Shingle Woes to Watch For
Your roof is your building’s unsung hero, shielding your investment from the elements. But even heroes need a little help now and then. While we’re well-known for our TPO and PVC magic on flat and low-slope roofs, at Monument Roofing Systems, we’re also your go-to crew for commercial shingle roofs. Yep, if it’s a roof, we’ve got it covered—literally.
We felt like it was long past due for us to give you some insight on shingle roofs and how you can determine if yours is giving you an “SOS”. Let’s break it down:
1. Shingles Doing the Wave (Curling or Buckling) If your shingles look like they’re practicing their surf moves, it’s probably time to step in. Curling or buckling shingles often mean aging or poor ventilation is messing with your roof’s mojo.
2. The Case of the Missing Shingles Notice some bald spots on your roof or bits of shingles hanging out in your gutters? Missing shingles aren’t just a bad look; they’re a recipe for trouble.
3. Granule Trouble Those gritty little granules on your shingles aren’t just for show—they’re UV bodyguards. If you see granules piling up in your gutters or bare patches on your roof, it’s a sign your shingles are ready for retirement.
4. Water Woes Got water stains or leaks making an unwanted appearance? That’s your roof sending up an SOS. Don’t ignore it.
5. The Saggy Situation A sagging roof isn’t just a structural problem; it’s a “pull over and check this out” kind of problem. Prolonged water damage or aging shingles could be to blame.
6. The Age Factor Shingles don’t live forever. If your roof is pushing 20-30 years, it might be time for a friendly inspection to see what’s up.
