Shingle roofs are one of the most common types of residential roofs. Asphalt roofs are durable and long-lasting, as well as affordable. They create a uniform look for your home but don’t draw attention to themselves — which is perfect for most homes.
Most importantly, perhaps, is the fact that shingle roofing can withstand severe weather such as wind and rain. And in the Fort Myers and Naples, FL, area, this kind of durability is one of the most important reasons to choose asphalt if you need a new roof. At Affordable Roofing and Gutters of Florida Inc, we specialize in asphalt shingle roofs and shingle roof repair in the Fort Myers, FL, area.
Is It Time for a New Roof Installation or Replacement?
Because your roof is so high and out of the way, you probably don’t pay a lot of attention to it until something goes wrong. But when your roof leaks into your house or you find shingles in your yard, the time is past to have a brand-new roof installation done.
Get familiar with these warning signs that your shingle roof is on its last nail so you can repair or replace it before the damage gets worse:
- Asphalt granules falling off the roof— over time, rain, hail, wind, and other elements will begin to break down your roof. When you see granules in your yard or rain gutters, your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, and it’s time for a roof replacement.
- Shingles curling up at the edges— you may need a ladder or binoculars to get a close look. Curling shingles are a result of the asphalt drying and shrinking over time. You cannot repair curled shingles. You would either need to replace the affected shingles or begin a roof replacement.
- Bare patches on the roof— as granules fall off, your roof will develop bald spots. Granules protect the asphalt in the shingle from being damaged by UV rays, so when there are bare spots, the shingles will begin to wear faster, shortening the lifespan.
- Moss growth on shingles— a little bit of moss on a roof is standard, but if you let the moss continue to grow without checking it, it will start to damage your shingles. When moss isn’t taken care of timely, it will shorten the lifespan of your roof, affecting your roof’s ability to drain, leading to leaks.
- The roof is old— your roof should last you around 25 years. Once you reach the 20-year mark, you should consider a roof replacement before any leaking or other damages start to form.
- The roof is not flat— if your roof is saggy or droopy, it is essential to call a professional as soon as possible for a roof replacement. A sagging roof is weakened from moisture and could cause severe damage to your home.
If you notice any of these symptoms or if your roof has recently weathered a severe storm, contact Affordable Roofing for an inspection to determine whether you need a roof installation for a new roof.
