Fixing curling roof shingles

Roof shingles replacement from roofing companies
Reasons roof shingles curl

If your roof is older than fifteen years, chances are the roof shingles are starting to curl and your entire roof should be replaced.It is a good idea to discuss this with one of the roofing companies located in the Charlotte and Concord NC area to ensure the roof is installed properly.Another reason for roof shingles to curl is that they were not installed properly.Often, the roofer uses three nails instead of four or the nails go all the way through the roof shingles,damaging the roof shingles and causing them to eventually curl. Poor attic ventilation is one of the main reasons for roof shingles to curl.  If an attic is improperly vented, heat can build up loosening the shingle adhesive.Also, attics can get damp, which promotes mold growth, another thing which can loosen roof shingles adhesive. Another reason for roof shingle to curl is when their tar lines are not lined up properly.Tar lines are the strips of adhesive which hold the roof shingles to the deck.When they are not lined up properly, they fail to seal the roof shingles, which allows them to curl.
