One of the most ignored responsibilities of a homeowner is roof maintenance and repair. They either intentionally or unintentionally ignore the structure that is over their head. Ignoring roof maintenance and needed roof repairs will ultimately lead you to roof replacement sooner than expected.

Water leaks and other damages turn serious in long term situations. Whether you intentionally or unintentionally ignored the issues, that doesn’t stop or slow down the need for roof replacement.

How will you know when to repair or replace the roof?

Below are 6 signs that indicate your roof needs to be repaired or replaced:

1. Water Damage- The most common sign is water damage on the ceiling and/ or walls. Water stains and other signs of water damage are not to be ignored! Sure, it may not look so bad but behind those walls is a mess of costly repairs getting worse as time passes.
2. Damaged Flashings- Flashings are intended to prevent water from entering your roof. These, typically aluminum made, flashings is a thin material for the purpose of keeping water from leaking into the roof. If the material of the flashing is deteriorated or damaged, the risk of water leaking into your roof is much higher. Water leaking into the roof can result in wood rote, mold growth, and overall structural impairment.
3. Sagging- With good structure, your roof will follow a straight line with edges or ridges. If the roof sags or contains saddlebags in the ridge, its a good indication that your roof has structural damage and is at high risk of collapsing if not corrected in a timely matter. A sagging roof can be caused by excess exposure to moisture, incorrect roofing materials, and low-quality installation.
4. Roof Age- The life expectancy is partly determined on the type of material used. If your roofing material is getting old and worn out, call for a roof inspection. The roof expert will assess your roof and provide options on repair and replacement, if needed.
5. Moss & Fungi Growth- Moss might be okay outside in a shady part of your backyard but it’s not healthy to have moss growth on your roof. Signs of moss, mold, or fungi are good indicators that the roof has some trapped moisture and should be treated immediately to avoid further roof damage and even collapse.
6. Loose & Damaged Tiles- Be sure to inspect your roof tiles every so often. You can get on the roof or schedule an inspection annually. If you see damaged tiles and notice some missing, it might be time to replace the roof depending on the severity.

The unfortunate truth is that there are individuals who claim to be professional roofers but have little to no credentials. A guy that shows up to your house with a tool bag claiming to be a roofer isn’t always a roofer. Sure, they can give it a try but if you care about your family’s safety and the longevity of the roof, you’ll politely send them on their way!  

Spend the extra time finding a licensed and qualified roofer for these reasons… 

1. Quality: A licensed roofing contractor has already put the time and effort into following and meeting requirements. A cheap and unlicensed roofer decided to take the lazy, easy, and most likely illegal route. You wouldn’t want that being reflected on your roof! A licensed roofer will ensure your roof is built with quality to keep you and your family safe.  

2. Knowledge: To become a licensed roofing contractor you must learn, study, past tests, learn more, study more, and pass more tests! If one too many questions get answered wrong, the individual won’t get their license. The dedication and understanding must be there to become a licensed roofing contractor. They will have most if not all the answers to your questions and be able to properly install a new roof with confidence. 

3. Accurate Estimates & Contracts: A licensed contractor will take the time to provide a detailed estimate so you aren’t hit with any surprising fees. You’ll know what your money is going towards and won’t have the feeling like they’re taking advantage of you. 

4. Legality: Using a licensed roofing contractor gives you legal security in case something did go south. The roofing company will have general liability insurance and worker’s compensation. This will cover damage done by the roofers in the event something like that does happen because hey, we’re still human. 

Have the peace of mind knowing your roof will be installed properly when you use a licensed roofing company like Almeida Roofing Inc. We demonstrate our quality, knowledge, accuracy, and compliance to every customer we meet and through every roof we install. For an estimate on a new roof in the Phoenix, Arizona area, call Almeida Roofing Inc at 602-743-3175. 

Has the time come to fork out money for a new roof? As financially frustrating as it is to spend thousands of dollars on something that isn’t as exciting as a new car or even a new couch, it is still important. We don’t always like prioritizing but when it comes to the safety of you and your family, it’s impossible not to. So now that you’ve accepted the fact that you’re on the market for a new roof, it’s time to find a roofing contractor to do the job. 

