- Asphalt Shingle Repairs: Homeowners become aware of a need for a roof repair when a problem gains their attention, such as a roof leak, broken, curling, missing shingles or a mold and mildew infestation widely apparent on the shingles. Just a little advice, please do not power wash your asphalt shingled roof to get rid of mold or mildew stains because you will dislodge the ceramic granules that protects against hail, other falling debris, damaging UV radiation and insulates the roof against extreme heat. Power washing asphalt shingles will only hasten your roof’s deterioration.
- Top quality Metal Roof Repairs:
- Leaking in metal roofs are often caused by oxidation from an earlier impact cause by hail or storm debris. The repair patch has to be slightly bigger than the hole to account for expansion and contraction of the metal during temperature changes . Engaging an expert roofer to fix your metal roof will provide the best and most economical solution. Many leaks also, occur at flashings around roof penetrations, seams splitting or panel fasteners that have backed out. With the passing of years fasteners have a tendency to back out of their seated position- probably due to wind uplift vibrating the panels.
