Is your roof trying to tell you something?
Many Montgomery County homes built in the 1990s and 2000s are currently experiencing “mid-life” component failures. Before you assume you need a full replacement, a professional repair can often resolve targeted issues and buy your roof several more years of service life.
Signs You Need Professional Roof Repair
- Isolated Water Stains: Yellow or brown spots on your ceiling are clear indicators of an active leak.
- Granules in Gutters: Excessive shingle grit in your downspouts suggests your roof’s protective layer is thinning.
- Damaged Flashing: Cracked or pulled-away metal around chimneys and vents.
- Curling or Cracked Shingles: Signs of heat stress or age that leave your wood decking vulnerable to rot.
- Moss or Algae Growth: Organic growth that traps moisture against your shingles, accelerating decay.
- Sudden Energy Bill Spikes: Can indicate compromised attic insulation due to moisture or poor ventilation.
The ELR “Precision Fix” Process
A repair shouldn’t look like a “patch job.” We ensure our repairs are structurally superior and aesthetically blended.
- Infrared Leak Assessment: We don’t just guess where the water is coming from. We track the moisture path to find the actual entry point, which is often far from where the stain appears.
- Foundation Inspection: While repairing the surface, we check the underlying wood deck for mold or rot to ensure the structural integrity of your home.
- Color-Matched Materials: We stock a wide variety of shingles from top manufacturers to ensure your repair blends in as seamlessly as possible with your existing roof.
- Clean-Site Commitment: We treat your property with respect. From the moment we arrive to the final magnetic nail sweep, we ensure no debris is left behind.
