Roofing Replacement

Bald spots, dark streaks of exposed asphalt and thinning edges tell the story of a covering that has aged out, and the pattern across the roof matters more than any single bare spot. When many shingles lift, split or crumble, the roof is failing as a whole and not in one place, and the problem is usually worst on the slopes that face the afternoon sun. Leaks that keep returning after each fix are a sign that the roof system has reached its limit, and the underlayment beneath a tired covering is often worn as well. Hail damage spread across most of the roof is a different matter from a few scattered bruises, and the decision should be based on a careful inspection, not a glance from the street.
