Residential Roofing Repairs
Someone who repairs roofing systems is known as a “roofing contractor.” That is exactly who we are, and what we do! If you’re looking for information on getting your home’s roof repaired, you are in the right place.
Finding and repairing a roof leak can be difficult. You may see water leaking into your home or notice where the water is entering, but simply repairing the hole or replacing the shingle may only solve the problem temporarily. In addition, you may end up covering a bigger problem that could grow more costly in the future.
A simple patch roof repair won’t permanently fix your leak, which might have been developing for a long time and resulted in water dripping from your ceiling. Moisture collecting in the frame of your home, especially in winter, may cause wood rot as well as mold growth, resulting in cracks under the roof growing larger. Simply put, you need a professional examination of your roof to determine where the real issue lies, and to see that it’s repaired properly.

The average lifespan of a residential roof in North America is about 20 years. That lifespan may be shortened by extreme weather, animal or insect infestation, accidents, low-quality materials, poor workmanship — or a number of other circumstances.
Often, it’s difficult to know whether to repair your home’s roof, or is it time to replace it? Familiarity with the five most common types of roof damage can help you decide on one or the other.
The only sure way to determine whether to repair or replace is to start with a professional inspection and price estimate from a roofing contractor.
Shingle Repairs
Shingles are the most common covering for residential roofs. They offer excellent protection against UV rays, strong winds, and other harsh weather conditions. In extreme conditions, they may be damaged or ripped away from your rooftop. If you find asphalt shingles on the ground around your house, or can see missing shingles from the ground, it’s time to call for a professional roofing contractor to inspect. Here is a brief list of what to look for:
- BROKEN SHINGLES – Shingles may become damaged during extreme weather and subsequently break. Quick replacement is required to prevent leaks.
- LIFTED SHINGLES – Shingles that are lifted are a sign that the shingles have curled or shrunk, possibly allowing water to seep underneath.
- SPLITTING SHINGLES – Shingles split when they expand and then suddenly contract due to a sudden change in temperature, especially during rapid temperature change conditions.
- SHINGLE SHRINKAGE – Shingles undergo shrinkage due to normal aging or having to endure extreme weather.
- CURLING SHINGLES – Excessive heat or insufficient moisture can cause shingle edges to curl inward or outward, resulting in problems.
- LOSS OF SURFACE GRANULES – Shingles naturally wear out, leaving the substrate exposed. If granules are strewn around your property, particularly in your downspout or rain gutter, your roofing shingles are showing wear.
Repairs for Leaking Roof
The roof exists to prevent moisture from entering the living space of the house. When it leaks the result is damage to the parts of the roof. Sometimes leaks can be caused by substandard sheathing installed beneath the substrate and shingles, allowing the roof to cave and moisture to puddle. These types of leaks are relatively each to see. Other leaks, especially near any flashing or vertical surfaces, may be a bit more difficult to expose. Only a roofing professional can truly find the source of a roof leak.

Professional Roof Inspections Are a Must
After a thorough on-site exam, we’ll provide you with a detailed report of the work that needs to be done to resolve any leaks or other issues, as well as the cost to complete the repairs. If the damage is beyond a certain percentage of the roof, it may be more cost-effective to replace the roof. Our experienced, trustworthy professionals will give you a complete picture so you may make the right decision for your family and your finances.
It’s crucial to hire a roofing contractor that has the experience and knowledge to fix your roof. Our contractors have been in business for more than 10 years, and we can quickly diagnose issues and provide the solutions you need.
If you’re concerned about face-to-face contact, or feeling pressured by a pushy salesman, we offer a no-contact, no-cost inspection of your roof. That’s right: our expert estimator will visit your house, inspect the roof, then he will provide an estimate electronically. We’ll be able to tell you why (and where) your roof is damaged, what your options are to repair it, and whether we suggest you replace it or not. Of course, we prefer to meet with you in person, and demonstrate where the issues are and what needs to be repair, but we leave that up to our customers.
