Common Shingle Roof Repairs
If any of your shingles resemble the following pictures, it is most likely time for a new roof. Regardless of whether you choose to repair or replace your roof, we recommend you act quickly to optimize your chance of salvaging your roof’s underlying sheathing, preventing replacement that can add hundreds to thousands to your roof repair/installation costs.
Rotting/Curling Shingles. If your shingles look anything like the curling shingles pictured above, then you should consider a new roof soon to prevent costly water damage and repairs that often follow these shingle conditions. While this kind of weathering can be common for older roofs with decades of exposure to the sun and the elements, such wear and tear can put your roof (and the home beneath it) at risk. Shingles work together with the slope and topography of the roof (peaks and valleys), the flashing, and gutter system to effectively move water quickly and efficiently off the roof, so that it doesn’t collect and seep through the surface to the sheathing and attic below. When your smooth shingle surface is compromised (e.g., cracked, separated, or missing shingles) water can collect in these areas and eventually weaken the plywood sheathing and/or framing that supports the roof, leaving your roof in danger of collapsing under the weight of snow/ice.
Missing Shingles. Missing shingles can compromise the integrity of the roof surface, causing water collection and subsequent wood rot. Without prompt attention, this water damage can escalate a minor repair into a major roof replacement very quickly. It is also important to replace these quickly, as replacement shingles that are the exact same make and model will appear to be a different color if they do not age with the rest of the roof over comparable time.
Sagging Roof. Unfortunately, sometimes much-needed roof repairs go unattended for years, even decades, and water that has collected in certain areas repeatedly over the years can weaken the sheething to the point where it cannot hold the weight of the shingles installed on it. The weakening of the wood causes it to bend and warp. These dips in your roof need immediate attention, due to their increased tendency to pool water and further rot the wood below.
Compromised Surface Integrity. Cracked shingles, debris in valleys and gutters, animal holes, and other things can comprise the integrity of a roof’s draining system, causing water to collect and materials to rot. Regular roof and gutter maintenance can keep repairs minor and affordable.
