Roofs provide shade; we all know that. Despite this one important thing that it usually provides us, roofs are an aspect of homes that usually go unnoticed or just remain as a thought in the back of our minds.
A lot of homeowners are, however, aware of the importance of roofs, but they cannot find the appropriate information that they need to know about what goes on under and in the making of the rooflines.
As if these things were not on a homeowner’s plate already, the next thing that they have to deal with is the doubts.
Will it make the house too hot?
Will it fade over time? What is the lifespan?
We noticed these discrepancies, which is why we had to do something about it. So we created this small space in the vast web of the internet.
Let us introduce you to MyBlackRoof. Wanna know more? Keep reading.
How We Approach Every Guide
The first step in curating any informational content for our readers is asking one plain question: What would a homeowner regret not knowing? And this question basically sums up our entire approach.
We ask this question because we hear the stories of our fellow homeowners. They love their roofs until they are met with unnecessarily complex jargon. Our approach also includes simplifying that headache for you.
Most stories that we come across are not about bad roofs but the missing information. Which is why we write to fill these gaps.
Our process is:
- Research first. We start with manufacturer specifications, industry standards, and published testing.
- Verify with our team and practitioners. We cross-check findings with professionals, both in and outside our team, who work with the roofing materials on a daily basis.
- Write for action. We make sure that each of our guides ends with actual advice that you can actually put to use.
Our Team
Our content comes with the hope of solving day-to-day roof queries for you, which is why we make sure that the information we provide you is coming from organic sources, that is, the people who have spent time inside the subject. This is why we have built the team around the questions homeowners ask most, so the person who is answering knows best about roofing.
Our team is led by our roofing materials expert, Eric Stevens, who has more than 10 years of practical experience in residential roofing systems, materials, and durability evaluation. Lance Diamond covers roof replacement, installation methods, roofing systems, project planning, and long-term roof performance.
Next, we have Michael Walter, who is our go-to person whenever something goes wrong. Eric Koelger, our Storm and Weather Roofing Expert, focuses on what your roof faces and gives the insights accordingly.
Together, these four experts cover the full life of a roof, so whatever information that we bring to you comes from experienced and informed hands.
Who This Site Is For
This small corner is for homeowners; that is all we have to say.
It is for those people who are replacing a worn-out roof and want to compare materials before choosing which one to use. We also make sure, however, that the DIYers are not left alone. It is for those who want to understand the process before deciding what they have to do.
Which is why you do not have to know the difference between underlayment and finishing beforehand, as we will make sure that you do.
Our Belief
Our belief, in simpler terms, is “roofs are an important aspect of life, and therefore should not be a gamble.” A roof is the first thing the weather meets and protects us from calamity. Yet it gets overlooked in more houses than we would have anticipated.
Good design and good functionality can go together, and our team has made that come true. Our next motive? Guaranteeing that for you.
So stay tuned with us, as we promise to give you the best in the world of roofs and related decor. This time, there is no doubt. A roof you choose on purpose and with awareness.
That is the ending we aspire to write for you.
