Common Reasons for Roof Repair
Leaks happen. As one of the most common problems one might see with their roof, it’s likely that you’ll encounter a leak of some kind in your home at one point or another. This might happen when the weather is bad enough to damage your roof, or when enough time has passed and your roof has been through enough wear and tear to cause a leak. When that happens, you need to be proactive. If leaks are left to sit, they can destroy entire sections of your ceiling, walls, and flooring. Leaks can give way to mold growth, and other hazardous circumstances that can be dangerous for you. Thankfully, we at Advanced Roofing & Construction can handle leaks big or small. With our team, we can figure out exactly what’s causing your leak and stop it. If you call us right when leaks show up, we can figure out what is causing them and get them patched up before they ruin your ceiling. Don’t let a small leak become a huge hassle.
If you live in a neighborhood with lots of tall trees, then you probably wince whenever you hear that a big storm is coming. Big storms bring high winds, and high winds can very easily knock a tree branch or an entire tree down onto your roof. Once the weather clears up you may go outside and see that parts of your roof are broken, leading to a variety of problems. Though there’s not much to do to protect your home from falling tree debris, aside from trimming down your own trees, we at Advanced Roofing can help you fix your roof if a tree manages to damage it.
Whether it was a large branch, or a small tree limb that fell onto your roof, we can check to see how much damage your roof has taken and properly assess the steps that it would take to fix it. If a large branch or an entire tree fell, contact a tree removal service prior to getting your roof inspected so they can remove the tree debris first! There’s not much to do to prevent your trees from damaging your roof, but you can count on Advanced Roofing to help you fix it.
Hail can be an annoying and dangerous weather condition that comes around when you least expect it. Hail can vary in size from tiny pieces of ice to large scale, golf-ball sized pellets. As they scale up in size, the damage they cause can become devastating. Your roof is built to handle a lot of punishment, but large hail can damage even the strongest shingles.
After a rough hail storm, you may find that you have hail hits or bruising on your roof. Hail can also cause fracturing and cracking of the shingle matting. Though this may not seem like a big deal, having any sort of hail damage on your roof can open the door to a number of troublesome issues. You may wind up with leaks or other issues that can compromise your home and your comfort. At Advanced Roofing & Construction, we will assess the storm damage your roof has sustained from hail and guide you through the process of getting it fixed. This may warrant a storm damage insurance claim and can result in the need for a full roof replacement, depending on the extent of the storm damage. This process may seem difficult, but there is no need to worry, as we are insurance claim specialists. We work with customers every day to ensure they are supported throughout the insurance process and treated fairly by their insurance company.
Your shingles make up one of the most important layers of your roof. As the first line of defense against the elements and anything that is thrown at your roof, these materials need to be tough. However, even the toughest of shingles can fall victim to time. Through wear and tear your shingles will likely grow weak over time as they are repeatedly blasted by nature. When this happens, shingles can easily crease, flip, blow away, or just fall off. Even if one shingle is missing from your roof, the entire structure could be compromised. This could lead to leaks in your home and other more serious issues in the future. At Advanced, we are able to find each spot on your roof where a shingle used to be and we can install replacement shingles wherever they’re needed. If enough of your shingles are damaged or you’re simply looking for an upgrade, we can provide you with a full roof replacement.
Your roof decking is the layer of your roof that sits beneath your shingles. It’s an important piece of your roof that helps protect it from inclement weather. Its primary job is to act as a foundation for your shingles to be fastened to. This means that when it gets damaged, it can cause some serious problems. Unfortunately, your roof decking can’t necessarily be repaired once it gets compromised. When it sustains major damage, whether from water or trees/limbs falling, it will need to be entirely replaced. This is necessary to ensure that your roof can properly protect you and stay structurally sound. Thankfully, our roofing experts at
Advanced Roofing & Construction are more than capable when it comes to roof replacements. We remove your old roof all the way down to the decking so it can be inspected for damage and if problem areas are found, those deck boards are replaced. Our team will inform you about any decking damage found during your roof replacement and ensure you understand the process.
