Taking Care of Roofs, Part 1: Common Roof Problems

Your roof faces a wide variety of weather conditions all year long. Over time, your roof will weaken and make your home vulnerable to the elements. In this first installment of our two-part blog series on common roof problems, we discuss the usual causes of these issues.

Leaks

There are many possible reasons that leaks occur in your home. One such reason is unnoticed storm damage. If you suspect your home has leaks, can call Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC to help inspect your roof. We can repair or replace it with quality roofing in Hollywood, FL to reinforce your home for the next several years.

Broken/Curled/Missing Shingles

The sun’s UV rays can deteriorate your roof over time. Shingles on your roof can lose their quality by turning dry, cracking, and blistering. Hail and storms can also cause severe damage to your shingles while strong winds can blow them off entirely.

Excessive Energy Bills

Heat trapped in your attic due to poor insulation can weaken your roof. Poor ventilation in your home can also cause heat to rise up to your attic and get trapped in the area. Moisture that enters your home through gaps and cracks can cause insulation in your attic to lose its effectiveness. This can lead you to overwork your HVAC units and drive up your energy bills. We offer metal residential roofing in Hollywood, Florida that can help reduce heat transfer in and out of your home. This can reflect heat from the sun and can resist moisture, ensuring a cozy home and lower energy bills.
