How To Tell If Your Roof Needs Repair

Few things are worse and more unpleasant than waking up in the middle of winter with a damaged roof above your head.

Because of problems that you ignored instead of dealing with them promptly, the damage in such a scenario can be significant and hard to resolve at temperatures that reach the freezing level. Every house owner must be preoccupied by the condition of the roof before the arrival of the winter, a season that can cause and aggravate many problems.

Damaged roof shingles are one of the most common problems with a roof, and that is why the cover must be inspected by experts involved in roofing Canton MI properties periodically. A simple visual inspection can often help determine whether you roof shingles are damaged. But sometimes the signs are not visible. What can yo do in this case?

Here are some signs that usually indicate problems with roof shingles.

  1. Stains – Discoloration and stains in the attic, on the interior ceilings and walls can be caused by water or mold and may indicate that the hydro insulation is defective or inadequate.
  2. Moisture – If the ceiling of your attic is damp after a long rainy period, it may be a sign that the roof is leaking. Damaged shingles and their support layer may be the problem that allows the water to infiltrate.
  3. Water leaks – If there is leakage inside the attic, after a thick layer of ice is formed on the roof, it means you have a problem. The shingles or their support layer may be inadequate, allowing the melted ice water to penetrate the roof system.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
