#1. Your shingles are buckling<\/h3>\n

Buckling shingles are a telltale sign that you need or replacement. When a shingle buckles, it tends to look a little bit like a distorted wave.\u00a0Buckled shingles have a high risk of being torn off<\/strong> in a wind storm, such as the summer monsoon weather patterns we get here in Houston during the summer.<\/p>\n

Shingles usually buckle when they are old, or if they were originally installed poorly. If you can see shingles buckling from the ground, you need to have RCC-HOUSTON. come out for a free roofing checkup.<\/p>\n

#2. You notice bare spots or missing granules<\/h3>\n

Take a look at your roof from the ground. Do you notice any shingles that look bare when compared to the others? Shingle granules can be washed away over time by a\u00a0poorly designed valley drainage, insufficient eaves trough, or poorly placed downspouts.<\/strong>\u00a0Again, most Valley homeowners begin to notice these problems when the monsoon arrives in late summer, or\u00a0during winter rains.<\/p>\n

Once the granules fall off, the shingle is no longer protected from exposure to the elements and can become brittle. Bare spots are a clear indication of a worn shingle roof that needs replacement.<\/p>\n

#3. Some of your shingles are missing<\/h3>\n

If some of your shingles are missing, the entire structure of your roof is at stake.<\/strong>\u00a0Missing shingles are a serious problem that should be addressed as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

Their absence can allow water entry into your attic and can compromise the strength of your entire roof. A damaged shingle roof should\u00a0be repaired\u00a0or replaced right away.<\/p>\n

#4. Your shingles are curling<\/h3>\n

Curling shingles are a telltale sign of excessive heat damage and old age. If they are not replaced, curled shingles will likely become rigid and eventually break.<\/p>\n
