Residential roof repair can include anything from a small fix to a complete roof replacement but repairing a roof leak is just as important as repairing the more serious types of roof damage. A small leak can be more problematic in the long run and can cause unseen damage to the substructure of the house, potentially developing into a larger issue, like mold or rot. In some cases, when a homeowner sees signs of a leaky roof, there is already damage occurring that may have gone unnoticed for years. This damage might simply be associated with the insulation, or it could be manifested in weakened roof supports.

Asphalt shingle is the most widely used of all residential roofing material types mainly because of cost, ease of installation, and a the large variety of styles and colors available. You can choose a color by consulting a color sample chart or visiting our showroom to see the color option that works best for you. The most common asphalt shingle is the traditional three-tab style, but architectural style shingles are making a notable presence in the roofing market.

The first thing you should keep in mind is the difference between wood shingles and wood shakes. It can be a bit confusing, even for some people in the professional roofing business. Historically, wood shingles are smooth, while shakes are typically made with a more rustic look. As a standard, most of these roofing materials are made with a smooth side and a rough side, meaning that the distinction is sometimes made during the installation process. However, this is not always the case, so it is a good idea to talk to the contractor about this distinction during the estimate process.
