How do you know if you need to replace, repair on need a new roof on your home, cabin, chalet or rental property? What about the fascia boards and gutters?

​

• Asphalt shingle edges are curled or shingle tabs are cupped

• Bald spots where granules are missing on shingles

• Cracked shingles

• Your shingle roof is at least 20 years old; while many shingles today are produced for durability, many factors can accelerate the aging of shingles. For example, if your roof is not properly ventilated or was installed without proper under lament, it can negatively impact your shingles.

• Metal or tin roofing that is showing signs of rust or other deterioration

• Recent high winds, hail or other damaging weather conditions may have an impact on your roof regardless of type of roofing

• Water leaks or stains in the ceiling of your home

• The roof just looks old and worn.

• Dark streaks. Airborne algae cause dark streaks on roof decks. While this may not necessarily harm the roof shingles or other types of roofing, it may not look good and may be a sign of a problem with your roof.

• Moss can grow on roof surfaces that don’t get much sunlight, especially in cool, moist climates. Moss growth can be more than a cosmetic issue. Moss holds moisture against the roof surface and overtime in freezing climates can cause damage to the granules on the top of the shingles.

• Gutters are sagging, cracked, dented, rusting or may not be the right size gutters for your home

• Leaks around chimneys due to worn or improperly installed flashing

• Fascia boards are rotting or are not properly supporting the gutters
