Roof Repair

Detecting the signs a roof repair is in order:

• Curling or clawing shingles – a sign of an aging roofing system that is receiving too much heat from the lower floors
• Missing granules and bare spots – poor drainage design washes away granules creating a waterfall effect. Physical damage from the elements can cause bare spots and the shingle will harden over time. Missing granules and bare spots will cause the shingles to degrade faster making a roof repair a necessity
• Broken and missing shingles – reduce a roof’s ability to drain water from its’ surface and the broken or missing shingles can be an entry-point for water that isn’t draining fast enough from the roof
• Buckling shingles are another indication that a roof repair is required – when the shingles are buckling they are susceptible to the wind and curl up or be taken right off the structure. Also, ice can accumulate under the surface of the buckling shingles creating further damage that a roof repair can prevent.
• Damaged flashings aren’t always visible but they poses problems – signs that flashing maybe in need of repair are dried out caulking. Loose hardware on the flashing through contraction and expansion will lift providing an access point for water to enter your home through joints around your roof.
