Roofing Companies- How do you find a good roofer?

If you live in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, how to you figure out which Charlotte roofing company is the best roofing company?  Do you look in the phone book and see who has the nicest name or the biggest ad?  No!  hardly anyone looks in the phone book anymore.

Do you watch the commercials on television?  No- most of us "Tivo" or "DVR" through the commercials. Even if you hear a spot on the radio, you are usually driving around or doing something else, and don't take the time to write down the company's name.  Most people- in fact 80%, (statistic from Google) go to the Internet to decide which company to use. 98% of them (Google statistic again) decide based on a company located on the first page of the search engines.

You go to the internet and put in "roofers in Charlotte" or "Charlotte roof installers" or "Best Roofing Company in Charlotte" and see what comes up on the first page.  You scroll through the searches - ignoring the Pay-per-click at the top and the right hand column, and stare at the listings. How do you choose which roofer to call?

Charlotte Roofing- why does my roof leak?

Have you noticed that sometimes the roof leaks and sometimes it doesn't?  We had some crazy, heavy rain last week and my roof leaked.  But a couple of weeks ago, when it rained, my roof did not leak!  (I left my little buckets out- just in case!)

What causes a roof to leak?

Well, I've been told by several roofers that the weathering of roofing shingles (asphalt) will not cause leaking.  So what really causes a roof to leak?

Damaged shingles can leave the roof exposed and cause leaking.
Flashings are crucial areas that must be watertight 
Shingles should always overlap.  If they are not aligned properly when installed, they may leak
Inadequate ventilation can cause ice, frost and the accumulation of condensation, which can be prevented with proper air circulation.Well, I've been told by several roofers that the weathering of roofing shingles (asphalt) will not cause leaking.  So what really causes a roof to leak?
