Roof Shingles Replacements

Roof shingles are the fundamental part of your roof, designed to form a protective barrier against water, snow, and other environmental elements. Shingles come in various forms, including asphalt, wood, metal, and other natural and synthetic materials.

Each of these materials ages at different rates and reveals varying signs of degradation. However, most materials share signs of the need for roof shingle replacements. Paying attention to these early warning signs is the best way to avoid potentially costly damage to your home’s ceilings, walls, and insulation.

Common warning signs you need roof shingles replacement include:

Age: Many shingles, including the most common shingle asphalt, have a lifespan of around 20-25 years. Older shingles may become brittle, lose granules, and be less effective at protecting your home.

Wear and Tear: Exposure to weather conditions can cause wear and tear on shingles and lead to issues like curling, cracking, and loss of granules.

Damage: The most obvious sign you may need roof shingles replacement is visible physical damage from hail, fallen branches, or other impacts. Since damaged shingles may not provide a watertight seal, they must be replaced to prevent leaks.

Leaks: Roof leaks are often visible inside your home and should be fixed immediately to avoid water damage, mold growth, and structural issues.

Moss and Algae Growth: The presence of moss or algae on shingles may reveal excessive moisture retention, which can accelerate the deterioration of shingles and lead to rot.

Roof Shingles Replacements: Our Process

Philadelphia Roofworks Construction Co.'s roof shingle replacement process involves careful planning, preparation, and execution. Specific steps and details of the process may vary based on the type of shingles, local building codes, and the unique characteristics of your roof.

Assessment and Planning

As a first step, we inspect your roof and assess the extent of the damage or wear on the existing shingles. If replacements are necessary, we will discuss your preferred replacement shingles and choose the appropriate materials, colors, and styles, including possible roof coatings.

Old Shingle Removal

Once we have decided on the details of your project and procured the necessary materials and permits, we will remove the existing shingles and any underlayment or damaged decking. This step is crucial to ensure a clean and stable surface for the new shingles.

Roof Deck Inspection

We carefully inspect the roof deck for any signs of damage or rot and replace any damaged decking to ensure a solid foundation for the new shingles.

Underlayment and Flashing Installation

Before the shingles, we install a new underlayment to protect against water infiltration and flashing around roof penetrations, valleys, and other vulnerable areas.

Shingle Installation:

We install all new shingles according to the manufacturer's guidelines and industry best practices, following a specific pattern and overlap to ensure proper water drainage.

Ventilation and Ridge Cap Installation:

After installing shingles, we ensure proper ventilation components, such as vents and ridge caps, for the attic space.

Cleanup and Inspection

After our installation, we remove debris and clean the work area, responsibly disposing of old shingles and other materials. We then conduct a final roof inspection to ensure the installation meets quality standards and complies with local building codes.