High winds are something you’ll have to deal with in various parts of the country. Though they may be common, it doesn’t make them any less damaging to your roof. High winds can ultimately lead to your shingles blowing off and going missing or getting damaged from flipping up and creating creases in the shingle, which can compromise your roof in more ways than one. Even the most protective shingles can feel the impact of damaging winds if they’ve been through enough wear and tear. Though there’s no set way to prepare your roof for high winds (other than having already chosen a shingle with a higher wind rating), fixing up your roof after the fact doesn’t have to be hard. Our roofing professionals at Advanced Roofing are very familiar with damaging winds and we know exactly what to look for if your roof has recently been struck by them. We can find the damage on your roof and provide you with a free roof estimate outlining what is needed to have your roof back in working order. Don’t wait too long after strong winds pass through your town, as you likely won’t be the only one with wind damage on your roof. The sooner you call us, the sooner we can get your appointment scheduled and address the issue.
When your shingles have been around for long enough, they’re going to sustain damage of some kind. In many cases, after enough time has passed, your shingles may begin to lift around the edges. Though this can happen due to a variety of issues, leaving them in this state can compromise the structure of your roof. A lifted shingle can allow inclement weather to pierce into the next layer of your roof which could damage it over time. If you’ve recently experienced high winds and are now seeing issues sprout up in your home such as leaks, then chances are, some of your shingles may have lifted and water has found its way in. Thankfully, we can help. If you call us and set up an initial appointment for a free roof estimate, we can come out to your home and figure out exactly what’s going on with your roof. If your shingles have lifted, we will determine if it
can be fixed by a simple repair or if it is a more widespread issue. If the roof is severely damaged, then it may require a full roof replacement to solve your roof issue and truly protect your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
This will vary depending on the homeowner’s situation. If the home has suffered significant storm damage, we usually recommend a roof replacement. Patching a roof or only performing a partial roof replacement can act as a bandaid rather than a cure to the problem in some situations. During the roof replacement process, the old roof is removed all the way down to the roof’s decking which allows for the roof’s underlying structure to be inspected. If pieces of the wood decking are rotting or damaged, they will be replaced before the new roof installation begins. This is another reason why roof replacements may be the best option for some homeowners. Knowing the age of the roof can also help you and your roofing contractor determine whether a repair will solve the issue or whether a brand new roof is necessary.
Every roof repair is different. A roof repair could last months or even years depending on its location on your roof, the stability and quality of the materials used as well as the materials surrounding the repaired area, the amount of storms that occur after the repair is performed, whether or not the roof suffers additional damage near your previous repaired area, etc. There are many possibilities as to what could cause a repair to last a while or need repairing again in the future. The important part is that a problem area is addressed immediately if it is showing signs of leaking or water damage, even if it has been repaired before.
The longevity of your roof will depend on multiple factors. These include the area where your roof is located, the type of roof material used, how well you maintain your roof and whether or not you have proper attic ventilation. Different parts of the country have different weather conditions. A roof in Huntsville, AL may be exposed to different weather than roofs elsewhere. In Huntsville, we are in a high storm area where hail and wind are the typical culprits of the damage caused to roofs. If weather conditions were not a factor in the lifespan of one’s roof, an architectural roof typically lasts 15-25 years whereas a metal roof can last upwards of 50-70+ years. Roof maintenance is also important to keep in mind as a homeowner. Different vents and pipes penetrate a roof and those need to be resealed every so often. Getting a roof tune-up is one way to make sure that every roof penetration is properly checked and sealed. Sometimes they may need to be replaced to prevent future leaks. Attic ventilation is vital to whether a roof ages gracefully or prematurely. At Advanced, we make sure your attic is properly ventilated to avoid high heat in your attic resulting in blistering of your shingles. Air intake and outtake must be balanced so that air can flow efficiently up through your soffit vents and out through your ridge vents or mechanical vents. We take ventilation into consideration when recommending what your roof needs during a roof replacement. Different roofs require different types of vents and we are here to help you make sure your attic is ventilated properly so your roof lasts longer. Overall, your roof’s longevity will depend on how well each of these factors are taken into account.
