Shingle Repairs

Broken shingles:

If the withering does not occur, you might find that shingles are broken down. Such breaking of pieces can be damaged due to extreme weather conditions and other unforeseeable events such as accidents. Such singles must be replaced to avoid leaking and exposing the home to the outside environment. Commonly, people install new shingles on the old shingles. Such a practice can also destroy your new shingle, so replacing the old one with the new one is best.

Granule Loss:

With time shingles can rot and lose their granules or pieces. Such withering can expose the underneath surface. You can also observe granule-like bits on the ground of your property; then, it can be a sign of receding shingles.

Splitting:

The shingle expands on heating, so expansion and contraction can split the shingle into pieces or cause cracks due to weather conditions.

Curling:

You can also look for the curling of the shingles. The edges of the shingles can either curve inward or outward. The lack of moisture or extreme heat on the shingles can cause that.

Shrinking:

Shingles can also shirk due to extreme weather conditions or aging

Lifting of Shingles:

As mentioned before, shingles can bend or curve; because of the conditions discussed above, shingles can lift, allowing water to dampen the underlayment and decking.

Rusting of Shingles at Valleys

Valley is the area where the slopes are met. The slopes can rot faster than any other part of the roof. This is because of the flow of water since water flows over the shingles to get to the gutter
