    At JBL Roofing and Construction, we understand that your home is your sanctuary, and maintaining it is paramount. This is why we offer a range of services that go beyond roofing, covering everything you need for an exterior home makeover.

    • Holistic Approach: While traditionally, only a few contractors ventured into the realm of gutter installation, siding, windows, and doors, we believe in offering a comprehensive package. This helps you avoid the hassle of coordinating with multiple service providers.
    • Seamless Workflow: When we take on your roofing project, we’re not just limited to replacing the shingles. For instance, during the roofing process, we might need to remove old gutters. We ensure this transition is smooth by scheduling a gutter replacement immediately following the roof installation.
    • Aesthetically Pleasing Results: A new roof can often make the existing exterior elements of your house seem outdated. We believe in ensuring that every part of your home exterior complements each other.
    • Damage Prevention: Ensuring proper gutter installation is crucial to avoid water damage. Our team’s expertise in handling water drainage systems adds an extra layer of protection for your house.

    At JBL, we are committed to providing you with an all-inclusive solution for your home exterior needs. Get in touch with us for a consultation. Visit our website www.jblrc.com or give us a call. We’re ready to make your home improvements a seamless, stress-free experience.

  • Embrace Modern Roofing Solutions with Advanced Shingle Technology

    At JBL Roofing and Construction, our extensive experience has allowed us to witness the incredible advancements in shingle technology over the years. Earlier, we commonly used three-tab shingles, which, while popular, often lacked durability due to the insufficient tar used to hold them in place. Over time, temperature fluctuations would weaken the tar, causing the shingles to become loose.

    However, modern roofing technologies have brought about:

    • High-Definition Shingles: These provide superior protection even in high wind conditions, as evidenced by our own homes that have withstood 80 mph winds without losing a single shingle.
    • Algae Resistance: The presence of algae-resistant components in newer shingles helps prevent unsightly algae growth, especially in homes surrounded by trees or in areas with significant shade.
    • Dimensional Shingles: These are made of double laminate, making them considerably more robust and longer-lasting than traditional three-tab shingles. They can easily last for 35-40 years.

    Not only do these improved shingles provide superior protection, but they also enhance your home’s curb appeal with their superior aesthetic quality. However, to make the most of these high-quality shingles, you need an experienced team for installation.

    As seasoned professionals, we at JBL Roofing and Construction have the expertise to install these shingles on your roof flawlessly. Check out our website for more information and insightful videos that can help you understand the roofing process better.

    Don’t hesitate to give us a call and take the first step towards a sturdy, attractive roof today!

  • The Ideal Order for Home Improvement: Roof, Siding, or Windows First?

    [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSILDi-gT6M[/embedyt]

     

     

    In the process of home improvement, understanding the proper sequence of tasks can significantly impact the efficiency and quality of the project. At JBL Roofing and Construction, we recommend prioritizing your home upgrades in an order that saves you time, money, and avoids unnecessary damages.

    When it comes to deciding between roof, siding, or windows replacement, consider the following:

    1. Start with the Roof: The roof should always be your starting point for several reasons. Roofing is a messy job, with debris and materials often falling from above. If you’ve recently installed new siding or windows, this could lead to scratches or even structural damage. So, it’s wise to get your roofing project out of the way first.
    2. Next Comes the Siding: Once your roof is in good shape, it’s time to turn your attention to the siding.
    3. Finally, the Windows: Concluding your home improvement journey with window replacement ensures that all the “big tasks” are done, and you can focus on fine-tuning your home’s aesthetic.

    Remember, this is a recommended order and depending on the specific conditions of your home, the sequence could vary. At JBL Roofing and Construction, our team of professionals is always ready to help you assess the best approach for your specific needs.

    If you’re planning a home makeover or need an inspection, don’t hesitate to visit our website and schedule an appointment. Let’s transform your home together.

  • Spring Roofing Alert: Top 3 Roof Issues After Winter and How to Solve Them

    [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0CMdpVr4dw[/embedyt]

     

    As we transition from the harsh winter months to the refreshing breezes of spring, it’s crucial to examine our homes for any potential damage caused by the winter weather. At JBL Roofing and Construction, we often observe a recurring set of issues during this season that homeowners need to address promptly.

    Here are the three most common springtime roofing problems:

    1. Clogged Gutters and Downspouts: Debris can accumulate in your gutters and downspouts over winter, leading to water backflows that may cause leaks inside your home. It’s essential to ensure that your gutters are free of debris and functioning correctly.
    2. Damaged Shingles: Heavy snow and ice can cause your shingles to curl or slide, which could result in serious damage if unattended. Always inspect your shingles, ensuring they lie flat and show no signs of deformation.
    3. Problematic Roof Valleys: Areas where valleys dead-end into a wall or homes with multiple valleys require special attention. These are often more susceptible to leaks and thus should be thoroughly inspected.

    Preventing springtime roofing problems starts with a comprehensive roof inspection. The team at JBL, with years of experience under our belt, is equipped to identify these issues and provide appropriate solutions before they escalate into significant damage.

    This spring, don’t let minor roofing problems snowball into substantial repair costs. Schedule a roof inspection with JBL Roofing and Construction today. Visit our website at jblrc.virtstage.com/ for more information.

  • Don’t Ignore that Leak: The Hidden Dangers of Roof Leaks to Your Home’s Structure

    [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGKpMF9BEAQ[/embedyt]

     

    A simple, often overlooked problem like a leaky roof can indeed cause significant structural damage to your home if not promptly addressed. Here at JBL Roofing and Construction, we often encounter the destructive effects that prolonged water exposure can have on a home’s integrity.

