Alaskan winters are windy. Recent winters have hurled hurricane force winds against our homes. If you don't take the proper precautions, the type of preventative maintenance we specialize in at Curiosity Builder, your roof can age faster than it should and leave you spending tens of thousands more than you should.

Here at Curiosity Builder we have a repair first mindset. Our goal is to extend the life of your roof where it is possible.

• Prevent future wind damage.

• Extend the life of your roof.

• Stop storms from blowing the shingles off your roof.

• Protect your home from a premature roof replacement that could have been prevented.

Alaska's cooler climate and long harsh winters often mean that your shingles don't adhere to your roof the way that they should. This leads to:

• Broken and missing shingles.

• Creased and loose shingles.

• Shingles pulling off the nails.

• Broken seal tabs (often hidden from view).

How do I fix this without spending $20k on a new roof?

• We can replace individual shingles and close any leaks that may be related.

• We can also 'hand tab' the entire roof, or the faces most at risk of future wind damage.

What is Hand Tabbing?

• At Curiosity Builder we take a studious approach to hand tabbing where we manually check each shingle on your roof looking for loose shingles.

• The 'tabbing' process is actually quite simple. We take a tar based roofing cement and hand apply it to the underside of each loose shingle. Once cured, the tar will grip your shingles with a psi of more then 5,000.

• This process gives your roof more strength to stand up to the high winds we often face here in Alaska and can extend the life of your roof which in turn gives your wallet some relief.
