Have our knowledgeable experts inspect your roof
Roof inspection is the first and most important step in roof repair. Our roof inspector will look for damage, problems, and anything that needs to be fixed before moving on to the next step in the repair process.
A roof is one of the most important parts of a home, and it’s also one of the most expensive to repair or replace. That’s why it’s important to know what to look for when it comes time for a roof repair, and what steps are involved in the process. Repairing a roof is complicated, from inspection to finished product. Whether your roof is leaking or just showing signs of age, here are a few key things to know about roof repair before you get started.
One of the most common roof issues is leaks. Leaks can be caused by a variety of things, from broken shingles to damaged flashing. If your roof is leaking, it’s important to have it fixed as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your home. Other common problems that require roof repair include missing or damaged shingles, granules from shingles in gutters, and cracked or split shingles.
What are some common roof issues that we can fix?
Broken or Missing Shingles
If you notice that some of your shingles are missing or broken, it’s important to have them replaced as soon as possible. Missing or broken shingles can lead to water damage and other problems with your roof.
Damaged Flashing
Damaged flashing is a common problem around chimneys or along the siding or walls. Damaged flashing can lead to water damage and other problems with your roof.
Roof Leaks
Leaks are one of the most common roofing problems, and they can cause a lot of damage if not fixed quickly. If you notice any leaks in your roof, make sure to have them repaired as soon as possible.
Granules from Shingles in Gutters
When you find granules from shingles in your gutters, it means that the shingles are starting to wear out and need to be replaced. It’s important to have the shingles replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your roof. Usually this is a sign you need a full roof replacement.
Cracked or Split Shingles
If you notice that your shingles are cracked or split, it’s important to have them repaired as soon as possible. Cracked or split shingles can lead to water damage and other problems with your roof.
When should I repair a roof or replace a roof?
If you’re unsure whether you need a roof repair or replacement, the best course of action is to consult with a professional roofing contractor. They will be able to inspect your roof and determine the best course of action. In general, however, you should consider a replacement if your roof is more than 20 years old or if more than 30% of the shingles are damaged.
What’s involved in repairing a roof?
There are several steps involved in repairing a roof. The first step is to inspect the roof and determine the extent of the damage. Once the damage has been assessed, the next step is to remove any damaged or broken shingles. After that, repairs are made to the underlying structure of the roof, and new shingles are installed. Finally, the area is cleaned up and the repair is inspected to ensure that it’s been done properly.
We have a dedicated roofing repair technician that can diagnose any issues and repair them on-site if it is a common repair. If it is a larger repair, we can then order material and usually complete the repair in a few days.
