Warning Signs
Roswell Roofing
Split, torn or missing shingles? Deteriorated flashing? Mold and mildew in the attic? All are warning signs of ongoing or potential roof damage and should never be ignored. Hiring a competent Roswell roofer can be intimidating unless you follow your friends and neighbors’ example and call Cornerstone Roofing whenever warning signs of roof damage needing repair appear. We’ll carefully inspect for evidence of leaks, cracked or broken tiles, and shingles that are curled and brittle.
Shingles and other roofing materials must give heavy-duty protection, day after day, year after year. Pounding rains, ferocious winds and penetrating hailstones all take their toll on the roof surface. A careful inspection after any storm for new damage is a wise decision for Sandy Springs homeowners concerned about protecting what is oftentimes a person’s biggest investment: the value of their home.

Few materials last forever and roof flashing, while durable, doesn’t either. Frayed material, insufficient ply, and tiny holes that develop over time allow rain and wind to get underneath the roofing covering, loosening more nails and adhesives as time goes on, creating even bigger problems.
Blocked rain gutters can cause untold trouble and routine maintenance should not be neglected. When you need to replace or install new rain gutter, we recommend LeafX clean gutter systems. Made of 100% .024 aluminum, fasteners are recessed for a seamless appearance and a wide range of color choices makes it easy to match or complement existing colors.
Roof Damage Warning Signs
Evidence of pooling water can undermine roof supports and mold, mildew, fungus, moss soon find a friendly environment in which to thrive. Inadequate ventilation in the attic also causes mold, usually detected by an odor of musty air and streaks of blackened mildew growing on roof support surfaces. The spores that are released into the air create major health problems, especially for those with lung and compromised breathing conditions. The incidences of colds and allergic reactions increase and many people experience skin conditions when exposed to the various molds and mildews that thrive in dark, humid habitats.
When you notice damage to your roof, take it as a warning sign and call Cornerstone Roofing for a Roswell free roofing estimate.
