Colonies may have as many as a million termites or more—enough to eat a pound of wood per day. Of course, when termites are hidden inside your walls or up in your attic, you may not find this until it’s too late and your dealing with major structural damage to your roof. If you discover termite damage, it’s strongly advised you call an exterminator as soon as possible.

Tile Roofing

Our roof experts at Done Right Roofing take every step to create beautiful, durable roofing systems for our clients. Tile roofs are among the most aesthetically beautiful types of pitched roofing systems. They do, however, require special installation and maintenance. Why is tile the most popular roofing product in the world? It has durability beyond compare, energy cost savings, and protection like no other roofing material. With over a century of proper field performance in other parts of the world, Tiles provide the longest track record of performance compared to other roofing materials such as asphalt shingles. It requires some maintenance, but even if it needs to be removed occasionally so the roof underneath can be restored, the same tile can be placed on the roof again, having a lifespan of five to six decades.
