Licensed Roof Replacement Company
Roof repair and roof replacement are two different things. You might see a sign of a problem on your roof, but most of the time you won’t be able to tell if it needs repair or replacement.
- Your Roof Is Over 25 Years Old – Typical roofs last anywhere from 20 to 25 years with proper maintenance. As your residential roof gets old it gets weaker. If your roof age is over 25, spending on repairs is a waste of money. Instead of roof repair make a wise decision and replace the roof altogether.
- Shingles Curling, Buckling, or Missing – Among all the roof materials shingles are the ones most exposed to sunlight, rain, and wind. The shingles start to curl and buck due to environmental factors over time. If you see shingles are curling and losing granules or missing altogether.
- Roof Valleys – Roof valleys are one of the most important areas of your roof. It acts as a path for rainwater and snow to the gutters. If your roof valley is damaged you will soon notice a roof leak that will need to be repaired or it could damage your entire roofing system.
- Visible Moss and Algae – If the moss and algae remain undetected for a long period of time it might be a huge problem. Moss holds an excess amount of moisture in it and moisture is one of the major causes of roof damage.
- The Ceiling is Sagging – Sagging ceilings can be dangerous. If kept ignored for a long period of time it could even collapse. If you detect a soggy ceiling contact a roofing professional as soon as possible. A soggy ceiling is caused by an excessive amount of moisture from a leak.
