Determining if you need roof repairs or a roof replacement

If you find your leaks after a wind or rain storm, you may need either roof repairs or an entire roof replacement.  The extent of the damage will be the determining factor.  Well, if you find yourself putting pans around the house to catch leaks during every rainstorm or find pieces of your roof in your neighbor’s yard, it is time to call a professional roofing company like Advanced Roofing and Exteriors in Charlotte and Concord NC.

Start by inspecting the exterior of your home

Walk around your house following a wind storm and if you see shingles lying in your yard, you may need more than just roof repairs.  Next, use a pair of binoculars and do a thorough visual inspection of your roof.  If there are pieces and parts of your roof coming up or which are torn or cracked, chances are your roof needs more than just roof repairs.  You should consider calling one of Charlotte’s best roofing companies, Advanced Roofing and Exteriors to perform a roof inspection. 

Inspect the interior of your home

Next, go up into your attic and inspect the ceiling and walls.  If your attic roof is stained, moist or damaged in some other way, you will need to determine how extensive the damage is.  Also check the walls in your home.  Look for blistering, moisture, and mold or water damage.
