Signs You Need a New Roof

Your roof is the structural portion of your home that takes the most abuse from the weather and other natural elements. A roof takes many beatings over the years— getting weaker and weaker after every storm. If your roof is damaged, it will not be long before the entire structure is compromised. Depending on the material your new roof is made from, the expected lifespan can vary. However, no matter what type of material is used, the fact is that no material lasts forever. Here are some things you can look for to help determine whether you need a roof repair or a new roof.

Signs You Need a New Roof - Dry Tech Roofing Company

Clear Signs You Need a New Roof

For some homeowners, repairing their roof means getting out the ladder and plugging up hole after hole. This can be a dangerous activity, and we suggest leaving your repairs up to a professional Maryland area roofing company like DryTech Roofing.

Here are some of the signs of damage to your roof that you can check for. If you run into any of these problems, give the roof repair experts at DryTech a call.

  • Missing shingles
  • Cracked or curling shingles
  • Shingles whose granules have worn off
  • Excessive growth of moss on roof’s surface or between shingles
  • Penetration of the shingle layer or roof deck by branches or debris
  • Flashing that is loose or missing
  • Water stains on interior walls
  • Gutters that are pulling away from the roof’s edge

These signs are the most visible clues that your roof is damaged, but there are many more that our expert Maryland roofing inspectors will discover. That is why it is better to leave any roof inspection and repair to a professional Maryland roofer.

Quality Materials Equals Quality Repairs

If DryTech Roofing’s expert contractors determine that an entirely new roof is not a necessity for your home, we will then make our suggestions for repairs. In order for repairs to be a truly viable option, the materials used must be of the highest quality. Otherwise, the repaired areas will just break down a few years down the road, and you could be looking once again at the possibility of a full replacement. DryTech Roofing uses repair materials from GAF, the leading producer of superior-quality roofing materials in the country. Unlike many contractors, our repairs are designed to extend the lifespan of your roofing system.

A Roof Inspection from the Ground Floor? Not at DryTech Roofing.

Not every roofing company in Maryland is alike. Some contractors will give you an estimate on roof repairs without even climbing up and inspecting the roof themselves. It is impossible to perform a thorough and detailed analysis of a roof from the ground floor. That is why the experts at DryTech Roofing perform all inspections from the roof itself— climbing up and leaving no small detail unattended. We can detect even the most subtle signs of damage because we understand the subtle aspects of the roofing system as whole. We will be able to recognize signs of damage that other roofing companies cannot, solely based on our years of experience and our factory-training from some of the nation’s leading roofing manufacturers. You will be able to make the best informed decision about your roof and we will even leave you with some signs you do need a new roof to look for down the line.

At DryTech Roofing we will work to EARN your business, which means that we will do whatever we can to make your next roofing project is as hassle-free as possible. If you see signs of damage, or just want to make sure you’re safe and sound.
