Our Roof Repair Specialists are Standing By
Replacing a roof is expensive, but when your roof’s lifespan is up, there isn’t much you do about it. Here are seven common reasons you might need East Bay roof repair services. If you perform regular maintenance and watch for damage to your roof, you can help it last longer and do the job it needs to do to protect your home.
Aging Shingles
Shingles are the first layer of defense on your roof. As the shingles get older, they begin to deteriorate. Instead of replacing a few shingles, it might be wiser to invest in a new roof with a new warranty.
Water/Cold Temperatures
The Bay Area may not see much snow and ice, but a cold rain and hail can cause roof damage that should be repaired sooner rather than later. Get a roofing contractor in the Bay Area to inspect your home in the spring to see if you have damage that needs repairs.
Extreme Heat
Cold rain isn’t good for a roof, but the extreme temperatures in the summer aren’t much better. The sun’s UV rays are also damaging to some shingles. To protect your home, make sure your attic is properly ventilated and insulated.
Lack of Roof Maintenance
Roof repairs often happen from a lack of maintenance. When you forget about taking care of the roof, season after season, problems build up. Your gutters get dirty and clogged. Algae or moss builds up. Trees brush up against the roof. Watch for small problems before they make huge issues.
Wind and Storms
The roof’s biggest enemy is Mother Nature. While the roof is designed to protect against her worst, it may not hold up all the time to the strong winds and storms that come off the Pacific Ocean. Just as you inspect your roof after hail, inspect it after a bad storm.
Poor Installation
When a roof isn’t installed right, it won’t protect your home. You’ll need repairs to keep up with the issues. You might want to ask a Bay Area roof repair specialist how to proceed to keep from pouring money into a bad roof.
Walking on the Roof
When you’re on the roof hanging up lights or cutting tree branches, you can do a lot of damage if you aren’t careful. Wear soft soled shoes when you’re walking on the roof and be careful of how you step.
