Shingle Roof Repair
A roof that is more the 20 years old will likely have shingles that are badly worn or damaged and might be letting water leak through which will have a bad effect on the structure of your roof. It may be time to give us a call if you notice any of the following:
- Granule Loss – Due to weather and time, your shingles can lose granules (which are made up of materials like crushed stone). If you see any of these on your driveway, sidewalks or in your gutters, it could be a sign wear.
- Broken Shingles – Shingle can break pretty easily due to extreme weather conditions. If this is the case, you’ll want to replace them soon to prevent leaks
- Splitting – This happens when your shingles suddenly expand and contract due to changes in temperature.
- Curling – When the edges of your shingles curl inward or outward, this is caused by extreme heat or a shortage in moisture
- Shrinkage – As a result of weather or normal aging, shrinking can occur.
- Lifted Shingles – When a shingle shrinks or curls, the edge of the shingle can lift allowing water to seep in.
- Valley Weathering – A valley is where the slopes on a roof meet. These areas tend to degrade more quickly than other areas since rain flows over them on its way to the gutters.
If your roofing is showing any of the above, even if it’s just light cosmetic damage, you could be losing a great deal in curb appeal. Whether it’s a matter of replacing a few shingles or the whole kit and kaboodle, we will find a fix that fits your budget.
Metal Roof Repair
Even though the materials used for today’s metal roofs are strong and difficult to damage, this doesn’t mean that that they are indestructible. If you notice even the slightest bit of a defect, you should call us right away before the damage gets worse. It’s a cinch to repair any cracks and scratches as well as any aesthetic wear and tear like paint chipping and rust leaks. You can rest assured that we have the solution, regardless of how badly your metal roofing has been damaged.
Flat Roof Repair
For the most part, a flat roof is pretty easy to maintain. However, if they do get damaged you’ll need to get it fixed as soon as you can since fixing a leaky flat roof can be complicated. Finding the source of a flat roof leak is easier than on a sloped or shingled roof; however, the repairs may not be so easy. One reason is that the area where you noticed the leak oftentimes may not be the same area where the leak originated as the water can travel across the roofing until it finds a seam in the sheathing deck, skylight, plumbing or HVAC. At that point, it can penetrate and seep inside your home. You can bet that we have the best qualified flat roofer Colorado Springs CO can provide.
Flashing Repair
Roof flashing, such as zinc alloy or galvanized steel, is used by professional roofers in order to guide water away from walls, chimneys and dormers. In some cases, though, a contractor may miss a sealant which can cause flashing to curl and let water in. Others may use poor quality materials (that could easily break) just to cut costs. These poor roofing jobs could result in additional roofing repairs, so in situations like these you should only trust experts.
Gutter Repair & Maintenance
You gutters can play an important role when trying to keep your home dry. When they are installed correctly, gutters flow water away from your siding panels and structural concrete to help avoid leaks and basement flooding. They also help to fight:
- Mold, mildew, and rot
- Siding degradation and staining
- Soil Erosion
- Foundation Cracks
Since gutters play such an important role in providing the best protection from serious water-related problems, it’s important to keep them maintained. No mater how small or insignificant it may seem, if you notice a problem, you should call a professional as soon as possible.
Hail Damage Repair
Try to imagine Tiger Woods hitting your roof with thousands of golf balls and you’ll have a pretty good idea of how badly a severe hailstorm can cause damage to your roof. We here at Roof Troop pride ourselves in providing the best hail damage repair Colorado Springs has at your disposal. After a severe storm, your initial roofing repair concern will likely be how much damage has it sustained and has the storm caused any leakage that could damage your home’s interior. In the event that your home does survive a hail storm without any leaking, there may still be some unseen hail damage. That’s why it’s important to call a roofing specialist to inspect your entire roof for any signs of damage. Given the severity of hail damage Colorado Springs can be particularly notorious, so please don’t hesitate to call us.
Leaky Roof Repair
Leaks are usually a dead give-way for deterioration and often are an indicator of severe roof damage. However, it can be a little tricky for homeowners to locate the source of leaks since water can travel through interior pipes and other roofing materials. You should always contact an expert, whether it’s a small leak or a large leak. When you see a tiny dark puddle on your ceiling, it could mean that there is a pool of standing water just above your attic with your roof just waiting for the worst time to cave in.
Repair From Inadequate Ventilation
Too much heat from poorly ventilated and over heated roofs can lead to blistering shingles. In addition, if air is not able to flow properly, damp and humid conditions may enable the growth of mold and mildew. This can cause the wooden parts of your roof (like rafters and fascia, that hold your roof structure together) to rot… not to mention that poor ventilation can also lead to pest infestation.
Tile Roof Repair
Many homes in the area have Tile roofs. These roofs can take a lot of punishment (baking in 100+ degree temperatures in June and then hit by a barrage of monsoon-like downpours and wind gusts in July). They are certainly built to be extremely durable, but unfortunately, they are not indestructible. When the time comes, every homeowner will have the face the inevitable broken tile. In all likelihood, a broken tile will need to be replaced. Think of your tile roof as a set of armor… just one gap can be enough to allow moisture to come in and cause damage to the decking below.
Wooden Shake Roof Repair
Repairing a wooden shake roof is somewhat like repairing a shingle, but it can be a little more complicated. Since a shake isn’t as flexible as a shingle, impacts from falling branches or hail can be more damaging. When a shake is split and/or detaches, it’s likely that more splitting can happen resulting in leaks. While many cedar shake repairs are relatively simple, they have to be done the right way in order to be effective in avoiding a compromised roof. Below are a few common mistakes.
- Nailing Curled or Cupped Shakes – Though it is natural for curling and cupping to occur in any cedar shake’s lifespan, many homeowners will see this as an eye-sore and try to nail down the edges in order to fix them flat. This would be a huge mistake and can result in a premature split or crack ultimately causing a leak.
- Reattaching Damaged Shakes – Accidents and storms can cause broken or damaged shakes. Even though the shake may look somewhat whole, it’s never a good idea to nail them back to your roof. Damaged shakes won’t be enough to protect your roof from water, snow, ice or other types of weather. We would not advise you to reuse them.
- Using Caulk to Patch a Roof – Using caulk to patch up a leak is never a good idea as it doesn’t stick very well to unfinished cedar roofs.
- Coating Shakes with Sealants – Some homeowners may try to extend the life of their cedar shake roof by using sealants. There are some treatments that can help these roofs to maintain its rich color, it should never be completely sealed. Cedar shake roofs need to breathe and these sealants can dramatically reduce the lifespan of your roof. Any Colorado Springs Co roofing company worth its weight in salt should never advise this.
