The Most Common Roof Repairs

Like almost everything in your house, roofs suffer wear and tear. They are likely to be due for maintenance and repairs at some point or another. We recommend regular roof maintenance at least every two years. A damaged roof can spell trouble. Your roof is especially susceptible to damage because it is, after all, the cover that stands between you and nature. It tends to take the brunt of it all: rain, snow, hail, wind and everything in between. The good news is, through roof repairs and roof restoration the damage can usually be fixed.

Some of the most common roof repairs might include:

• Shingles: These are the main coverings on your roof. There are several problems that can arise with your shingles. You might experience curling, breaking, or damage due to age, storms, or weather.
• Gathering water: If you notice the collection of water on your roof, this is likely to call for a repair. It might be an indication that there is build up from your HVAC unit or other causes leading to the gathering puddle.
• Leaks: Any kind of moisture seeping in through your roof is bad news. If you notice water coming in through your ceiling, you likely have a leak somewhere and need to get it checked immediately for leak repair.
• Punctures: Strong hail or falling debris can pose a real threat to your roof. Damage to your roof can be done by falling tree branches or other obstructions that penetrate the roof or compromise its structure.
• Gutters: Technically part of your roof, though they are often overlooked; a well-working gutter system will help direct water away from the foundation of your home. Problems with your gutters will extend to your roof and require repair.
• Flashings: Flashing is what seals walls, drains, and penetrations in your roof. The main function here is to seal any part that might compromise the roof and allow moisture in. The material is usually aluminum or galvanized steel. Weather and oxidation are often at fault for bad flashing.
