Finding
a good contractor for shingle repair is important for homeowners in Charlotte
and Concord, NC who have shingle roofs. The advantage of shingles is that they
are relatively simple and inexpensive to replace. The disadvantage is that they
can be easily damaged or dislodged.
Asphalt
shingles are the most popular shingles. They last at least 20 years. Metal
shingles are the second most popular shingles. They last from 40 to 60 years.
Slate
shingles are naturally non-absorbent. Wooden shingles last 30 to 40 years, and
are made of pine, cypress, redwood or western red cedar. Synthetic shingles can
look like any of the above, and often cost less.
Things that happen to
shingles
A
lot of things can damage the shingles on your roof. A hurricane can do enormous
damage to your roof, and even a lesser storm can smash a tree branch into the
shingles. Hailstorms are another cause of damage.
Constant
sunlight can overheat the roof, leading to blistering and warping. Wind blowing
over the surface will push a slightly dislodged shingle even further out of
position. If the gutters of your roof become clogged, you may get water damage.
Even a flaw in attic ventilation can lead to overheating and warping.
