How Do You Tell if Your Shingles Need Repair

Maintaining your roof is crucial to ensuring the overall health of your home. Here are seven indicators that suggest you might need roof repairs:

• Leaking Roof: Water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after rainfall, indicate potential roof leaks. Ignoring this can lead to structural damage and mold growth.
• Damaged Shingles: Shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing can compromise your roof's protective capabilities. Additionally, finding shingle granules in your gutters is a sign of wear and tear.
• Sagging Roof Deck: A sagging or drooping roof deck suggests serious structural issues, often due to prolonged water damage or weakened support beams.
• Algae or Moss Growth: Moss and algae can retain moisture against your roof, causing rot and deterioration. Extensive growth should be removed, and the underlying cause addressed.
• Flashing Damage: Flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights prevents water intrusion. Damaged or missing flashing can lead to leaks and should be repaired promptly.
• Rising Energy Bills: A well-maintained roof aids in home insulation. A sudden increase in energy bills might indicate your roof is not properly insulated, causing heat or cold to escape.
• Sunlight in the Attic: If daylight is visible through the roof boards in your attic, it means there are gaps or holes that need repairing. This can also allow rain, cold air, and pests to enter.

Regular roof inspections and timely repairs can extend its lifespan and prevent costly home damage. If you notice any of these signs, consult a professional roofing contractor for an assessment and repairs.

Tips on Traditional Asphalt Shingled Roof Color Combinations

Unsure of how to choose a color for your new roof? 

Here are some tips to help you coordinate your roofing colors with the exterior colors of your house to make a gorgeous combination. 

If you have a gray or blue house, traditional roof shingle colors such as dark gray will look best and keep with the classic theme of your home. The effect of this color combination will blend with your house well and make the whole structure seem bigger. Using other roof shingle color combinations could stand out and make the house look too busy. 

Do you have a cream, tan or light brown house? For you, brown roof options may be the best. Using lighter color shingles will reflect solar radiation and reduce cooling costs. An added perk of brown shingles is that many of the shingles have a mixture of browns that will really make your house look current. A brown roof will also blend with a cream or tan exterior house color and make your house look bigger.
