Like most homeowners, you might not be thinking about the roof over your head. But when you suddenly notice a leak on your ceiling, don’t think twice about calling in a roof repair contractor to address the issue. Otherwise, you’ll let the leaking water damage other parts of your roof, which can lead to more costly repairs.

Many flat roofing systems are more than just simple and utilitarian. They serve to protect your commercial property from rain, snow, hail, UV rays and other elements. A well-built flat roofing system should also maintain its watertight integrity for it to be effective in keeping its interiors dry. 

Shingle blow-off is a common problem for many residential roofs, and it’s usually addressed during routine maintenance. But the extent of the damage determines whether a simple repair is needed or a full replacement should be done to save your roof. Either way, your roof should be repaired immediately when dealing with shingle blow-offs. Our roofing and gutter installation experts at Patriot Roofing LLC share their insight.

Your roof’s shingles are essentially made by adhering asphalt granules to a shingle substrate. This layer of granular material provides a layer that protects your roof from UV rays, sunlight and other weather elements. You can expect some granule loss from your shingles as part of its normal wear and tear, but there are some cases when this happens prematurely or when the shingles are losing too many granules.
