The Importance of Quality Roofing
Your home’s roof is its first line of defense against the elements. In Rhode Island, where we experience a wide range of weather conditions, having a sturdy and reliable roof is crucial. That’s where RTP Roofing comes in. As Rhode Island’s most trusted GAF-certified roofing contractor, we’re here to share some expert advice on maintaining and improving your home’s roofing system.
Why Choose a GAF-Certified Contractor?
When it comes to roofing, certification matters. GAF (General Aniline & Film) is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and their certification program ensures that contractors meet stringent standards. By choosing RTP Roofing, you’re opting for:
- Extensive product knowledge
- Proper installation techniques
- Ongoing training and education
- Access to premium materials
Signs Your Roof Needs Attention
Don’t wait for a leak to appear before addressing roofing issues. Here are some signs that your roof may need professional attention:
1. Missing or damaged shingles: Look for bare spots or curling edges.
2. Granules in the gutters: Excessive loss of granules indicates aging shingles.
3. Daylight through roof boards: Check your attic for any visible light coming through.
4. Sagging roof deck: This could indicate structural issues.
5. Water stains on ceilings or walls: These are often signs of a leak.

Investing in regular roof maintenance can save you money and headaches in the long run. RTP Roofing recommends annual inspections to:
– Identify and address minor issues before they become major problems
