Your roof is an integral part of your home that, if jeopardized, can compromise your home’s ability to withstand the elements.
In order to maintain your roof and increase its lifespan, you should be able to recognize any symptoms of a faulty roof and take the necessary responsive action.
The first thing you’ll need to know are the signs of a damaged roof.
There are many indicators that your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, both overtly and discretely. The visual signs of a damaged roof could be things like missing, buckling, or cracked shingles or shingles that display exceptional wear and tear, which could just need a shingle replacement. If there are any leaks or visible signs of wear inside the house, then those could also be signs of a faulty roof. However, there are some signs that aren’t as obvious that could also indicate a failing roof. Things such as an electrical bill that is progressively getting higher could indicate a poor roofing ventilation system that needs replacing. Typically, 38% of heat is lost through windows and doors and single-pane windows could increase that heat loss to 50%, but a poorly ventilated roof could also be a large contributing factor. Other signs could be blistering paint (again, due to poor ventilation), stains on walls or ceilings, mold or mildew in the attic, or water damage.
If you have a roof in need of replacement based on things like bad shingles, sometimes all you need is a shingle replacement. In other words, even though you may think you need a total roof replacement, you could get the same results with a simple sectional repair. If the majority of your roof is in great condition, but you have a section that exhibits wear or damage, then you could potentially just repair or replace that section alone. You should consult with us to determine whether you should repair or replace your roof.
Consulting a roofing professional should be your first step in order to determine which route you should take. There are various options available and we can help you figure out which one is best for your situation.

Over time, the elements will take their toll on any roof. Paying attention to these danger signals of a failing roof may protect your wallet as well as your home.
