Many homeowners want to know if they can just repair the roof instead of replacing the entire roof. This will be determined by a few factors like the age of your roof foremost, and also the extent of the damage. To get you the most thorough answer we will have to give you an honest roof condition analysis by one of our expert roofing contractors. Some of the things we look for during our inspection include:
Missing Shingles
High winds can blow off asphalt shingles, leaving areas of your roof unprotected and susceptible to leaks. You will want to address this quickly as this could create water damage inside the house and mold in other parts of the house. It also will impact how well your home can maintain a comfortable temperature. Some homeowners choose to replace the entire roofing system when there are large patches of missing shingles. This will help preserve curb appeal and fortify your home’s weather protection.
Leaks
North Carolina winds, are no stranger to flying debris. When these debris collide with your roof they can punch holes in it and causing wear and tear on the shingles. Water can then pass through the gaps and drip into the interior. Leaks may also affect the indoor temperature and comfort level of your home. No matter how small the leaks may be, contact us for a prompt roof repair.
Loss of Granules
Shingle granules help reflect heat from the sun to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. Loss of granules is also a common roofing problem during storms. We can replace shingles to protect your home and prevent further damage from additional storms.
Damaged Vents
Roof vents are prone to storm damage, as well. During a roof repair, ask your roofer to inspect your vents and gutters to address any damage that may be there.
