Hail Damage Repair in Oakland
Often, people don’t think much about their roofing materials until they notice signs of damage. Though we do encourage you to get a free roof inspection at least once per year, here are some signs that can help determine whether your roof is damaged:
- Signs of water inside
- Damaged shingles or tiles
- Missing shingles or tiles
- Loose shingle granules
- Leaky or clogged gutters
- Extreme temperatures in your attic and high energy bills
Here’s a closer look at each.
Signs of Water Inside
If you notice water leaking in through your roof, you need and immediate consultation with a professional. Water should never come in through your roof – not through your vents, your shingles, or anywhere else. You may notice an active drip in your attic or coming from your ceiling, or you may notice water stains on the paint of your ceiling or walls. You may even notice discolored wood on the rafters in your attic, damp insulation, or mold or mildew growth inside your attic. These are all signs that water has gotten in, and you need a professional to find the source right away.
Damaged Shingles or Tiles
Your shingles and tiles are your roof’s first line of defense against the elements, and if they’re damaged, they can’t do their jobs properly. If you notice cracks, curling, bald spots or any other types of damage on shingles or roof tiles, call a professional right away. You should also look for dents and dings in your shingles. This type of damage is particularly common after a Oakland hailstorm, and although it may not seem serious to have a few dents in your shingles, you need to know that shingles are shaped very specifically to help your roof shed water. If you see this type of damage on your roof, it requires immediate attention.
Missing Shingles or Tiles
Because shingles and tiles protect the roofing materials they cover, they all need to remain in place for your roof to maintain its integrity. If you have any missing shingles or tiles, you need an expert to come evaluate the situation and replace them immediately.
Loose Shingle Granules
Shingle granules are small, asphalt covered beads that help your roof shed water. Overtime, or due to trauma, they can come off your shingles; when that happens, it looks like your shingles have bald spots.
But even if you don’t see bald spots on your shingles, you should be on the lookout for tiny granules in your gutters, near your downspouts and even on the ground beneath your roofline. If you find them, it’s a sign that your shingles are wearing down. Often, you can simply make repairs and prolong your roof’s life. However, if you let the issue go on for too long, you may be on the road to needing a complete roof replacement.
Leaky or Clogged Gutters
Though leaky and clogged gutters don’t always lead to roof damage, they can. This is something your inspector will address at your free annual roof inspection.
Extreme Temperatures in Your Attic and Skyrocketing Energy Bills
Your attic should never reach extreme temperatures. If it does, it’s a sign that your ventilation isn’t working properly or that your roofing materials are not performing as they should. Extreme temperatures can lead to unusually high energy bills.
What Happens When Your Roof Gets Old?
Because most roofing materials are designed to last between 20 and 30 years, getting a new roof is inevitable. Everyone has to do it eventually. Sometimes, you can put off a roof replacement by making timely repairs when things go wrong. But you can’t put it off forever, so that’s where Roofing Experts Orlando comes in. Our team of experts can handle every aspect of the job, from helping you decide which materials are right for your needs to the actual installation and related work.

A Word on Your Roof’s Age and Hail Damage
Often, outside of hail damage and other types of environmental damage, you can put off a complete roof replacement by properly maintaining your roof and repairing it as soon as you discover damage. Unfortunately, though, roofing materials aren’t designed to last forever. Most asphalt roofs last between 20 and 30 years, while some tile roofs can last for 50 or more. The bottom line is that everyone needs a roof replacement eventually.
Your best bet when it comes to prolonging your roof’s lifespan is to have your roof inspected frequently, particularly after hailstorms, and to make repairs as soon as you discover the need.
