In northeast Ohio most homes have a pitched roof. Pitched means
it is at an angle. The greater the angle the steeper the pitch. The
roof cover is usually a shingle.
What are shingles made from? Roof shingles are usually made
out of wood, or asphalt. There are three main forms of asphalt roof
shingles: organic, laminated and fiberglass. Usually, wood
shingles are made from western red cedar, and they may be
tapersplit, handsplit and resawn, tapersawn or straight-split.
With organic asphalt roof shingles, paper or felt is saturated with
asphalt to make it waterproof; a top coating is put on and then
ceramic granules, which may contain copper or tin to deter moss
growth on your roof, are applied. Two separate layers make up
laminated asphalt roof shingles; they weigh more, cost more and
are wear longer than regular organic asphalt roof shingles.
Fiberglass asphalt roof shingles start with a fiberglass mat and
asphalt with mineral fillers added.
How to tell when a roof needs to be replaced. As roof shingles
get older, they are exposed to all types of weather, heat, ice, rain
and wind. A sure sign of the end of a roofs life is indicated by a curl
at the edges of the shingle tab. Shingles may also appear
cracked, worn and cupped. When roof shingles show any of these
telltale signs of age it is time to call us for replacement as soon as
possible. It is imperative that whoever inspects your roof shingles
is mindful of this, because if they walk across the surface of
cupped roof shingles, they may cause the roof to go from being
near the end of its life to a failed and/or leaking condition. We know
how careful we have to be when checking roofs with these issues.
If your roof shingles are fine, but you have some that are missing.
Perhaps they blew off in a bad storm, maybe during hurricane
season. It is no problem for us to replace missing roof shingles,
and we can make them match the rest of your house so no one
will even know they were replaced.
Clearly, keeping your roof shingles in the best shape possible is
imperative to the health of your roof. If you find that you have
missing shingles or that you have shingles that are curling, and let
us come out and give you a free estimate of what it would cost to
fix them.
