3 R's of Roofing: Repair, Rescue or Replace

The 3 R’s of Roofing: Repair, Rescue or Replace

August 30, 2016RoofingFrank Karkazis

In Chicago, whether it is your home or place of business, roofing faces the unpredictable fluctuations of Midwest seasons 24 hours a day. Spring and Fall are challenging due to the rough winds that whip against the building’s exterior. Summer’s hot temperatures bake the roofs with surface temperatures that often exceed 200 degrees. And don’t forget about Winter’s powerful snow, ice and freezing temperatures that accumulate on the roofs surface for several weeks at a time.

3 R's of Roofing: Repair, Rescue or Replace

Roofing tends to fall in the “out of sight, out of mind” category for homeowners and property managers; however, from the moment of installation, the roofing system undergoes continuous deterioration. While there are many tips for DIY roof maintenance, a professional inspection may be necessary according to the tell-signs to look for below:

  • How old is the roof? Most asphalt roofs last 25-30 years. If the roof has hit 35+ years, even if it looks good chances are its longevity is over.
  • Shingles are either missing, cracked or curling. These are “signs of weathering and indicate that problems – potentially leaks – are relatively close to fruition,” says Mark Graham of National Roofing Contractors Association.
  • Shingle granules are loaded in the gutter 
  • Is it leaking? Leaks can trap moisture and cause rot inside the home or building.

Choosing the right roofing professional to inspect your home or office is critical! Trust, analysis and expertise will help you determine who to choose and how to avoid a roofing horror story. At FGK Services, Inc., we continue to raise the “B.A.R.” by providing Beautiful, Affordable and Reliable asphalt roofing systems for any residence or commercial building.
