Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Services

  • How will I know it’s time to replace my home’s roof?

    As one of Ohio's top roofing companies, we've seen countless cases of residential roofs that need replacement. Here are some common signs that your roof might have to be replaced soon:


    • Missing shingles: Shingles can become loose as the roof grows older and eventually the wind can blow them away. Once your roof has a significant number of missing shingles, rainwater will very likely find its way to the attic and other parts of the home.
    • Curling and/or bucking shingles: This happens when moisture causes nails to become loose, which eventually also loosens the shingles. The roof is then exposed to the elements, which could cause leaks and moisture damage.
    • Mold in your attic: If an inspection reveals that there is mold in areas like the plywood on the roof’s underside and rafter beams, you might have to seriously start thinking of replacing the whole roof.
    • Granules in the gutter: According to Architectural Digest, asphalt shingle roofs are the most common type of roof, typically having a 20 to 30-year life span. Most asphalt roofing shingles are made of minute granules. When these start to come loose, it can negatively affect the ability of the roof to protect your home. If you regularly start finding granule fragments in the gutters, it’s a sign that they're nearing the end of their lifespan, so it's time to consult a roof replacement expert.
    • Clear signs of roof rot: Once root rot develops, you could soon be facing huge damage to the rest of your house. If you suspect roof rot, call your local roofer for an inspection ASAP.
