Storm Guard Roofing of West Charlotte

Here are some signs you need a new roof.

1. Aged roof
2. Curling or buckling shingles
3. Missing or broken shingles
4. Sagging roof
5. Granules in gutters
6. Leaks and water damage
7. Moss or algae growth

You should repair your roof if the damage is minor or limited to one section and the roof is relatively new. However, if the damage is extensive and the roof is older, it’s better to replace it to avoid incurring redundant costs in the future.

Preventing roof leaks involves proactive measures. Here are some steps.

1. Have your roof regularly inspected.
2. Keep gutters clean and free of blockages.
3. Remove debris to prevent moisture accumulation.
4. Trim overhanging tree branches that could damage the roof.
5. Check for signs of animal damage, such as burrows or nests.

Yes, and for many reasons. The wind can cause branches to scrape against shingles, causing damage. Leaves may also accumulate in the gutters, leading to mold and leaks. The worst case is the limbs can fall onto your home during a storm if the tree is weak.
