Signs that Tell You that Your Roof Needs Work

Wiggins Roofing company in Redwood City is driven by a team of highly-qualified, experienced roofers who understand what it takes to transform your roof. Many homeowners aren’t sure whether they require a roof replacement. In the following post, we would take a look at some of the common questions asked when it comes to roofing.

Roof Repair Work in Progress

When do I need a roof replacement?

It depends on certain factors. There can be several factors why your roof might need repair
If the roof is between 20 and 30 years old
If asphalt shingles are damaged, cracked or bending
If shingles are missing in their entirety

You may also notice mold formation, dry rot and peeling paint. None of the above factors mean you need a full roof replacement. A qualified roofer needs to examine the roof on a case-by-case basis – determining what the best course of action should be.

My roofing problem appears minor. Can’t I repair it myself?

We urge homeowners not to repair roofing problems themselves. There are two main reasons for this:
First, while the problem may – on the face of things – appear small, there could be a major underlying, structural issue at fault.
Second, there are serious safety concerns about inspecting and/or performing roof repairs.
That’s why our team of roofers in Corvallis have been trained to the very highest standards – not only professional roofing standards but also safety standards, too.
