZARRAS slate was chosen, Julie pointed to the durable performance the team has seen repeatedly in the field, sharing, “Our recommendation for CUPA PIZARRAS is based on experience. It’s a trusted choice for historic projects where long-term performance really matters.” 

With the new roof in place, the church-turned-school is positioned for a new era of community use, supported by materials and craftsmanship designed to endure.

AAR Expert Mindy Dahlquist says installing a roof over a current roof system is ideal when the roof itself is in good shape but has just reached the end of its visually appealing phase.

AAR Expert April question: When is it acceptable to install a new roof over an existing roof?

AAR Expert Mindy Dahlquist answer: Certain situations must be present for a roofing installation to occur with a new roof over an existing roof without a tear-off. This is not usually an ideal situation, although it can be a more affordable option.  

Leaving the current roof in place and installing over it can be a poor option when you have water intrusion, mold, ventilation concerns or other damages.  

Installing a roof over a current roof system is ideal when the roof itself is in good shape but has just reached the end of its visually appealing phase. Take asphalt, as an example: if the deck is still structurally sound (including the back side of the deck), ventilation is good, no major damages have occurred and granule loss isn't apparent, then the roof can be roofed over top. Shingles must be laying flat. Overlay install should not occur for an project with more than one previous layer of material (code requirement). Overlaying a roof can reduce 10-15% of cost to save on labor, disposal fees and rip-off time.  

In the roof overlay circumstances, your fastener length will become important to ensure that your fasteners are being attached into sheathing to prevent a lower pull-out strength value. 

Looking at an additional $6,500 for a reroofing project, this homeowner came to the AskARoofer Experts for clarification.

When unexpected charges popped up during a roofing project, Rachel, a homeowner in California, came to our experts for a second opinion, asking: 

I am currently having my roof replaced. After they tore off the original roofing, it was found that the entire roof would need plywood installed prior to the asphalt shingles (no plywood was previously present, only wood planks). My question is whether the roofing company should have been able to observe the absence of plywood underlay during their initial assessment in order to provide an accurate estimate. They are now adding $6,500 to the original estimate.

One of our AskARoofer Experts, John Kenney of Cotney Consulting, answered Rachel's question, saying: 

Rachel, this is a very common situation — especially in older homes — and I’ll give it to you straight. Without seeing your contract or knowing exactly how the contractor presented the scope, I can only speak based on typical industry practice.

In many cases, a contractor cannot fully confirm what’s under the roof until it’s torn off. If your home had spaced wood planks instead of solid decking, that’s often not visible during a standard inspection from the exterior — and sometimes not even from the attic, depending on access.

That said, an experienced contractor should recognize the possibility, especially with older homes, and communicate that upfront. Most professional proposals include language stating that decking repairs or upgrades may be required once the roof is opened up.

The reason for the added plywood is legitimate. Modern asphalt shingles require a solid, continuous nailing surface to perform properly and meet code. Installing over-spaced planks without proper sheathing can lead to performance issues and void the manufacturer's warranty.

As for the additional $6,500 — that’s not out of line depending on:

• Roof size
• Material thickness and pricing
• Labor involved

Bottom line

• It’s normal that this condition wasn’t fully confirmed until tear-off
• It should have been anticipated and communicated as a possibility
• Adding plywood is the correct and necessary step, not an upsell

Questions I would ask your contractor

• Was potential decking replacement noted in the original proposal?
• What thickness and type of plywood are being installed?
• Are they installing it to meet current code and manufacturer requirements?
• Is this a full redeck or partial, and how was that determined?

If this wasn’t discussed at all beforehand, you’re justified in asking questions. But based on what you’ve described, the work itself is valid and important to get right.

A closer look at how preventative maintenance helps property managers reduce costs, avoid disruptions and extend roof lifespan. 

For many property owners, roof maintenance remains easy to defer, until a failure forces immediate action. Companies like ROOFCORP of America emphasize that by that point, what could have been addressed through routine care often escalates into higher costs, operational disruptions and avoidable damage. Consistent inspection strategies offer a way to interrupt that cycle before it begins. 

The challenge lies in how roofing systems fail. Unlike interior systems that demand attention when they break, roofs deteriorate gradually and often without visible warning. Small vulnerabilities such as a cracked seam, a clogged drain or a compromised flashing detail can develop quietly over time. Without regular evaluation, those minor issues can expand into leaks, structural damage and emergency repairs that carry significantly higher costs. 

That escalation does not occur in isolation. Water intrusion can compromise insulation, corrode structural components and interrupt tenant operations, particularly in commercial environments where downtime directly affects revenue. In competitive markets, even a single disruption can weaken tenant confidence and place long-term relationships at risk. 

Environmental conditions further intensify the stakes. In regions exposed to persistent sun, moisture or coastal air, roofing systems face continuous stress from ultraviolet radiation, temperature swings and corrosion. These forces accelerate material degradation, shortening the window between early-stage wear and visible failure. Routine inspections provide the visibility needed to identify those patterns before they translate into costly outcomes. 

In response, many property managers are reframing how roof maintenance fits into broader asset strategy. Rather than treating repairs as isolated expenses, inspections establish a consistent flow of data; documenting membrane condition, drainage performance and structural integrity. That information supports more predictable budgeting, allowing maintenance to be planned instead of forced by emergency. 

The benefits extend beyond cost control. Well-maintained roofing systems contribute to energy performance by improving reflectivity and reducing strain on HVAC systems. They also support compliance by creating a documented record of care, which can help mitigate liability during insurance claims or tenant disputes. 

As expectations around building performance continue to rise, the role of preventative maintenance is becoming more defined. Roof inspections are no longer viewed as discretionary tasks, but as a core component of long-term property management, one that protects both the physical asset and the stability of the operations beneath it.
