as well as create a breeding ground for mildew, fungus and even black mold. Before roofing leaks are allowed to get out of hand, call an experienced roofing company for an estimate on fixing your roof leak. While not all roof leaks are the same, 3-tab shingles may leak for specific reasons that other roofing materials may not. Use this guide to finding leaks on your three tab shingles and you’ll be sure you get your roof leak found and solved as soon as possible. If you suspect your roof has any leaks, call Roofer911 today at (703) 475- 2446 or send us an email with pictures of your roofing problem at Roofer911@gmail.com and we’ll send a qualified roofer to inspect your three tab or other roofing materials free of charge.
There are many reasons why a roof may leak. 3 tab shingles can leak for a variety of reasons.
Your three-tab shingle roof may leak if you find:
• Cracking - Asphalt shingles are held together by two things—the asphalt and the fiberglass or felt mats that the asphalt adheres to. In some cases, organic materials are used for the substrate of the shingle. These decay naturally with time and can cause a tab to crack off of the rest of the shingle, exposing the shingles underneath, creating a prime location for roof leaks to occur. If you see any cracked or broken tabs; don’t hesitate. Call Roofer911 today at (703) 475- 2446 and we’ll send a qualified roofer to your home for a no cost, no obligation estimate and you’ll see why we are Reston Virginias premier roofing company.
• Fish Mouthing - Curling of the inner channels or keys on a three tab shingle is a sign that something is wrong. Many times, this key curling is related to excessive moisture under the shingle. This can be caused by many reasons, the major one being improper attic ventilation. When moisture is allowed to accumulate in the attic space underneath of roofing materials, moist, humid air escapes along with the rest of the attics hot air directly through the roofing materials. This creates the curling edges in the keys affectionately called fish mouthing because it resembles an open fish’s mouth. This premature 3 tab shingle decay is serious cause for concern and can be the cause of your roof leak. If you see any signs of fish mouthing, immediately call Roofer911 at (703) 475- 2446 or send us an email with pictures of your roofing problem at Roofer911@gmail.com and we’ll provide you with a free estimate for your roofing repairs.
• Curling - Like fish mouthing, curling is when the outer edges of the shingles bend upward and the center of each tab is adhered flat to the roof deck. Curling can occur when shingles get too old, but it can also occur when attic ventilation isn’t adequate. Attic temperatures can exceed well over 150 degrees causing severe roofing damages if not properly ventilated. When curling occurs, it’s because the temperatures under the shingles are hotter than they are on the opposite side. This causes curling and premature aging. Curling shingles can be a big leak concern. If you notice any 3-tab shingles on your roof with curling edges, attic ventilation problems may be at hand. Call Roofer911 at (703) 475- 2446 and we’ll be happy to provide you with a no cost estimate for repairing your curling three-tab shingles.

Steve and his staff at Roofer911 are exceptional. He was able to quickly identify the source of the water leakage into my townhouse and had his crew there to make the repairs same day. Everything about his operation is very professional and I highly recommend Roofer911 to any homeowner!

I'd like to thank you and your crew for the outstanding work that you provided this week. Discovering water leaking into my living room was an unpleasant experience to say the least. But thanks to your expertise and quick response, the source of the problem was identified and fixed, same day! I really appreciate your thorough explanation and advice, and the way that you conduct business in such a professional manner. Your crew was equally as impressive.
I'd recommend your services without hesitation to anyone facing water issues -- in fact I have already recommended Roofer 911 to a colleague of mine.

I called Steve at 8:00 PM on a Thursday after my wife discovered a leak in our upstairs bathroom; not only did he take my call, but he told me he'd be at our house at 7:30 AM the next day. Steve was on time (10 minutes early, even) and immediately pinpointed the problem, showing me the obvious leak as well as an unobtrusive but still serious water problem on his infrared camera. Steve got me an itemized repair list within 20 minutes and by 9:15 AM, his crew had started work on my roof. By 11:00 AM, they were done.
I'm nothing short of amazed with the speed, expertise and results of Steve and his crew. I highly recommend Roofer911 for any roofing problems that you might have.

I was extremely pleased with Steve's teams work. From my first contact with him, through the whole work (including an unanticipated fan repair), Steve was professional and informative. His team kept thier schedule exactly as promised. I would recommend them to anyone needing roof work.

