It isn’t always obvious when you need a new roof installation. From water leaking into the attic to shingle discoloration, as emergency roof leak experts, our contractors have seen it all.
The following list could indicate your roof has signs of age & damage and is in need of repair or being replaced.
1. Shingle Edges are Curled or Cupped
- Curling shingles have turned up edges, making the central part of the shingle appear concave. This is a sign of significant weathering and deterioration, indicating that your shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan.
2. Bald Spots on Shingles
- Missing or loose granules result in bald spots on your shingles, compromising their protective capabilities. This indicates the protective layer is worn down, exposing your roof to further damage and potential leaks.
3. Shingle Edges are Cracked
- Cracked shingles occur due to the normal deterioration of the asphalt coating from age, drying, and weathering. Cracks weaken the roof's integrity, making it more susceptible to leaks and further damage.
4. Your Roof is 20+ Years Old
- Shingles today are durable, but their lifespan is generally around 20 years. If your roof is over 20 years old, it may be time to consider a replacement to prevent future issues.
5. Your Roof Looks Old and Worn
- Sometimes a roof can naturally reach the end of its useful life without experiencing a roof failure. If your roof visibly looks old and worn, it may be time for a new one to maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of your home.
6. Streaks on the Roof
- Black streaks on your roof are usually caused by algae, which can wear down the protective UV granules on shingles. Over time, this can reduce the lifespan of your roof and compromise its effectiveness.
7. Moss Growth on the Roof
- Moss can grow on roofs located in moist and shaded environments, trapping moisture against the roof’s surface. This persistent moisture can weaken shingles and lead to significant wear over time.
8. Your Neighbors Have a New Roof
- If homes in your neighborhood, built around the same time as yours, are getting new roofs, it may be a sign that yours is also due for replacement. Neighborhood roofs are likely to experience similar weathering and wear patterns.
A variety of roofing materials abd types are offered by us to meet diverse aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
Types of Roofing Systems
EPDM Flat Roof
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) flat roofs are renowned for their durability and are commonly used in commercial buildings. They provide excellent weather resistance and are relatively easy to install and maintain.
MOD-Bit Roof
- Modified bitumen roofing, or MOD-Bit, is flexible and highly resistant to harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for flat or low-slope roofs. Its multi-layered composition provides superior waterproofing and durability.
TPO Flat Roof
- Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO) roofing is energy-efficient, reflecting heat away from the building to reduce cooling costs. Its heat-welded seams offer strong protection against leaks, making it suitable for commercial applications.
Material Types
Asphalt Shingles
- Durable and cost-effective, asphalt shingles are a popular choice for many homeowners. They come in a variety of colors and styles, offering both versatility and aesthetic appeal.
Metal Roof
- Long-lasting and energy-efficient, metal roofs offer excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions. They also contribute to better energy efficiency by reflecting sunlight and reducing cooling costs.
Slate Roof Shingles
- Providing a sophisticated look, slate roof shingles are known for their exceptional longevity and natural beauty. They are also fire-resistant, adding an extra layer of protection to your home.
Cedar Shake Shingles
- Cedar shake shingles offer a rustic and natural appearance that blends seamlessly with the environment. Their natural insulation properties help maintain indoor temperature, providing energy savings.
Copper Roofs
- A premium option, copper roofs are highly durable and develop a beautiful patina over time. They add a unique and visually appealing touch to any home while offering a long lifespan.
The duration of the roof installation process can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and the type of materials used. On average, a standard residential roof installation can take anywhere from a few days to a week. Smaller roofs or straightforward projects might be completed in just one or two days, while larger, more complex roofs with multiple facets and angles may require more time. Pre-installation activities, such as removing old roofing materials and preparing the roof deck, also contribute to the overall timeline.
An essential part of the process involves the meticulous planning and preparation that precedes the actual installation. This includes assessing the roof’s structure, ordering the required materials, and scheduling labor. Our team strives to minimize disruptions and performs all tasks efficiently without compromising on quality. Regular updates and clear communication ensure that homeowners are informed of the project’s progress, helping to set realistic expectations for completion. Attention to detail in each stage guarantees that the new roof is durable, functional, and visually appealing.
