    FAQ

    Why Does Warranty Matter?

    What Should I Do If I Have Missing Roof Shingles?

    What If I Have Missing Granular on My Roof's Shingles?

    Granular is the underlying asphalt base of the shingle. When roof shingles are missing too much granular, they will start to dry and crack. This is a major warning sign for your roof. If you’re not seeing leaks already, you should replace your roof soon before you do.

    Why Does My Roof Have Algae On It?

    Algae growth on your roof indicates poor drainage. You may be surprised that the primary function of the roof is to shed water. If your roof is experiencing algae growth then leaks and further damage are likely to occur sooner rather than later.

    What is Flashing Damage?

    Flashing is sheet metal that covers the joints of a roof to protect it from water damage.  Caulking is frequently used to “fix” a flashing problem on roofs, but is really just a cosmetic application for a flashing and isn’t meant to create a waterproof barrier. Generally, a flashing problem will keep on leaking regardless of the amount of caulking applied. Replacement is the best solution to flashing problems.

    Why Are My Roof Shingles Blistering?

    Roof shingle blistered they will appear cracked and bubbling. Blistering usually indicates that the roof shingles are probably moved out of their original placement. It is time to replace your roof before it breaks more.
