Roof Repair FAQ

What are the most common causes to wear out my roof?

Wind, Hail, and UV rays from the sun are the most common causes of wear and tear to your roof. Over time, these elements can cause your roof to deteriorate, resulting in leaks or other damage.

What are the most common signs of a roof leak? 

The most common signs of a roof leak are water stains on your ceiling or walls, missing or damaged shingles, and leaks during rains. Bubbling paint, sagging roof, or noticeable water bubbles are also key signs of a roof leak. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact a roofing professional right away to prevent further damage.

If I see a roof leak, what should I do? 

Immediately contact a roofing contractor to perform an inspection. If there is dripping, it’s usually preferable to make a tiny drainage hole in the ceiling so that the water can drain and not soak your drywall, which will result in a more expensive repair later. In general, a quick response is the most important thing, the longer you wait, the more damage could be done, so schedule your FREE roof inspection ASAP.
