Signs Your Roof is in Trouble

1. Do you see dry rot underneath your house? When you can see exposed wood on your house, often this is a bad sign. Any exposed wood around your house could damage your house’s foundation. Additionally rotten wood is a common sign for various other problems that may have arisen. If you would like a professional set of eyes to evaluate feel free to call us today to schedule an appointment for rotten wood replacement with one of our technicians.
2. Worn out shingles or missing shingles. If you have worn out or missing shingles this means your roof is already compromised. Missing shingles are large enablers of roof leaks. Do you notice streaks on your roof or a very faded color? On average roofs are supposed to last between 20-25 years, if your house is old and you don’t know the last time its’ roof has been replaced you should call technicians to inspect your roof.When it comes to roof problems it is always best to air on the side of caution since your roof is the first line of defense your house has against the weather.
3. Roof valleys look rough. A huge red flag is when your roof valleys look worn or damaged. Roof valleys are one of the most important areas of your roof. Valleys collect water, snow, and ice to slide them off your house, so if they are compromised your house is too.
4. Clogged gutters or shingle granules in gutters are also a sign to look out for. See any of these signs? Contact us today for a free estimate and consultation.

Top Three Reasons You Shouldn’t Ignore Storm Damage

1. Waiting to claim damage on housing insurance can cause you to accidentally miss the deadline. Inspectors can tell when storm damage is new or old based on the condition of the damage. Reporting your storm damage as soon as possible is best for claiming it on your insurance.

2. Repairing your roof on your own is difficult and can be expensive, but so is paying for a new roof out of pocket. By filing and insurance claim you are saving money on a needed home repair.

3. Leaving your roof damaged can cause the granules to come off exposing the asphalt layer. The sun can dry out these exposed spots and make them brittle, so when the cold air returns they’d be susceptible to cracking. This can lead to leaks and holes in your roof.
