Common Signs Your Roof Needs Repair
Roofs on the Eastern Shore face unique challenges, including high winds, salt spray, and frequent s
Recognizing early signs of damage can save you significant repair costs down the line. Here are common signs that your roof may need attention:
- Leaks: Water spots on your ceiling or walls, or actively dripping water, are clear signs of a leak. Pay close attention to areas around chimneys, vents, and skylights, as these are common leak points.
- Visible Damage: Missing, cracked, or curled shingles are a sign of roof damage. After a storm, check for shingles that may have blown off.
- Granule Loss: If you notice a lot of shingle granules (the small, colored pieces) in your gutters or on the ground, it means your shingles are deteriorating.
- Sagging Roof Deck: A sagging roof deck, often noticeable from inside the attic or outside the house, could indicate structural damage.
- Damage to Flashing: Flashing is the metal that seals joints in your roof. If it’s damaged, bent, or missing, you may have a leak. Look around chimneys, vents, and valleys (where two roof slopes meet).
- Mold or Mildew Growth: In our humid Eastern Shore climate, mold and mildew can grow on roofs, especially in shaded areas. This growth can indicate moisture buildup and potential leaks.
- Algae Streaks: Dark streaks on your roof, often caused by algae, may not be directly causing leaks, but they can trap moisture and lead to damage over time.
- Debris Buildup: In our area, fallen branches and other debris can collect on your roof, especially after storms. This debris can trap moisture and damage shingles.
- Age of the Roof: If your roof is approaching or beyond its expected lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles), it’s time for a closer look. Older roofs are more susceptible to damage.
- Storm Damage: After a significant storm, especially one with high winds or hail, it’s crucial to inspect your roof for damage, even if you don’t see any immediate leaks.
Types of Roof Repairs We Handle Most Often
Asphalt Shingles
A popular and cost-effective choice for many Eastern Shore homes due to their durability and availability. We handle all types of shingle repairs, from minor damage to complete sections, especially wind damage common in our area.
Metal Roofing
Increasingly popular on the Eastern Shore for its longevity and resistance to wind and salt spray. We specialize in repairing metal roofs damaged by storms or aging, including Standing Seam and Corrugated Metal Roofs.
Rubber Roofing (EPDM)
Often used on flat or low-slope roofs, which are common on some Eastern Shore architectural styles. We provide expert repair for leaks, punctures, and seam issues.
Cedar Shakes or Shingles
Found on many older and historic homes in the region, cedar requires specific repair techniques to maintain its beauty and function. We are experienced in preserving and repairing cedar roofs. We are also experienced in mitigating and repairing salt spray damage. We handle a high volume of roof repairs following storms, addressing issues such as hail damage, fallen tree limbs, and wind-blown debris.
