Shingle Replacement
Homeowners have to learn to identify problem areas on their roofs and repair or replace shingles before larger problems arise. A roof's primary job is to shed rain and snow off of the home itself, protecting the home and it's frame inside. When a roof begins to fail, water damage is a sure thing, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. If you are able to safely walk on your roof, look around for cracked or missing shingles, damaged or missing metal on the seems of your roof (referred to as flashing). Bend back shingles that looked aged. You'll know it's time to replace them if instead of bending the shingle breaks or crumbles.
Shingle Materials
Shingles consist of overlapping, typically rectangular shapes laid out in rows. Starting from the bottom of the roof and moving towards it's apex shingles are laid out one by one and can be double layered to add to the waterproof ability. Shingles come in a huge variety of materials. From Aggregate (asphault) and fiberglass, to wood, slate and cement, your roofing material is usually based on what part of the country you live in.
