Blisters on asphalt roofs shouldn’t be a problem if the granules on the shingles remain intact. However, if these blisters pop, the granules can loosen and fall off, exposing the roof to the elements. In time, the affected areas can experience leaks and damage.
Metal roofs have become popular among homeowners due to their versatility and durability. Some metal roofs even have the appearance of traditional roofing materials, such as tile.
Depending on the extent of the damage, age of the roof and other factors, your roof is bound to be repaired or replaced at some point. Texas Traditions Roofing, one of the top local residential and commercial roofing contractors, discusses the differences between these two projects.
GAF’s Timberline® Cool Series® Shingles make a sound, long-term roofing investment. They feature granules that have high reflective properties, which means they are capable of withstanding the intense heat coming from the sun. They block most of the solar radiation, meaning Cool Series Shingles don’t transmit heat to the rest of the home. This results in a comfortable home, bigger savings and increased energy efficiency.
Roof damage is a problem you can’t just brush under the rug. Instead, it’s something you need to address right away. Some people, however, are intimidated by the roof replacement process, but this shouldn’t be the case. With adequate preparation, they can overcome the challenges that come with this endeavor.
