COMMON ROOF REPAIRS NEEDED FOR ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFS

Asphalt shingle roofs are affordable, which is why they are one of the most common roofs you will see on buildings. However, there are several things that you need to look out for when your home or business has an asphalt shingle roof. An effortless way to stay on top of the condition of your roof is to hire our roofing contractors to do an inspection once or twice a year. Here are some common issues we will look for during your roof inspection. 

Fixing Attic Ventilation Systems: Asphalt shingles tend to start curling due to exposure to the elements for extended periods of time. However, when shingles curl it could also be a sign of poor attic ventilation. Our roofing contractors can come to look at your attic ventilation system to ensure it is functioning properly if your shingles are curling. 

Sealing Cracks: Asphalt shingles typically crack due to excessive moisture from the elements or because they are old. Sometimes the cracks can be fixed with simple roof repairs like adding sealant to the cracks, but it all depends on the severity of the damage. 

Moss Removal: Moss tends to grow when there is a lot of moisture on a roof and the roof does not get a lot of sunlight. This is why it is important to have a draining system such as a gutter to reduce the amount of standing water on your roof. If you notice moss has started growing on your roof, contact our roofing contractors and we will come to help you get rid of it. In some cases, we can treat your roof and clean off the moss, but sometimes we must do some roof repairs and replace the shingles with moss growing on them. 

Shingle Replacement: Intense winds or other extreme weather patterns can result in losing shingles. Be sure to check after storms to make sure your roof is not missing any shingles. If you are missing shingles, contact our roofing contractors so we can schedule a time to come and replace them.
