Signs Your Shingles Should Be Repaired
Residents often forget to look up at the shingles on their roofs. Nevertheless, it is a good idea to be aware of the general health of shingles, so homeowners can alert professionals of when to repair the roof.
Some of the most common warning signs that shingles should be fixed include:
- The presence of shingle granules in the gutter
- Shingles that are cracked, worn, torn, or broken off completely
- An absence of asphalt grains, which gives the shingles a bald appearance
- Multiple bare patches in the roof where shingles have gone missing
How Long Do Shingles Last?
Since shingles are not quite as durable as other roofing materials (such as clay tiles or aluminum sheathing), it is understandable that they will need to be replaced sooner. How often do shingles last? Typical three-tab shingles, named for the triple tabs lining every strip of the shingle, usually have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Architectural shingles, however, are about three times as thick and dense. This enables them to last 20 to 30 years. Of course, the amount of maintenance that a shingled roof receives affects its longevity. Having frequent checkups can extend the life of the roof by five to 10 years.
David, Walter and crew at Superior Roofing responded quickly to a damaged gutter to have the repair done before heavy rains. The quote was very reasonable and provided within 12 hours of my request, and the job itself was finished within days of the quote. The repair works and looks like new again. The crew doing the work was 100% professional, repainted, and cleaned up the area as if it was new again.

The Benefits of
Rapid Shingle Troubleshooting
If one shingle is damaged or lost, it is not a big deal. However, when too many shingles have deteriorated or gone missing, the roof is susceptible to leaks. Absent or broken shingles contribute to continual moisture and humidity. This harbors an environment for mold, mildew, bacteria, and other harmful elements to thrive. By quickly repairing or replacing a few shingles when they are just starting to deteriorate, homeowners can avoid more severe consequences.
