Signs You Need a Repair
Interior Signs of Roof Damage: Key Indicators to Watch For:
Here are some common signs that you may need a repair:
- Leaks or Water Stains – If you notice water stains on your ceiling or walls, it could mean you may have a leak.
- Missing or Damaged Shingles – Cracked, missing, or curled shingles can let water damage your home.
- Sagging – A sag could be a sign of structural damage and needs immediate attention.
- Moss or Mold Growth – Moss or mold can trap moisture, causing further damage to your shingles.
- High Energy Bills – If your energy bills are rising, you might not have enough insulation in your attic.
If you see water stains, especially from flashing issues, call us done right away to avoid a full replacement.
Replacement becomes necessary only when shingles remain saturated, leading to decay over time.
Moss and Mold Growth: The presence of moss or mold indicates moisture-related growth on your shingles. Theres many methods to address these issues. Manual removal with a brush, having algae treatment done or you may have too much shade from trees around your house. Of course, replacing the entire roof would be a final solution.
Age Matters: Typically, a well-maintained roof can endure for up to 20 years. Consider repairs around the 15-year mark and contemplate replacement as you approach the 20-year milestone.
Shingle damage Issues: Repair or Replacement?
If you notice missing or displaced shingles, you can often replace them individually. If a lot of shingles are missing, tore or laying loose on the home or yard. It may be more cost effective to get a full replacement.
Layer Logic: Replacement becomes necessary when you home already bears two layers from previous fixes. We do not recommend going over any layers as this can cause more problems.
The Rule: As a general rule of thumb, consider a full replacement if more than 30% of the surface area sustains damage.
Our expertise covers a wide range of material types, including Shingle, Metal, Tile, Coatings, Taper, and TPO.

CUSTOMER SERVICE
We Strive to be the Best
It's frustrating to have a leaky roof and not knowing how much time you have before your roof caves in or causes major water damage. Giving Christopher a call was probably the best choice we could've made. The crew was quick and it went a lot better than I had expected, considering I've never had a problem with my roof in a house before. Thanks again!
