Maintaining a reliable shingle roof is important for the integrity and safety of your home. Shingle roofs are very durable, however their lifespan doesn’t last forever and may start showing signs of wear and tear over time. Recognizing these signs early on can save you from potential damage and leaks. Here are some key signs that it may be time to contact M&B Roofing about a shingle roof replacement.
1. Age of Your Shingles
Professionally installed shingle roofs typically have a lifespan from 20 to 30 years depending on the material used. If your shingles are approaching or surpassing 20-30 years, it may be time to call in our roofing professionals to inspect your roof to figure out the condition your shingles are in. From here, we can make an educated decision on whether it is time for a roof replacement or not.
2. Curling or Buckling Shingles:
Weathering and water absorption can cause shingles to curl at the edge or buckle in the middle. When shingles curl, their ability to protect your home from the elements becomes harder. You’re at risk of serious water damage from leaking if your shingles are curling at the edges. In most cases, our expert roofers can offer you a roof repair, but in worse cases you may be in need of a shingle roof replacement.
3. Cracked or Damaged Shingles:
Regular shingle roof inspections are important to check for cracks or visible damage in your shingles. If you have cracks in your shingles, water can easily penetrate, leading to water leaks. This will end up causing you much more damage in the long run, leading to more money going into repairs. Call M&B Roofing now to repair this damage quickly before it worsens!
4. Algae or Moss Growth:
Moss and algae don’t start as a large threat to your shingle roof, but over time they can cause trapped moisture in your roof. In the future, you may notice your shingle roof decaying and no longer protecting your home. Moss can be hard to find, so call in our roofing experts to inspect and fix this problem right away.