Why do you need a licensed and professional roofer? Well, because when it comes to the sturdiness of your roof and safety of every living being inside the home, you don’t want some joe shmoe off the street who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Unfortunately, we can’t trust everyone we meet no matter how nice they may be and we must spend more to get more. Just because joe tells you he’s licensed and knows what he’s doing, does not mean that is accurate. And just with anything else, you pay for quality. When you get a new roof installed by a certified and licensed roofing contractor, you get quality, professionalism, a good warranty, and peace of mind. 

Your house is a place you make a home. If you don’t feel safe and secure, then are you really at home? Without a sturdy roof over your head, it’s hard to feel safe. I get it… I’d be a little worried too if I knew my roof was in rough shape. The image of my roof caving in on me during my favorite movie would be enough to send me to the bank to pull out all my money to give to the next roofing company I saw. Luckily, I know a licensed, professional, and certified roofing contractor here in Phoenix, Arizona!

What are the first signs my roof has problems?
Things like missing shingles, water stains inside the home, or exposed roof components can all be your first signs of a problem with your roof.

What do I do if I have a roof leak?
Remember that a roof leak does not mean you need a whole new roof; it could be a matter of repair. The first step is to get someone to inspect and find out why your roof leaks. If there’s damage from a storm, it may be an insurance issue, and the next step would be to contact your homeowner’s insurance to see what they cover based on what you are inspector said.

How long does it take to replace your roof?
In most cases, one day, but that depends on the weather and crew size.

What should you ask a roofing company before hiring them?
Please don’t be shy when asking questions to a possible roofing contractor. Be sure to ask about insurance, if their license checks reviews and Better Business Bureau ratings, ask for references, and find out what sort of warranties are included in your new roof or any work the contractor does.

It is 2023 and we are continuing with the soft gray tones. Gray walls, countertops, cabinets, and floors are the go-to when choosing interior colors and now you can add roof tiles to that list!

Make your home more appealing with gray roof tiles instead!    

Don’t worry, there are different gray tones & tile types you can choose from. For example, there are gray asphalt shingles, gray slate, gray cedar, and more! When you’re spending a pretty penny for home upgrades, you want to ensure you like it.

There are different materials that go into building a roof and one of those are the roofing tiles. While these are meant to protect you, they still wear down and crack over time. Cracked tiles can be caused by impact from falling objects, freezing, and weather. Sometimes you can get away with repairing a few random tiles but in more serious cases, replacement may be necessary. Whether you need roof repairs or replacement, it’s important to know how these cracks can happen.  

Causes of Broken/Cracked Roof Tiles 

1. Falling Objects 

2. Freezing and thawing  

3. Weather 

Falling objects could be things like… a branch from that giant tree on the side of your house or, if you’re really unlucky, an aircraft losing control and landing not so graciously on the roof. No matter what the object is, it’s possible to crack a shingle with it.  

When there is sitting water on the roof that freezes and thaws over and over again, this can cause the roofing tiles to crack. While the water goes through the roofing materials, the temperature fluctuating causes the cracks to occur.  

Here in Phoenix, Arizona, we occasionally get a crazy hail storm that lasts about 3 minutes. It may be a short time but the falling ice can cause cracks and holes in a matter of no time. When we get strong winds during monsoon season, the tiles have a chance of peeling or lifting.  

Whatever the reason, if you need a roofing specialist to give you direction on repairing or replacing your roof, Almeida Roofing Inc is available to help! Our professionals will inspect the roof and present you with options. We will work with you every step of the way to get your roof back in shape! Call us anytime to schedule an inspection with Almeida Roofing Inc!

Being a homeowner, we expect our roof to protect us forever. We never really consider the possibility of having to replace the roof when we are buying a house. We’re more excited about picking the house, getting approved, and moving in. People aren’t thinking about when they’ll have to replace their roof and if they are, they’ve probably worked at a roofing company! For those who have no roofing experience, here are signs that it’s about time for roof replacement.  

Stains- Check for stains on the outer walls, rafters and decking underneath the shingles. If there are stains, it may be time to replace the roof. Staining is an indication of issues like wood rot and moisture.  

Cracked & Curled Shingles- If your roof has shingles and is more than 15 years old, take a close look for any cracks or curling. Cracks and curls are no good!  

Sagging- A sagging roof can be caused by poor workmanship, incorrect installation, undersized rafter, and extreme weight. Walk outside, step away, and look at your roof to see if you notice any sagging.  

Visible Light- Get in your attic and look up to see if there is any light coming through. If yes, it might be time to call for a roof replacement. That light coming through is from cracks and holes that shouldn’t be there!
