Get Your Asphalt Shingle Roof Repaired

Asphalt shingles are one of the most common types of roofing materials. Their strength and durability are unmatched by other roofing materials. This material is able to resist hail, wind, and fire damage, but it can also suffer from discoloration and other damages over time. Whether or not you need to repair your shingles will depend on the nature of the damages. You can contact a professional roofing company to get a free estimate.


If you're not confident in your ability to perform this type of home repair, consult a professional. The repair can be complicated, but it's not impossible. First, you'll need to make sure your roof is in good shape. Usually, the only way to tell if you're ready for the task is to do a test. You can test this by bending over a shingle flap. If you see mineral granules on the gutter, you've got a bald spot or cracks. If you find curled shingles, you'll need to make a call to a roofer.

The summer sun can also affect the shingles. Heat causes them to dry out more quickly in hot weather while cooling down slowly. The extreme heat also weakens the asphalt, causing shingles to break under pressure. The water can also seep through the exposed nails and cause them to break. Once they've broken, you'll need to get them repaired.


Another common problem with asphalt shingles is water channeling. The water can cause the shingles to break and shrink. Ultimately, they'll tear apart completely. And, you don't want to deal with this problem on your own. Instead, you should contact a roofer. They should be able to perform the repairs safely. Besides, they'll have experience with a variety of roofing materials and can handle it safely. Contact Mike’s Roofing to get a free estimate on our roofing services.
