If you have a concerning issue with your roof it can be tempting to try and fix the issue on your own. Your roof is one of the largest and most costly parts of your home to repair and replace. It is understandable a homeowner would want to save money on roof repairs. There are some roof issues that every homeowner should call in the help of a professional for. Here are some signs you may need to call a pro to help you with repair or replacement
Missing Shingles
A missing shingle creates a hole in the protective layer keeping the elements from wreaking havoc on your roof underlayment. If water reaches the underlayment it can create significant damage in your home.
Shingle Granules in the Gutters
It is not uncommon for a single roof to shed some granules. If you see a large accumulation of granules in your gutter however this is cause for concern. This is a sign that your roof is worn out and ending the portion of its usable life. Soon they may start cracking blistering or curling which is a definite sign that it is time for a brand new roof. The best way to tell if your concern is indeed a sign of a worn shingle roof is to call a roofing expert for an inspection and consultation.
Broken Shingles
If you see cracking or broken shingles it is a good idea to call a roofing professional to have a look at the condition of your roof. It may be that the one shingle took on some damage from recent harsh weather or it could be that your roof is old and in need of total replacement. You want to make sure what the next best step is.
Sagging Roof
If there is a portion of your roof that is sagging this could be signaling a structural issue. This should be addressed quickly to determine exactly what is going on. The only way to determine what is causing a sagging roof is with professional help from a roofing contractor. A general contractor can come out and take an initial look, but most often they will refer you to a roofing professional to pinpoint what the issue is.
Bubbles
Bubbling under roofing is a sign of concern. This can mean there is moisture build-up under the roofing. The more bubbles that are in the roofing the more cause for concern. More bubbles mean you need to act as quickly as possible to determine what is causing it and get it repaired. You may need a whole roof replacement to avoid other damage.
