Comprehensive Roof Repairs and Maintenance

Does My Roof Need Repairs?

Recognizing the signs that your roof may need repair is crucial to preventing more extensive damage to your home. Here are some common indicators:

• Leaks and Water Stains: Water stains on your ceiling or walls usually indicate a roof leak. Even a small, occasional drip should not be ignored, as it can lead to more extensive damage over time.

• Missing or Damaged Shingles: If you notice missing, cracked, curled, or damaged shingles on your roof, it's usually a sign that your roof's protective barrier is compromised. This issue can expose your roof deck to the elements.

• Granule Loss: Check your gutters and downspouts for an excessive buildup of granules from asphalt shingles. Granule loss can indicate aging shingles that are no longer protecting your roof adequately.

• Sagging Roof Deck: The load-bearing section of your roof is called the roof desk. A sagging or drooping roof deck is a severe issue that should be addressed immediately. It can result from water damage, structural issues, or weakened supports.

• Moss or Algae Growth: While moss or algae on your roof may not directly damage it, either can indicate excess moisture and poor ventilation, which can lead to deterioration over time.

• Damaged Flashing: Damaged or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges can allow water to reach the interior of your home. If you notice any issues with flashing, it should be repaired promptly.
