When it comes to ensuring that you get the best year-round protection and longest lifespan from your residential roof, having ridge vents professionally installed continues to rank high on the list of essentials. In short, they help release and regulate trapped warm air to prevent moisture accumulation, infusion and potential damage to shingles, support structures and other critical roofing components.  Over time, accumulating moisture can cause a wide array of slow forming damage that eventually results in buckling, warping and a host of additional problems.

Effective September 1st 2019, homeowners will have an added layer of protection when it comes to preventing being scammed by less-than-reputable roofing companies. According the to the Texas Insurance Commission it is illegal for contractors to waive or absorb insurance deductibles, as well as to offer deductible-based rebates as a selling point to get your business.  This is more common than most homeowners might imagine, and should serve as a huge red flag to anyone in need of roof repairs or full roofing system replacement.

It’s understandable that when the time comes to replace your roof, most hardworking people aren’t secretly sitting on hidden piles of cash.  It’s a big expense and a major undertaking, we get it.  And when you consider what a significant investment it is to your home, the last thing anyone wants to do is skimp on quality materials or installation.  This is when having the ability to finance a new roof can be extremely handy.

If you’re anything like most homeowners, you probably don’t find yourself calling for roof repairs until a problem is visibly noticeable.  The truth is, however, that many common roofing problems can be identified and resolved early, saving you a considerable amount of time, money and stress.

When it comes to roof repairs or replacing your roof, there is absolutely no room for compromised quality and experience.  Done properly, it will provide you and your loved ones with years of worry-free protection from the elements, including rain, hail, excessive heat, strong winds and much more.  Having GAF, the largest roofing manufacturer in North America agree to partner with our company reflects being among the best of the industry.

It can be easy to forget that your company’s roofing structure needs to be inspected on a regular basis, and we’re not just talking about a quick once-over from time to time. Some of the most common (and costly) commercial roof damages typically form without any warning, growing quietly over time, all the while remaining undetected to the naked eye. Only when things hit a breaking point do many businesses discover that there’s an issue. Ironically, many problems can be resolved simply, and long before they wreak havoc on your building.

Even when you see it every day, it can be hard to believe how significantly new siding can transform the look of a home. One of our recent projects involved the complete installation of new siding for a residential customer in Euless, TX, and we thought we’d take you through it. This project was led by our technician Jason, and as you’ll see from watching the video, it turned out absolutely stunning.

In this video Eric Thomason of Blue Nail Enterprises takes you on a walk-through of an exterior remodeling project we recently completed. After working closely with the homeowners to determine the best look and course of action for their house, we installed new vinyl soffit and wrapped all of the exterior trim and fascia to enhance appearance and protection while eliminating the need to paint.

The Blue Nail team always loves a good challenge. So when the homeowners in this Before & After home improvement video came to us with their concerns, we immediately embraced the project and took it as a professional quest to bring out the true beauty of this lovely home in Bedford TX.  As you’ll see from the Before video, the existing paint, wood trim and window dormers were nothing short of a mess.
