What lies beneath...


Many people do not know the signs of a failing roof and unfortunately end up replacing the roof after extensive damage has been done beneath the surface. 

Waiting until your roof looks like this...
Is too late and will cost you much more in the end.  This roof is in desperate need of replacement the shingles are cracked and flaking which leaves your roof vulnerable to moisture.  The homeowners unfortunately waited to call until they spotted a water stain on their ceiling, which resulted in extensive damage below the surface of the shingles and asphalt felt.
You can see the darker color of the plywood where the wood has become saturated from exposure to water and moisture.
  
The water can even rot out the wood joists, damage insulation, and even cause the gutters to pull away from your home's exterior.  All of which will need to be replaced before the new roof is installed.   Don't let this happen to you, inspect your roof in the fall and summer, or at least once a year to prevent this from happening.  Hire a professional if you are unable to get on your roof and in the attic to look for signs of wear or damage.
