It is difficult to be sure
without having a trained
professional
roofing contractor
inspect the property, but a
few things that you can look
at and consider are:
Age of roof- If roof is
over 15 years old or if you
are seeing one of the
following signs it is
probably time to start
considering re roofing.
Wet spots on ceiling
- If you are seeing brown
spots on your ceiling, or if
water is dripping into home
from the ceiling it could be
a problem with your roof or
roof ventilation. Because it
could be from many
possibilities it would be
best to have a professional
inspect the roof.
Damaged flashing -
Flashing that is damaged
could cause leaking. Causes
for damaged flashing could
range from improper
installation to corrosion of
old flashing. If your
flashing does not look right
contact us for a free
inspection.
Asphalt Roof Issues
Missing Granules -
When a new roof it is common
to lose some granules.
However if your roof has
been on for a while, and
there are excessive granules
in your gutters it could be
an indication that your roof
is nearing the end of it’s
life.
Buckled Shingles -
Buckled shingles could
fracture and cause leaking.
This could also be a symptom
of a much more serious
moisture issue. If you have
buckling in your roof
contact a professional for
an inspection and diagnosis.
Missing Shingles -
Missing shingles are
commonly caused by windy
conditions if the shingles
are either old, or possibly
they were not installed
properly. Missing shingles
can cause leaking. Missing
shingles are a serious
issue. However they are
easily repaired. If you have
missing shingles and need a
repair contact us for a
quick and easy roof repair.
Curling Shingles - When
shingles reach the end of
their life the roofing
reinforcement can contract
and cause the roof to
“Curl”. If the roof is over
15 years old and the
shingles are curling it
could be a sign that it is
time to replace the roof. If
the roof has been recently
installed and the shingles
are curling it could be a
sign of a roofing
manufacturer defect and
should be inspected for
determination.
Algae Staining -
Algae is the dingy stain
that makes the roof look
dirty. Algae by itself does
not ruin a roof. However
moss feeds on algae. When
moss grows on shingles it
attaches to granules. When
moss is removed from the
roof it takes granules that
reflect UV rays with it
exposing waterproofing
asphalt, and shortening the
roofs life.
