Residential and Commercial Roofing Problems
As the most exposed part of any building, the roof is highly vulnerable to wear and damage. Intense sunlight, heavy rain, and strong winds can all gradually weaken even the toughest roofs.
The roof is one of the most important protectors of any home or business, shielding it from the harshest elements. While a durable roof can last decades, repairs or replacement are inevitable over time.

Below are a couple of the most common roofing issues to watch out for whether you are protecting your home or business.
- Leaks: Roof leaks typically occur due to cracks or holes, often caused by harsh weather, physical damage, or improper installation.
- Flashing Damage: Flashing is a critical component in protecting your roof from water intrusion. It’s used to seal the edges of roofs, chimneys, skylights, and other joints, where water is most likely to seep in.
- Damaged Material: The durability and maintenance needs of your roof depend largely on the type of material used. Common roofing materials include asphalt shingles, metal, tile, and slate, each with its own lifespan and repair requirements. Some materials may need more frequent repairs or replacements due to factors like weather exposure and material composition.
- Missing Shingles: Shingles can be torn off or damaged by strong winds. Over time, they may also loosen and fall off due to aging, rot, or weather-related wear and tear.
- Pooling Water: Insufficient drainage can cause water to collect on the roof, leading to serious issues such as leaks, mold growth, and wood rot.
