When to replace Roof of your house:
The most common question we encounter in our daily lives is when one should replace their roofs? The answer is simple. Any roof with 10+ years of age is subjected to damages. Contact us immediately to solve these issues whenever you notice leakages, missing or damaged shingles, or falling asphalt granules. We will recommend to you whether there is a need to replace or restore the existing roof.
There are three basic signs of need of roof replacement:
- Missing or cracked shingles: If the granular covering or the tar seal of the shingles is damaged or being lost due to storms or other weather conditions; there is immediate need of replacement of the roof.
- Flashing damage: The flashing products are made up of aluminium, copper or are galvanized. If the flashing become brittle, there is need of roof replacement.
