Missing Shingles - If your shingles are dry or break when touched, they are in absolute need of replacing.

Water Damage - If you've just had a big storm or wind driven rain, make sure your attic doesn't show signs of leaking. Over time, water damage can cause water to enter the home if shingles aren't attached correctly or if they have outlived their usefulness. As always, feel free to contact us for a roof inspection. 4. Peeling Paint - If paint is starting to peel off of the walls in your home, the cause may very well be trapped moisture due to high temperature or humidity from poor attic ventilation. Again, this could be caused by water damage, missing shingles, or a number of other things. 5. Mold on Ceiling - If you're seeing mold in your home, it could be caused by faulty shingle underlayment on the roof that is allowing water into the house. Again, if you see this do not hesitate to contact Roofing Corpus Christi for a free instant quote on a roof replacement. 6. Dark Spot on Roof - Dark spots on the roof could mean vegetation, algea growth, fungus, or mold. Because of this, the protective granules on the shingles may be lost and need to be replaced. |
