Being a homeowner comes along with many responsibilities that you have to fulfill without complaints. One of those responsibilities is knowing when to call a roofing contractor for the maintenance and repairs of your roof. Doing so will protect your assets and investment for yourself and your family, and also for tax, insurance, and resale value. Roof maintenance and repair is one of many responsibilities in the home. Unfortunately, many homeowners do not see a roof problem until it is too late. If any of the following conditions apply to you, call a roofing professional immediately.
Water Damage on Your Ceiling
One thing that makes it necessary to call a roofing contractor is when you see water dripping from your ceiling or on your ceiling. It prominently means there’s something not right with your roof that needs to be fixed. You can call a professional for an inspection of your roof, and they’ll what they need to do to fix the issue. There could be a problem with flashing, misaligned or clogged gutters, downspouts, or bad shingles.
The Roof Is Becoming Outdated
If you have been living in a house for more than two decades and never got the roofs replaced, it’s high time you start planning about it. The maximum lifespan of a roof is up to 20 years, and if you have already succeeded, you must take its replacement seriously. To do so, call a roofing contractor to inspect the whole area and quote you the estimates accordingly. They can also suggest some valuable options for energy-efficient, eco-friendly roofing that sustains longer.
Cracked or Missing Shingles
If you have cracked shingles or missing shingles, then it’s an indication to invite a contractor from CR Builders for a complete evaluation. If only a partial area of your roof requires repair, then you won’t have to replace the whole roof. Don’t worry. We’ll make sure we save the remaining area of your roof so you don’t have to spend a lot on it.
Ice Dams in the Winter
This often occurs on a flat roof in a climate with cold temperatures. If your attic has poor insulation, it allows the ice dams and snow to warm above your attic and build seep under the shingles. The only way to fix this is by insulating and venting the space between your insulation and the roof sheathing. Venting the heat will eliminate the leakage to build under your shingles. All this will come through when you call a professional contractor, and they identify these problems in your roofing.
A Part of Your Roof Is Sagging
Sagging roofs are clear signs of structural damage that immediately require your attention. Call a roofing contractor from CR Builders to get your roof fully inspected. Our experts will tell you which part of your roof is sagging and what we need to fix that. It’ll either need repair or replacement.
