3 Ways to Reduce Fire Risk for Roofing

Hail, wind, water and sun can damage your roof in different ways, but their effects can be usually mitigated, allowing your roof to last longer. But here’s something that not only causes instant roof damage, but also comes with irreparable effects–fire. To reduce the risk of fire on your roofing system, you’ll need to take a few necessary steps. The premier roof repair and replacement company in the area, Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. shares some of them here.

Keep the roof clean. Leaves and other loose debris can accumulate on top of your roof. This may seem like a minor issue, but it can actually increase the potential for roof fires. That’s because some of these debris are flammable. Simply clearing away the debris on your roof can lower the chance of this buildup catching fire.

Invest in fire-resistant roofing materials. Roofing systems are not only tested for weather resistance–they are also rated on how effectively they can withstand fire exposure. Your best option is to choose a roofing system with a Class A fire resistance rating. The reliable roof replacement expert, Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. offers top-tier asphalt fiberglass composition shingles from top manufacturers, like GAF®. These types of shingles are generally rated Class A because of their ability to protect your roof structure and home from fire exposure.

Make sure your chimneys are cleaned regularly. Every time you light a chimney fire, partially combusted materials form part of the soot and debris that go up the chimney. These materials, along with other organic debris, often stick around the sides of the chimney, upping the risk of ignition and sending sparks up your roof. You’ll want to have your chimneys cleaned periodically for this reason.

Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. is not just your trusted deck builder–we are also your go-to company for high-quality roofing services. With our safe and Class A fire rated options from GAF®, we’ll make sure your roof and home can remain sturdy and fire-proof. We proudly serve the areas in and around Warwick, NY.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
