Roof repairs and replacements can be expensive. However, they can also be incredibly worthwhile. This is especially true if your roof is showing signs that it needs to be worked on. If you fail to invest in your roof when it is showing signs it needs work, then your home can experience water damage, structural damage, or other types of damage.
Here are some of the top signs you need to invest in your roof. When you see these things happening to your roof, it is time to call the roofing company.
1. There are stains on the ceilings
If you see stains on the ceilings in your home, then it most likely means that water is leaking through the roof and pooling up. If this problem goes unchecked, then it can result in a buildup of mold, and it can also cause damage to the ceilings. For this problem to be corrected, the leak must be found. Our trained professionals can find the leak and repair it. This will stop the damage from occurring.
2. Curling or buckling is occurring on your roofs
If sections of your roof are curling or buckling, then this is a definite sign that you need repairs or potentially even a replacement. This kind of damage can occur from direct sunlight over many years. It can also occasionally be caused by other types of damage. Regardless of your cause, this is a serious problem and needs attention.
3. Large dark spots on your shingles
Large dark spots on your shingles can mean that there is an overgrowth of mold, algae, or vegetation happening on your roof. If you see a lot of these spots on your roof, then it means that the shingles are getting compromised. This is common with older roofs. In such a circumstance, you may be able to get away with cleaning the shingles. However, if the problem is extensive, you may be a complete roof replacement.
4. Shingles are missing
Missing shingles are obviously a problem. This is because shingles are designed to work together to direct water off of roofs. So, if shingles are missing, then it creates weak spots in your roof. These weak spots can result in roof leaks. If water starts getting through your roof, then it will cause damage and mold will most likely start to grow. So, missing shingles need to be fixed.
5. Obvious structural damage
This kind of damage often occurs during heavy storms such as tornadoes, hurricanes, or hailstorms. It is very easy to spot because there may be a hole in your roof, a section may be missing, or there may be a lot of damage from a fallen tree limb. If this sort of damage has occurred to your roof, then you are going to need to invest in your roof ASAP. Otherwise, you will probably end up paying more money in repairs from all the water damage that will result if your roof is not fixed.
