Tornado Alley Roofing Company

Plano Roofing Contractor J. D. Dunphy with Tornado Alley Roofing Company says Roof Repair is a cost effective option when considering repair vs replacement.

Roof replacement is a costly endeavor.  What a roof needs first and foremost is a complete Diagnostic Evaluation. Typically, when a homeowner calls a roofing contractor to report a leak or some missing shingles a roofing contractor will attend at the property, fix the problem and leave.  Very often, there is more to it than meets the eye.

The most common problem we get calls on is missing shingles.  This is caused by high winds.  When shingles are missing from the roof it is visually obvious from the ground.  However, a wind storm generally does not single out a small group of shingles and selectively remove them from the roof.  After the wind settles down so do most of the shingles that were lifted during the storm and many of these shingles are lifted and flap in the wind.  Some of the “necks” of individual shingles become severed completely and they end up on the lawn; necks of others break but otherwise appear intact.  Although they have the appearance of being undisturbed the seals underneath are breached and will not reseal.  If these shingles are not repaired or replaced subsequent wind driven rain will enter the dwelling.  So in addition to replacing the missing shingles it is important to identify those that have their necks broken and seals breached.  They must also be replaced as part of the roof repair.

• Other roof repairs are undertaken for various reasons such as leaks around pipes, vents, chimney flashing, skylights and valleys. 
• Most problems that occur on a roof that require roof repair, except missing shingles, are not readily apparent to a homeowner.  Consequently, they very often go unreported until a homeowner discovers a leak in the form of a stain on the ceiling.
• A Full Diagnostic Evaluation and subsequent roof repair is the only way to prolong the life of the roof structure and prevent additional interior damage.

Roofing Contractor Tornado Alley Roofing invites homeowners to call for a Full Diagnostic Evaluation and have them perform a roof repair in lieu of a full roof replacement. This will provide a few more years of life to an aging roof and save the homeowner several thousand dollars.

Stop the damage before it spreads by having Tornado Alley Roofing conduct a 17 Point Diagnostic Evaluation. The Evaluation involves a thorough inspection of both your attic and roof, including the shingles on the main area (field), ridge and valleys as well as vents, chimney and all protrusions.
