Roof Damage Warning Signs
The above list is not exhaustive. If you notice anything is out of place or think damage might have occurred from a storm or otherwise, don’t wait. Our roof inspections are free and you aren’t obligated to have work done. Our company is licensed and insured in the Alpharetta area, and promises to work with integrity. Inspections usually include checking ridges, drip edges, flashing around vents, dormers and chimneys, valleys and vents. We also check gutters and downspouts.
We let you know of the condition of your roof, and can assess whether or not it needs replacement soon. The range of a roof’s life is normally between 15 and 25 years. That depends on climate, pitch, materials used and damage. Shakes tend to need more repairs after the 10 year mark, while asphalt composition shingles are closer to 15 or 20 years.
Alpharetta Roofer
Normal wear and tear can eventually result in some of the above warning signs because the roof can get more brittle after sun exposure, shingles naturally lose granules over time and when it needs to be replaced, you may notice repairs need to be made more frequently. This can start to add up, and in those instances it’s usually best to replace the roof.
