As a home ages, so does its roof. While many types of shingles are designed to last 20-30 years, deterioration can begin much earlier than that, depending on climate, weather and what material the shingles are made from. Severe heat and cold can break down the composition of shingles, causing them to become brittle and dry. When shingles lose flexibility, they may no longer be watertight. Once a shingle loses its ability to keep out the elements, it may be time for Residential Roof Repair in Miami.
It’s a good idea to have a roof inspected after any type of severe weather. Wind, hail, torrential rain and snow can all damage a roof under the right conditions. A roofing specialist, such as Residential Roof Repair in Miami, who is fully licensed and insured, will happily do a free inspection. They have over 40 years of experience serving both residential and commercial customers with all of their roofing requirements. Depending on budget and need, these skilled professionals can handle any size job, from installing a few shingles, to doing a complete roof replacement. Most jobs can be completed in 24-48 hours, weather permitting.
Weather isn’t the only problem that a roof faces. Tiny cracks and chips caused by insects and wildlife can create openings big enough for them to get inside. Tree branches that rub against the roof can also damage shingles, causing them to wear down prematurely. A licensed roofing inspector can identify any issues that may be affecting the condition of your roof, and provide a free estimate to correct what’s wrong. If the roof is covered by insurance, he can provide assistance with filing and processing the claim.
Besides offering protection from the outside elements, a roof can be a source of aesthetic appeal in any landscape.
