At US ROOFING Contractors located in Augusta-Georgia, Grovetown, North Augusta and Martinez, we give you 3 important you need to know to determine if your home needs a roof replacement or if a roof repair work will resolve the problem:

1. Roof age:

You have to determine how old is your existing asphalt shingle roof, a lot of experts concur that a typical roofing system will last between 20 and 25 years. It also depends on whether the old roofing system was removed and you only have one layer of shingles, and if it is properly ventilated. If the roof was installed over another layer and it is older than 20 years, chances are you need a new roof.

2. Missing shingles and daylight through the roof boards:

These are another common sign your roof could be failing. Check to see if all the shingle tabs are intact.

Examine your attic to see if there is any daylight coming through the roof boards. Also check for wetness in the insulation.

3. Shingles curling and buckling:

The shingles that are curled or buckling are another sign that you may require a new roof. Look at the slopes of your home that get direct sunshine and if you notice the shingles are curling and losing granules, it could mean the shingles are past their life expectancy. There might also be a possibility that the roof is defective and you need to contact an Atlanta Construction Company specialized in roof repair.
