Get Your Roof Inspected and Protected for Spring

The weather is finally warming up, so it’s time to consider having your roof inspected to ensure it is still in good condition…especially if your roof is a couple decades old. As we mentioned in a recent Facebook post, the freezing and thawing of water on your roof can take its toll, expanding tiny cracks in your asphalt shingles. Over the span of a couple of decades, this can cause issues with water getting into your home. Patriot Exteriors can provide you with a complimentary inspection to identify any potential issues with your roof and provide repair services to ensure these issues don’t evolve into major problems down the road.

Signs Your Shingles Need Attention from Roof Repair Experts

Some potential issues with your roof are generally visible to the naked eye and easy to spot. The obvious issues have to do with the aesthetic look of your shingles. If you notice there are shingles that are cracked, curling, or missing altogether, then these areas are vulnerable to the elements and will allow water to get in. You may notice significant granule loss on your shingles, which is a sign that they are aging. Algae, moss, or other water damage will show up as discoloration which can be an eyesore and eventually affect the overall structure of your roof. In the event that you notice that lines on your roof are sagging or uneven, you may have structural issues, which would require attention as soon as possible.

In addition to the shingles, you may notice other problems on the roof like:

  • Flashing that is cracked, rusted, or missing
  • Loose seals around chimneys, vents, and skylights
  • Deteriorated caulking or sealant
  • Weak points in valleys where water collects
  • Clogged, sagging, or overflowing gutters

These are also issues that can affect the condition of not only your roof, but also the overall structure of your home, if left unchecked. Contact Patriot Exteriors today to schedule your complimentary roof inspection and ensure that your most significant investment is fully protected.
