What is causing roof shingle problems? Every shingle has a different manufacturer specification for installation. Roof shingles deteriorate due to weather, age and installation methods. Tru-Spec®, Inc. will inspect your particular roofing materials to verify that they have been installed to the manufacturer installation specifications. Often, deterioration happens in one area of the roof while another area is fine or shingles have aged prematurely. This may be due to improper venting of the attic. The interior of the attic is part of Tru-Spec’s® Roofing Inspection. If the wood that the shingles are being fastened to is partially moisture rotted or if the attic is improperly vented, mold and mildew like staining may have appeared. Without a visual inspection of the attic there is no reason to replace the shingles only. Have repairs been performed properly? Shingles can blow off with inclement weather conditions or from possible incorrect fastening procedures when installed. If a home is new or has recently been re-roofed but still has leaks, an inspection may be necessary to determine the problem. Tru-Spec®, Inc. will find the cause and recommend a solution or two to repair the problem. Our inspectors are experienced builders who also can provide a rough estimate of what the repair may involve. Due to new techniques and materials used for shingle replacement, additional vents, hats, ridges, gables and soffit vents may be recommended and installed based on the dynamics of the original roof vent system. Note:  Tru-Spec®, Inc. is an inspection company.  We do not perform repair work nor hire contractors. We provide each client with an honest and complete evaluation of the problem and what may be involved in a solution. You can then hire your contractor of choice or perform the repair yourself. And, you may want to follow up with a Tru-Spec roof inspection after the repair is completed. Before your roof is replaced have an inspection performed by an independent inspection business to establish the true need. That way, you are able to determine what the licensed contractors will be bidding on. Roofing material replacement is costly and quality installation is needed for the roof to last. When inquiring with roofing companies we recommended that you chose a company that will be here for the long run – just in case. After the installation we recommended that the roof be inspected for quality install of the new materials and that all needed repairs have been completed for your roof to perform correctly. Tru-Spec® Roofing Inspections start at $125.00 for the average 2000 sq. ft. or less home. If you are interested in consulting with our inspectors or to schedule an appointment, call 614-433-9010.
