Common Problems

Buckling, Curling, & Granule Loss on Shingles
This can be caused by poor ventilation or a manufacturer defect.  However, depending on the age of your roof, it may just be caused by ageing and weathering.  This should be addressed as soon as possible, because if it is a manufacturer defect, the sooner you get the paper work in, the more money you should be able to recover from your warranty.  If you neglect this problem, it could lead to leaks and other serious problems.

Algae Streaks
This is discoloration on many roofs (black streaks).  These streaks are caused by airborne algae that build up on your shingles.  Algae streaks are a common problem in Minnesota due to the weather here, which creates an optimal atmosphere for algae to thrive in.

Rotting Wood or a Sagging Roof
Rotting fascia board and sagging in your roof is a clear indication that you have a leak in your roof and have had that leak for a period of time.  It is important that you get this problem fixed immediately so you can reduce the cost of the project.  If left undone, the leak will cause more and more damage.

Missing Shingles
Missing shingles can be caused by a few different things including: improper installation, weather, or decay. If you ignore this problem, it may cause leaks and other shingles to blow away.

Lack of Ventilation
Proper ventilation in your roof is very important!  Without a good ventilation system, your shingles may curl, buckle, or blister.  It can also result in your manufacturer warranty to be void.  Ventilation allows your attic to breathe; replacing hot, moist, stale air with cool, dry, fresh air.  You want cool, dry, fresh air circulating through your attic, not humid, moist, stale air.  A good ventilation system can lower your energy bill.  Bad ventilation can cause your attic to collect moisture and in turn make it seem like you have a leak which can damage walls and ceilings.  And in severe cases, bad ventilation causes mold to grow. 
Improper ventilation can reduce the life of your shingles by 5 to 10 years!!!
