What are Common Visual Symptoms That May Indicate That It’s Time to Invest in a New Roof?

Algae Growth
Algae growth causes a dark discoloration on roofs. The algae is usually brown to black in color which results in a streaked, dirty looking rooftop.

Damaged Flashing
can be caused by improper installation of a new roof or Drying and cracking of an older roof. This can also can happen as a result of a settling foundation which can be detrimental to your roof.

Shingle Curling
This condition can be caused by improper nailing down of shingles or improper fasteners used in a previous installation. This may also occur due to poor ventilation or under-saturation of asphalt.

Blistering
This can be caused due to excessive moisture in specific areas in your roof. Damage due to moisture can spread rapidly if left un-handled.

Shingle Buckling
caused by improperly installed felt or wrinkled underlay material. Buckling can be prevented in the future installation with the use of spacers and roof deck boards. Buckling can also lead to major roof deterioration.
