Different roofing materials present varying challenges for repair work. For instance, asphalt shingles, tile, and wood shakes may suffer damage to individual pieces, necessitating replacement by a skilled roofing contractor. Metal roofing, on the other hand, often consists of larger panels, typically requiring replacement only when spot repairs prove ineffective. Repairing flat roofs involves a distinct process due to the use of rolled material and liquid waterproofing compounds.
Â
Regardless of the type of roof you have, regular maintenance is highly beneficial and strongly recommended.
There are several key reasons to perform consistent maintenance:
Â
Has your roof's shingle edges started to lift and curl upwards? This is known as curling and can be caused by strong winds, leading to an uneven and unattractive roof. If not addressed promptly, curling can result in roof leaks and further damage to your roof.
There are several reasons why your roof's shingles may curl, including:
Â
If you notice your roof shingles starting to curl, our professional team will conduct a thorough roof inspection and guide you through any necessary repairs or recommend replacing your roof.
Blistering is a common issue that can affect asphalt shingle roofs, particularly during the hot summer months. These small holes form when moisture gets trapped within the shingle and expands, causing it to penetrate through the surface.
Â
There are several reasons why blistering may occur, including manufacturing defects and poor roof ventilation. If your roof isn't properly ventilated, moisture can become trapped in the attic and cause blistering to occur. That's why it's essential to ensure that your roof has sufficient ventilation when replacing your shingles.
Â
It's worth noting that insurance companies may mistake blistering for hail damage, as the markings can look similar. However, it's important to address any blistering issues as soon as possible to prevent roof leaks and premature failure of the roof system.
Â
Our experienced team can quickly identify and address any blistering issues to keep your roof in top condition. Contact us today to schedule your roof repair appointment.
A leaking roof can be a headache for any homeowner, and often the cause is a small puncture hole in a shingle. However, the most common culprit for roof leaks is faulty flashing. If you notice water stains near your chimney or other roof fixtures, it's likely that your flashing is to blame.
Â
Flashing is a thin metal material installed at the edges of a roofline, around vents, chimneys, and skylights, and at roof transitions to prevent water from seeping underneath the roof's surface and causing interior damage. Unfortunately, flashing can become loose or corroded over time, leading to leaks.
Â
When flashing becomes loose, it's often due to screws pulling away from the framing or extreme wind causing it to bend. This creates gaps between the flashing and roof shingles, allowing moisture to seep in. In addition, metal flashing can corrode over time, creating rust or small pinholes that allow water to penetrate.
Â
At Crestone Roofing, our professional roofing contractors can repair uneven or loose flashing by installing new screws into the framing underneath the metal and roof shingles, securing it in place, and covering each screw head with rubber cement for a watertight seal. We can also repair small holes or corroded spots with roofing cement or silicone sealant. However, if the flashing has extensive corrosion, it will need to be replaced.
We recommend scheduling annual roof inspections to address any minor issues before they become severe and to check the condition of your roof flashing. It's also a good idea to have your roof inspected following extreme hail or windstorms. Don't let a small leak turn into a major headache – contact Crestone Roofing today for all your roof repair needs.
As asphalt shingles age, they may begin to crack, especially in Colorado's dry climate and extreme weather conditions. While many roofs are rated to last 25, 30, or even 50 years, the harsh weather conditions in Colorado can accelerate their useful life. Thermal or deck movement can also cause shingle cracks.
Â
If you notice surface cracks on your older roof, it may not be a significant concern unless they completely tear through the shingles. However, if you see premature shingle roof cracking on a newer roof, it could be due to a manufacturer defect, installation issue, or insufficient ventilation.
Â
Ignoring cracked shingles can compromise their ability to maintain a proper seal, potentially leading to water damage inside your home or business.
Â
At Crestone Roofing, our licensed and professional team has the industry-leading credentials to assess repair needs during a roof inspection properly. Our expert installation crew can make necessary roof repairs to avoid a more costly roof replacement if caught early. Trust us to keep your roof in top condition and protect your property from the elements.
While mold, mildew, and algae are common roof problems in humid areas, Colorado's dry climate makes them less prevalent. However, they can still appear, particularly in areas with high tree cover that reduces sunlight and natural wind.
Â
The primary culprit is a blue-green alga called Gloeocapsa magma, which does not damage the roof but affects its appearance, especially on homes with light-colored asphalt shingles.
Â
If you notice algae, mildew, or mold on your roof, it can be fixed with cleaning solutions offered by manufacturers. If you're considering a new roof installation or replacement, you may want to consider algae-resistant shingles, such as GAF StainGuard Plusâ„¢ shingles, which contain copper and zinc metal ions to help reduce algae growth.
Â
If left untreated, these fungi can cause the roof to trap moisture, which can deteriorate the roof underlayment and rot the roof deck. Visible mold, mildew, and algae can also impact your home's resale value and will likely be listed as an issue to correct on any buyer's objection list.
Â
If you notice any fungus on your roof, contact the experienced roofers at Crestone Roofing to discuss your options in more detail.
During a new roof installation or replacement, asphalt shingles are installed in individual pieces and nailed to the roof deck, overlapping each other. While manufacturers provide guidelines for the number of nails per shingle, high wind areas may require additional nailing to ensure the shingles stay in place.
Â
Despite proper installation, shingles can still detach and blow off the roof due to various reasons. Strong winds can dislodge the edge of a shingle, and if the seal between shingles has loosened over time, the wind can tear off the already loose shingle. Physical impact on the roof, such as a previous repair or work done by another tradesperson, can also cause shingles to separate. In some cases, the seal was never correctly installed during the initial installation or replacement, which could be due to using the incorrect number of nails or installing the shingles at a temperature below manufacturer guidelines.
Â
Loose shingles may not be easily noticeable, but missing shingles should be visible in your yard or nearby. It's important to address missing shingles quickly, even if it's only one, to prevent prolonged exposure to nature's elements and potential water damage inside your home. Contact us for all of your professional missing shingles repair needs!
The top layer of asphalt shingles is made up of granules, which are finely crushed stones or ceramic with added pigment to achieve the desired color. These granules are embedded in a fiberglass mat and serve as the primary protection against natural weather conditions.
Â
In Colorado, extreme weather conditions, such as wind and hail, can cause granule loss, which may be evident by finding granules in your gutters or around the perimeter of your home near downspouts. Roof blistering, often due to insufficient roof ventilation, can also result in granule loss.
If you notice frequent granule loss, it may indicate that your roof is nearing or has exceeded its useful life. However, granule loss may also be related to factors other than weather, such as a defective manufacturing process, extreme heat, or improper or insufficient roof ventilation.
Â
Ignoring granule loss can result in clogged gutters, downspouts, or even roof leaks. When you notice excessive granule loss, contact the roofing professionals at Crestone Roofing for an expert assessment and repair. Our team of experienced professionals can help ensure your roof remains in good condition and protects your home from Colorado's extreme weather.