    The potential damage includes:

    • Rotting of the wood framework, such as two-by-fours and plywood
    • Weakening or breaking of trusses
    • Ruining of drywall
    • Mold formation in insulation

    In essence, a tiny leak can gradually soak and rot the wood structure, potentially leading to substantial, costly damage over time.

    Detecting a slow leak might be tricky for homeowners without construction knowledge. However, there are some telltale signs you can look out for: brown patches on your ceiling or walls, or moisture in your attic near heat stacks, soil pipes, or chimneys.

    That being said, the most effective way to prevent or mitigate leak damage is by scheduling regular checks with a reputable roofing contractor, such as JBL. We possess the expertise to identify potential problem areas and implement necessary repairs to prevent structural damage.

    Don’t let a small leak turn into a significant headache. Visit jblrc.virtstage.com/ today to schedule a comprehensive roof inspection. Trust JBL Roofing and Construction to safeguard the integrity of your home.

  • How to Patch a Roof

    So, you realize that there’s a leak in your roof. Perhaps the damage is because of a recent storm, or maybe it is merely worn and torn. If you’ve read this blog about cheap roof fixes and why they are not a good idea, then you probably know having an expert handle the repairs is the best option.

     

    But exactly how do roofing contractors patch a roof?

    The answer will all depend on where the leak on your roof is. When you contact a professional roofer like JBL Roofing & Construction, the first thing they will do is inspect it thoroughly. Their keen eyes and over 20 years of experience will allow them to assess the roof condition properly, locate the source of leaks, and determine the most suitable course of action to address the problem.

     

    For a roof that has valleys and wall crevices where water can get into, if you got a leak on the wall, potentially, the roofer will have to tear the wall apart when they do the flashing. Because you will never know where the hole is or the extent of the damage until you tear it apart.

     

    For up-and-over ranch roof types, you may have a leak around the soil stack or heat stack. Or maybe a nail popped up through the decking. It is relatively easier for roofers to patch a roof that requires them to pull a shingle, replace, and seal it. They only have to be careful when doing the patching.

     

    Whether patching a roof or doing a more thorough repair or replacement, JBL Roofing & Construction can definitely do them right for you. Check out www.jblrc.com to learn more, or contact them for their services.

  • Cheap Roof Fix

    Cheap Roof Fix

    A leaking or damaged roof is one of the worst nightmares of homeowners. And that is understandable, considering how annoying and costly it is to deal with water damage coming into your homes. But while roof repair requires immediate attention, it is probably not a very good idea to fix it yourself. Because while some issues seem minor and easy to address, a cheap roof fix by an amateur could worsen the damage on your roof.

     

    One of the most common cheap roof DIY repairs by homeowners is applying silicone sealants on leaky roof surfaces. But while silicone sealants may be a good enough fix for tubs, tankers, and other indoor sealing projects, they are not a good match for fixing roofs. You should also drop any roofing contractor who advises you to use silicone sealants for storm damage on your roofs and never contact them again because the wrong type of sealant may only make the repairs harder.

     

    What should homeowners do to deal with storm damage on roofs?

    Storm damage is not something you would want to mess up with, so it is still in your best interest to call the pros and let them deal with it properly. Experienced roofers like JBL Roofing & Construction can immediately get up your roof, inspect them thoroughly, and apply the appropriate fix for your damaged roof.

     

    If you’re wondering what you can do while waiting for the professional roofing contractor to arrive, Doug of JBL shares that putting up a tarp to cover the surface and weighing it down to secure it to prevent more water seepage will be more than enough. But you should only do this if you can climb up your roof safely. Also, do not overdo the temporary fix because it will only complicate or delay the repairs later.

     

    Your best bet for dealing with a storm-damaged roof is to contact a roofing contractor like JBL Roofing & Construction, which works quickly and precisely when resolving roof issues. Visit www.jblrc.com, or contact them for any roof repair and replacement concerns.

    We have our roofs to thank for protecting us from all kinds of weather. It is critical to keep our roof in tip-top condition, and it is imperative to repair any damage caused by severe weather as quickly as possible to prevent them from getting worse. But homeowners who live in areas frequented by storms know that when a storm comes and passes, the damage it causes to our roofs may not always be easy to spot. You can read this blog about the five common roof damages after a storm to give you some ideas, but it could still be challenging.

     

    And because few things could be worse than failing to detect and address roof issues and suffering the consequences of roof damages getting worse, it is best to get as much help as you can. Contact a roofing contractor like JBL Roofing & Construction to come up, inspect your roof, and inform you about any necessary roof repair after a storm.

    How Roofing Contractors Assess Roof Damage After A Storm

    A licensed, bonded, insured, and experienced roofing contractor like JBL Roofing & Construction, serving Northeast Ohio for over 20 years, has trained eyes for inspecting roofs and assessing damages. When you visit www.jblrc.com and fill out the forms to commission them to check or do roof repairs after a storm for you, you can expect that they will deploy their team immediately to respond to your needs.

    Their team typically takes a ground-up approach to assessing roof damage after storms.

    They will check your yard for any shingles blown off on the ground. Even one missing shingle could mean water will find a way inside your home in times of rain, so it’s a must to fix them.

    Some damages like broken seals, fractures, and creases that contribute to water saturation in your homes are often not visible from ground level, so you need their keen eyes to spot them.

    They’ll inspect your home’s sidings for any signs of it being pulled or buckled out because those are signs that the wind got there and tore them. Tears and buckles on flashing are also not a good sign.

    They will also check for dents and damages to gutters and downspouts, as well as other signs of leaks and water or hail damage.

     

    Remember that proper roof repair after a storm cannot happen without a thorough inspection of the entirety of the damage. For roof repair done right, trust only the experts at JBL Roofing & Construction.
