A damaged roof can’t sufficiently protect your home against the elements. Roofs often become damaged due to high winds, hail, ice, tree limbs and wear from age. If your roof isn’t fully protecting your home, call a professional for Roof Repair in Ft. Smith AK. Below you’ll find the answers to frequently asked questions about repairing your roof.
Q.) How often should I have my roof checked for damage and wear?
A.) To ensure that your roof is fully protecting your home, you should have it inspected at least once every year. When you regularly have your roof inspected, you can make any repairs before the damage gets worse. During the inspection of your roof, a professional will check for missing, cracked or worn shingles. The inspector will also look for algae growth, which can cause deterioration of the materials on your roof.
Q.) How long do asphalt shingles typically last on a roof before they need to be replaced?
A.) Asphalt shingles normally last around 20 years, unless they have considerable damage or massive granule loss. Excessive weather conditions such as frequent hail, ice and wind can speed up granule loss and shingle damage. If only a few shingles have damage, a roofing company can repair and replace the worn shingles instead of installing an entire new roof.
Q.) Will a small roof leak cause any damage to my home and should I get it repaired right away?
A.) Even if the leak is small, it can cause major damage to your roof and your home. If the leak isn’t immediately repaired, the moisture can rot the roof deck and cause mold to grow. The insulation in your attic can become damaged and the water can leak down and cause water spots on your ceilings. As soon as you notice a leak in your roof, contact a qualified roof repair company in Ft. Smith AK as soon as possible.
