Another Home Roof Inspection
and Estimate in Bowie, Maryland by http://www.HomeRestorationsMD.com and this time with a
roofing TIP. As you'll see in the video, some "roofing contractor" tried to fix this roof and
really botched the job. The area was in the rear of the home, very high off the ground, and
could not be seen by the homeowner from the ground. The result? A leaking roof and a lot of
damage to the owner's family room ceiling. How can you avoid this happening to you? First, make
sure the contractor has [ more...]

Md Roof Contractor Makes Replacing Skylights Fast
& Easy
So you've recently noticed that your skylight glass is fogged; yet
after cleaning with Windex the streaking is still there. What's up with that? Well, it sounds
like the glass "seal" inside your insulated glass unit has failed, causing condensation and

secured with 1-1/4" roofing nails. 4. A sealing bead of Geocel Tripolymer Sealant is placed in a
circular ark around [more...]
