Roof Repairs

Your roof protects your home from the elements and is part of your home’s structural integrity. Damage to your roof is frustrating and can be dangerous if left unchecked. Roof leaks can lead to interior water damage that threatens the structural soundness of your home. Your roof could have loose shingles, leaks, or damaged gutters. You need these problems solved with high-quality repairs before they become a bigger issue.

We’ve been serving homeowners in the Indianapolis area for more than 12 years, and we are proud to keep families and their homes safe from the elements. The area we live in experiences severe changes in weather, wind and hails storms, and ice.  All these conditions can cause serious damage to roof and your home’s exterior. We recommend an annual inspection of your roof with a detailed assessment and photographs.  We have the experience necessary to provide you with quality work you can trust.

Common Roof Repairs and Causes

There are several types of roof damage that can harm your home.

Leaking Roof

Roof leaks can be caused by installation errors, damaged or loose shingles, clogged gutters, missing flashing, and ice dams. If you notice damage after a storm or severe weather event, have it inspected by a professional. Often, the damage from roof leaks is slow to become visible, and you may not notice an issue until there are large water stains on the interior of your home.

In addition to eliminating the water damage stains, it’s essential to also fix the cause of the leak to prevent further issues. Our team can repair and replace shingles, flashing, and any water damaged part of the home.

Hail Damage

Hail can create holes in your shingles, or dent and dislodge shingles.  Most hail damage does not immediately manifest.  The impact from hail to the shingle surface results in the release of granules and compromises the structure of shingles, which results in the premature failure of the roof system.  A professional inspection of your home and exterior services is recommended, as hail damage may not be obvious to most homeowners.

Wind

Wind can remove and displace shingles, and other important parts of the roof system.  Wind damage is usually noticeable.  You can inspect your roof from the ground for missing or loose shingles, or loos for dislodged shingles on the ground, and other areas such as loose or missing siding.  Missing or loose shingles should be repaired immediately to decrease the risk of additional damage to the roof and decrease the risk of water intrusion and damage.

Winter Damage

Ice dams, snow build-up, and snowmelt can all cause damage to your roof. Ice dams can keep sitting water on your roof, rather than allowing it to flow freely away from your home. It’s important to take steps to prevent ice dams and ensure your roof is protected from potential water damage.

Ventilation (Roof/Atic)

Inadequate or improper ventilation of the attic/roof leads to excessive attic temperatures, curled and blistered shingles and can result in warping of the roof decking and mold in the attic.  Most shingles manufacturers offer extended or lifetime warranties, but those warranted are predicated upon proper ventilation and installation.  Unfortunately, this critical part of the roof system is often ignored at the time of construction and at roof replacement.
