Q?
What is involved in shingle roof repair?
-
A.
Depending on the type of damage your roof has sustained, shingle roof repair can be beneficial. A professional roofer can remove the damaged shingles and replace with new shingles.
If the wood underneath is rotten, the roofer will also replace the boards beneath the shingles if needed. That may mean they will have to remove more shingles around the repair site to replace the damaged boards.

Q?
When should I call a professional roofer?
-
A.
Getting on your roof requires the proper ladder and equipment. Depending on the pitch of your roof, it can be dangerous to climb on it yourself. Amelia Island Roofing suggests that you use a professional roofer for all shingle roof repairs.
If you have a low enough pitch, general maintenance can be handled by the homeowner if they are capable. This can include cleaning gutters and inspecting the roof for cracks. However, if anything needs to be replaced or repaired, it is best to use a professional roofer so that you do not further the damage.

Q?
How long will my roof last?
-
A.
As long as the roof was installed the right way, it should last up to 20 years. The life expectancy may go down in high wind areas or if your home has sustained storm damage.
Some types of roofs can last longer if properly maintained. This can include copper, slate, or clay tile roofs.
When deciding on a new roof, be sure to ask our team what is best for your home. We are able to provide you with the answers to your questions so that you can make the best possible decisions for your home.

Q?
How do I know if I need a metal roof replacement?
-
A.
A metal roof is often chosen for its long life. However, it is not completely immune to the harshness of weather. At some point, you will need a metal roof replacement. Obvious signs that you need a new one altogether include rust, leaking, and the lifting up of the metal at overlapping edges.
-
Q?
Do I need to replace my entire roof if it leaks?
-
A.
Many people are worried that if their roof is leaking, more than a shingle roof repair will be needed. Whether or not we will need to replace all of your shingles will usually depend on how the roof was put together. If poor installation is the source of the leak, then all of the shingles will need to be removed and then replaced.
