Homeowners typically call a roofing contractor in Tulsa, OK, for two main reasons. One is the discovery of a leak from the roof showing up somewhere in the home. The other is realizing by the age and appearance of the shingles that it’s time for roof replacement. These property owners would rather have replacement work completed before any leaks develop.
Signs of Deterioration
Men and women who want to evaluate the state of their roofing can climb up a ladder and look at the shingles from a closer vantage point. A roof that is more than 20 years old is likely to have some missing shingles that came loose and blew away. Some have developed cracks. Others are curling up at the edges. There may be signs of warping. Obvious places where the protective granules have worn off may be visible.
Being Proactive Before Leaks Develop
Being proactive and having the shingles replaced by a roofing contractor in Tulsa, OK, before leaks develop prevents damage inside the home. Often, water leaking through a roof goes unnoticed for a long time because the signs are hidden in an attic or a seldom-used closet. In addition, a certain amount of rainwater can be soaked up by insulation and not hit the ceiling or run down a wall.
A new roof protects the interior of the home from the destructive effects of rainwater leaking into the building. It also can vastly improve the aesthetics of the building. Roof installation can be completed by the contractor ARRT Construction, LLC.
