How to Prolong Your Roof’s LifespanHow to Prolong Your Roof’s Lifespan

Has a recent storm caused a tree limb to fall on your home? Or maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve had your roof inspected? Impact damage and aging roof systems can have many homeowners wondering about shingle repair and replacement.

 

Broken or Missing Shingles

Intense wind and impact damage from fallen tree limbs and debris can all cause shingles to dislodge or break. If only a few shingles are missing, you might be able to get away with a quick roof repair. However, large areas will require your entire system to be re-roofed. If you currently only have one layer of shingles, you can typically have another added for less cost than replacing the entire roof.

 

Curling or Clawing Shingles

Inspect the edges of your shingles – are the corners curling up or down? Referred to as curling or clawing (respectively), this is a sign of poor ventilation or a hidden leak somewhere in your home. Heat buildup from your attic can cause shingles to fade or curl, hindering their ability to repel water. This can lead to water damage down the road.

 

Missing Granules

Roof granules are a protective coating that grant shingles their ability to repel water and keep your property safe. Storm damage from intense winds or heavy rain can wash away these granules, making your shingles more vulnerable to breaking or hardening in the sun.

 

Flashing Damage

Roofers use flashing to prevent water from seeping in to the joints of your home’s roof and walls. This flashing’s fasteners are known to come loose over time, thanks to your home’s natural tendency to expand and contract with the weather. If you notice warping, rusting or other damage, have flashing replaced right away.
