When to Replace The Roof On Your Alexandria\u00a0Virginia Home<\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you find yourself looking at your roof and wondering if those shingles are curling? Or maybe you\u2019ve hopped on the roof yourself and seen the missing shingles<\/strong>, granule erosion, and other damage. It\u2019s not always easy to see when you need a roof replacement Alexandria VA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look for the Physical Signs<\/h2>\n

T\"roof<\/a>he physical signs can be obvious. If you\u2019re emptying your gutters<\/strong> and seeing loads of granules<\/em> in there, this means your shingles are reaching the end of their life expectancy. Curling shingles or missing shingles leave room for moisture to come into your home. Cracked shingles means the age of your roof is showing!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re seeing black streaks on your roof, this is a type of algae that can be removed with a chlorine solution and is not necessarily indicative that a roof replacement Alexandria VA is needed. Know the signs. Check your roof. Call a professional.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Know the Limit for Your Repairs<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"roof<\/a>Some homeowners think that if a few shingles are missing, they can get up on the roof and do the repairs themselves. This might work for a time, but it\u2019s important to know the limit for your repairs<\/strong>. If it\u2019s one or two shingles, that\u2019s doable. If it\u2019s fifty different shingles, it\u2019s probably time for a roof replacement.<\/p>\n

What if your repair work still allows water into the structure? What if there are bigger issues underneath you can\u2019t see?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consider Unseen Damage\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"replacing<\/a>The surface of your roof isn\u2019t always the truth teller. Fixing a couple shingles<\/strong> here and there might seem like the perfect solution at the time, but underneath the surface there could be a bigger problem. If you were the homeowner when the last roof was installed, you might be aware about the condition beneath the surface.<\/p>\n

However, if you weren\u2019t around for the roof\u2019s installation<\/em>, you may not even be sure if there\u2019s another layer of roofing under there.
