Your roof is your home’s defense against the harsh weather. That’s why regular maintenance and repair is important to keep it in good condition. If your roof shows these signs, then you need a replacement:
- Curling and Buckling Shingles – These indicate that your asphalt roofing in Calera, AL, is past its service life. Look for curling and buckling shingles in the western and southern sections of your roof because that area gets the most sunlight.
- Leaks – While we recommend repairs for localized and small leaks, several leaks at once and water stains in the attic call for a replacement. It could indicate that water has severely damaged your underlayment and deck.
- Missing Shingles – These can indicate that your roof’s shingle tabs are failing. Since roofs tend to age evenly, losing several shingles can compromise the entire roof. As the expert in residential and commercial roofing in Hoover, AL, we recommend an immediate replacement.
- Asphalt Granules In Your Gutters – These granules protect your shingles from the sun’s UV rays and its heat. Granule loss shows that your roof is at the end of its life span. Aside from checking your gutters, you can also look for black spots on your roof.
- Damaged Flashing – Flashing protects your roof’s angles and joints from water damage. If left undetected, water can invade in the gaps left by the flashing causing leaks. We’ll perform an accurate diagnosis of your roof to check if the damaged flashing compromised your roof system.
- Stains On Interior Walls And Ceilings – Even though your shingles look fine from the outside, there can be damage to the underlayment and deck. Water can now seep into the house, promoting mold growth and causing these stains.