After countless roofing contractors with inflated prices; most of which did not want to do repairs they simply recommended putting a new roof on; Roofer911 was able to give me professional advice, repair my roof (the same day) at a much better price than the competitors. I'm now a fan of Roofer911

Two young men arrived to do the roof repairs. The young man who could speak English I would hire for any kind of work on my house (if he had the proper skills, of course). He was well informed, shared info to educate me, answered my questions, polite, during the work process he showed me what was happening. He was wonderful. Please let him read this. He is a very valuable employee and representative for you.
Thanks for for sending him to do this good work on our roof!

Ice Dam Repair
Reston
We woke up on Sunday morning with a leak in the ceiling. We called Roofer911 and Steve came out within an hour. He explained that we had an ice dam in our gutter. We received an estimate via email within another 30 mins and the guys showed up to work a couple hours later. The repair was done that day, and with tons of snow and ice (we had over 2 feet) on the ground. Only giving 4 stars because the guys were so busy they forgot to knock on my door when they were done! But no more leak, and Steve gave me great contacts for the new gutter and for inside repair if we need it.

In the middle of an historic snowstorm - I was fortunate to receive a prompt and efficient response to my leaking roof! Within 4 hours of my phone call Steven (owner)was at my house inspecting the damage and diagnosing the problem. That same afternoon Steven sent a crew to work on my roof. They applied sealant, installed flashing, sealed minor fractures to the vertical stem and installed a new attic fan. Steven and his men were very professional and courteous. The service was efficient and timely. Every time I contacted Steven he immediately responded. I would definitely recommend Roofer911 for prompt, reliable, efficient and professional service!!

Roofers 911 were extremely helpful and professional! I actually called them about a leak in the basement thinking that it was a foundation crack. Luckily they correctly diagnosed the problem as a roof problem where water was running down the side of the house to the basement. They sent an estimate and completed the work within one day and we haven't had a problem since. I highly recommend them!

Steve of "Roofer 911" is an outstanding person. His honesty, punctuality, knowledge, customer service and fairness is truly unique.
His diagnosis was just perfect, but the degree of his certainty was astounding!! I called him for the roof leackage. He checked out and within five minutes said " I guarantee the leakage is 99.9% from your gutters.
I'll repair your gutters, you wait for a couple of heavy rains and you'll see." He then repaired the gutters for a fraction of the cost of roof repair. He did this on a Sunday, since I was in a rush to deliver the house to my tenants.
Later he proved to be 100% right. It has been four months since then and the leakage stopped there and then.
No other roofer got even close to this. It was like everyone's eyes could only see the roof and not the gutters. He saved me time, money and hassel. I wish every contractor was like Steve. To me he acted like a symbol contractor.

Steve and his crew were the ultimate professionals. Steve took pictures and explained the repairs that were needed. The next day, he and his men arrived to to do the work. They spent several hours repairing the roof and installing a new attic fan. They cleaned up everything before they left. Steve called the next day to make sure that we were satisfied with the work, which we were. Many thanks.

As this was my first major home improvement job, I was wary of the entire process, from selecting a contractor to managing the delivery of the improvement. What was most important in my mind was finding someone I could trust. Steve responded to my request almost immediately, scheduled an appointment and then prepared a detailed proposal. He described in detail how the roof would be installed and left me feeling confident that he would perform a quality install. The service provided by Steve was outstanding. A professional roofing job from beginning to end.

I normally would not write a letter to commend a company for doing a good job, but I felt I would this time due to the exemplary service I received from Roofer 911. . After having at least a half a dozen other roofers come to my house to give me a quote on the same job, It was apparent to me that Roofer 911 had the best Prices, using the best material and a crew that was the most knowledgeable. While almost every other roofing company I interviewed needed at least 2 days to complete the project, Roofer 911 started the job at 8 AM and were completely finished by 3 PM the same day. I also have to commend the cleanliness and respectfulness of the crew for my home. They treated my house as if it were their own, and by the time they were finished, there were no old roofing tiles, or nails left around my property. I have to say that Roofer 911 not only met all my expectations but surpassed them. I appreciate all of their hard work and would Highly recommend them to anyone who needs roof work done at their home or business.
