Need A New Roof?
How do you know when you need a new roof? Every individual composite shingle is composed of four layers:
1) a mat of glass fibers or organic materials
2) asphalt
3) filler made of limestone and sand
4) granules of crushed stone with a ceramic coating
Spot Roof Damage
In many cases it is not hard to spot roof damage. When shingles are exposed to severe weather, the asphalt layer shrinks and deteriorates. Consequently, the shingle hardens, becomes brittle and results in:
• Cupped or curled edges
• Hairline cracks, appearing in random patterns throughout a shingle
• Splitting that results in horizontal, vertical or diagonal cracks
• Splices that leaves a double thickness of mat that does not allow the remaining layers of the shingle to be properly formed
• Blisters, resulting in pockmarks in the shingle
• Discolored streaks or patches caused by lichens or algae (moss & algae damage)
• Diagonally patterned deterioration
• Rounded or horseshoe shaped areas where granules are compressed into the asphalt coating
• Hail damage that produces a random pattern of strike marks in various sizes or bruises
