Over time, every roof will inevitably experience wear and tear from exposure to the sun, wind, rain, and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Left unaddressed, small issues can escalate into costly damage to the roof structure, interior of your home, and even mold growth. However, many common repair problems aren’t that serious when caught early.
As trusted roofing experts serving Ladera Ranch and surrounding areas for over 20 years, the professionals at C&M Roofing and Construction know first-hand which types of issues routinely require attention. We regularly perform repairs and maintenance ourselves to keep customer roofs in top condition. Let’s explore some typical roof repair scenarios we encounter and appropriate solutions.
Loose, Damaged, or Missing Shingles
Overhangs and edges sustain the most damage from wind and foot traffic over the years. Shingles may become loose, torn, cracked, or blown away completely if not securely fastened. Simply replacing or resealing affected shingles is a basic DIY repair for minor instances. For widespread problems, our team makes quick work of fully restacking damaged areas.
Leaking Around Vents, Skylights, or Chimneys
Flashings have a tendency to erode due to ongoing expansion and contraction from temperature swings. Left unattended, a few leaked roof details can mushroom project-wide. Schedule yearly vent and roof penetration tune-ups with us to proactively waterproof suspect areas before trouble strikes. A quick and budget friendly Flashings replacement prevents future headaches.
Moss or Algae Growth
Shady roof zones provide an ideal moist habitat for moss colonization, which mars appearance and accelerates material breakdown if persistent. Power washing alone won’t remedy the root cause—roofs require soluble fungicide application by licensed professionals. We efficiently eliminate moss while preserving roof integrity.
Granule Loss on Asphalt Shingles
Prolonged sun exposure causes asphalt shingles’ protective granule coating to gradually fade and deplete over 15-20 years on average. Bare asphalt becomes susceptible to cracking from sunlight. We reapply to match the granular sealant to restore reflectivity and extend the shingle lifespan cost-effectively.
Worn Flashing or Valleys
Where two roof planes meet at inside corners, flashings and open valleys concentrate water runoff which causes premature wear in these low spots. Rerolling and sealing valleys along with careful flashings replacement guards against leaks at your roof’s weakest points.
Decking or Sheathing Damage
Roof damage allowing water intrusion risks creating concealed structural problems. Attic inspections during repairs catch issues early. We perform ply replacement, spanning, or deck reinforcements to restore solid footing wherever water has degraded boards beneath roofings.
With multiple compounding fixes potentially required, trust experienced roofers like C&M Construction and Roofing to comprehensively address all repair areas for complete waterproofing and peace of mind.
