Signs Your Roof Needs Repairs

A leaky roof is more than a nuisance – leaks mean that water is invading your home and potentially damaging various structural elements that can be costly to fix if the leaky roof doesn’t get repaired. Water may be causing rotting, mold, and permanent damage to your home long before you notice spots on the wall and ceiling.

How do you know if your roof is on course to become a leaking hazard? If you discover any of the following on your roof or inside your home, it is time to quickly pick up the phone and get a trained roof repair specialist from Alpine Roof Care out to have a look.

• Missing or torn shingles or shakes can cause nearby shingles or shakes to blown off more easily and expose your home to water damage.
• Old shingles that are curling or splitting are more likely to be blown off and are an indication that they’ve lost their waterproofing.
• Chimney, skylight, or vent pipes whose flashing is rusted or missing can cause interior leaking – especially when found in valleys on a rooftop.
• Any indoor discoloration, cracked paint, peeling wallpaper areas where outside light shines through, or sagging are all likely signs of a damaged, leaky roof and water issues.

Cost Of Roofing Repairs

Many factors go into determining the cost of roofing repairs. Here are some of the things to remember when getting an estimate from a roofing company:

• Type Of Roof – The more complex your rooflines, the more time it takes to complete repairs. Roofs with more angles and pitches will take more time than a single level ranch.
• Cost Of Permits – Depending on the scope of the project, the local government may require specific permits that add to the total cost of the repairs.
• Extent Of Damage – If we are dealing with small leaks or a missing shingle, then you can expect a lower estimate. Major leaks or extensive shingle replacement will add to the cost due to increased time and materials.
• Roof Extras – Complex elements such as chimneys and skylights typically take more time to reinforce and repair.
