Roof Maintenance and Repairs

Over time, your roof will suffer wear and tear from the elements. Strong winds can loosen shingles, hail can cause dents and cracks, and heavy snowfall can lead to sagging.

If you notice any of these signs of damage, it's important to act quickly to avoid more extensive and costly repairs down the road. In many cases, a simple repair will suffice. However, if the damage is too severe, you may need to replace your roof entirely.

Roof Maintenance is Important

Missing Shingles

When strong winds and storms occur along the Gulf Coast, it's not uncommon for shingles to be displaced. This can result in a variety of issues including an aesthetic one as well as increased maintenance costs because you have lost coverage from your rooftop's ability to protect itself. If these situations happen then missing tiles should definitely receive attention right away.

Flashing

Flashing refers to the material surrounding chimneys, skylights or other intrusions on your roof. It is meant to form a watertight seal. Damaged flashing is one of the main causes of a leaky roof and must be addressed right away. It is always a good idea to have flashing inspected on a regular basis.

Ponding

Ponding is the accumulation of water on a roof’s surface which can be caused by many things, including poor drainage and sagging roofs. Regardless if the issue is due to blockage or just slow release time - it needs attention quickly so as not to cause mold growth in your home.

Blistering

The symptoms of a roof blister are easy to miss, but if left unchecked they can lead to more serious problems. It's important that you take care of any blisters as soon as possible so your home has proper ventilation and protection from extreme heat. Small bubbles can form on our homes' asphalt roofs when it experiences high temperatures or lacks adequate venting.

Rusty Metal

With the passage of time, metal roofs may become vulnerable to rust. If left unchecked for too long or if standing water builds up on your property's rooftop- you could have a dangerous and expensive situation on hand! It is important that these issues be addressed by an experienced professional.

Leaks

Leaks are not only a result of the aforementioned issues but may also be caused by defective gutters, extreme weather, and other reasons. The bottom line is that any leak can cause major damage to your home including mold growth in walls or ceilings which could lead to illness if it's left unaddressed for too long!
