Q: My roof is leaking. Does this mean I need a new one?
A: Not necessarily. You may only need repair work. The best way to determine the problem is to call in a professional roofing company for an evaluation. They'll advise you on the most viable and cost-effective course of action.
Q: How do I spot potential trouble on my roof?
A: Signs of problems are most likely in roofs that are fifteen years or older.
Look for:
- loose or missing shingles
- damaged flashing
- pieces of metal or roll roofing wrapped around vent pipes, chimneys and adjoining walls to prevent water seepage and leakage
- buckling and curling - shingles that are bent up in the middle or turned up at the corners
- blistering and rotting - bubbles caused by moisture in the shingle and appear on the surface of asphalt roofing

Q: What should I know when choosing shingles?
A: There are three basic types of shingles.
- Asphalt Composition tiles are the most popular because they are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. Most home owners chose asphalt shingles because the life expectancy is 25+ years.
- Premium asphalt shingles provide a more distinctive appearance and carry a longer manufacturer's warranty. They come in many unique styles which are more attractive, but also more expensive than the basic asphalt tile.
- Cedar shingles and shakes are listed in the Green Consumers Guide as being completely renewable. They are very attractive however, their higher cost makes them a less popular choice.
Q: Once the job starts, how can I monitor its progress?
A: Check that the terms of your contract are being carried out.
- Did the job begin when your contractor said it would?
- Is it progressing on schedule?
- Are the roofing materials the brand you were guaranteed?
- Is the work being handled in an efficient, professional manner?
- Is the contractor available to answer questions or tend to your concerns?
