If you touch the inside of the window is it warm to the touch in the summer and cold to the touch in the winter?

When sitting next to a window, can you feel cool air coming from around it?

When you look at the window, is the trim cracking, rotting/ changing colors, or missing?

When holding a flame next to the window, does the flame flicker?

Do you have broken or cracked glass anywhere?

Hail Damage

Hail forms when frozen water drops are lifted in winds during thunderstorms. The frozen drops of water increase in size and eventually fall to earth as hail having been driven by a combination of gravity and wind forces. Hail size distributions tend to be localized with some roofs damaged, while others are not. Wind direction plays an important role, as well as roof pitch. A direct impact of hail on a shingle is more damaging than an indirect blow. Assessing hail damage is often accomplished by a roof inspection, which usually happens several days to several months after the hail storm. Figuring out if hail actually fell at a site can be made just by watching or listening to the news or by checking the weather report. Hail damage to asphalt shingles includes severe granule loss, material removal at the edges of the shingles and penetration. New asphalt shingles are more resistant to hail impact than older shingles since the asphalt becomes more brittle with age. Warmer shingles are more compliant and more resistant to fracture from hail when compared with colder shingles. It is very important to get the exteriors of your home inspected after a storm with hail, the damage to your home could create bigger problems and headaches that can be avoided. Call Legacy Exteriors local Madison WI roofing, siding, and window company today for you free hail inspection!

Siding Inspection

PDF

With the hard winters we get here in Wisconsin, it is important to take a quick walk around your home and inspect it. Doing this can tell you a lot and could also help you find and fix a problem before it becomes costly. All painted finishes eventually break down from exposure to sun and rain. But if paint has been applied to a properly-prepared substrate under suitable environmental conditions, it should last several years. If you're not getting good performance, the kind of failure can tell you about what caused the problem--and what you can do to correct it. Chalking and fading are normal signs of aging paint, for example, particularly on the south side of a house where UV exposure is greatest. But if there are blisters or peeling paint, it's likely that there's a moisture problem of some sort. This can be caused by leaking or broken gutters, but it can also result from moisture trapped behind the siding. If you have stucco siding, look for efflorescence and cracks, as well as flaking or peeling paint. If you have wood clapboards or shingles, check for rot, particularly down near the ground and where the siding meets trim. If you are worried that you may have one of the problems, call Legacy Exteriors, local Madison Wisconsin roofing, siding, and window company today for your free estimate!
