Professional roofers are capable of helping you do any roof work you could possibly imagine whether it is simple repairs or a complete replacement. If you suspect that there might be a problem with your current roof, the best way to safely inspect it is to move to a distant location and look at your roof with the help of binoculars. This should allow you to carefully look over your roof for the signs of a problem without risking your health by climbing a ladder multiple times.
Missing Shingles
This is most likely to happen after severe weather such as a thunderstorm with high winds and heavy rain. Shingles that have loosened or grown near the end of their lifespan may fall out of place during such weather, leaving your roof exposed and at risk of leaking. Fortunately, roofers in Johnston make it possible for you to quickly get ready to replace your missing shingles and repair any other roof damage.
Granules in Gutter
Another cause for concern might be piles of rough black granules collecting in your gutter, which is a sure sign that there are shingles on your roof nearing the end of their lifespans. These granules are pieces of asphalt that cracked and detached from a worn shingle and the damaged material must be replaced by Johnston roofers as soon as possible. If some of your shingles are this way, it is likely that your entire roof is ready for replacement.
Curling
The shingles on a roof may also begin to curl if they reach the end of their lifespans, requiring trained roofers to treat. Just as you would if you noticed granules missing, the most likely course of action after noticing the problem is a replacement. Be sure to contact your homeowner’s insurance provider as soon as you suspect that you need work done on the property as your damage may be covered by the policy and not need to come directly out of your pocket to be fixed.
