ColoRADo is an outstanding state to live in, but like most areas, it has its fair share of challenges too. We see some brutal weather at times that creates a substantial amount of wear and tear on your home, and especially your roof that Thornton Roof Repair experts recognize and repair. Here are a few examples of damage that a roof will likely experience at some point in time from the Colorado climate.
Wind Damage
Vigorous winds can blow roofing materials right off of a home or building. Shingles aren’t the only part of a roofing system that can be damaged, but also the felt and sheathing below that helps keep the water out of your home. Trees that are near and looming above your roof can cause damage upon impact if limbs fall directly onto it. Have a Thornton Roofer at least once each year to know that there is no remaining damage left over from the wind.
Water Damage
Heavy rains that create a large amount of roof runoff can damage your gutters, downspouts, and eaves if they are more powerful than the system can handle. “The additional water is going to put a lot of added stress on your roofs flashing, which is what we apply over joints and junctions to inhibit water from penetrating and causing damage”, says a Thornton Roofing Contractor.
Hail Storms
Hail is well known to break skylights and windows on top of causing damage to asphalt shingles. Hailstorms are remarkably hard on a rooftop and diminish the overall strength and lifespan. An inspection should be completed after a hailstorm regardless of the roofing system installed.
Professional Inspection
It is very common for the untrained eye to miss minor problems, even if you have the ability to reach your roof to execute a visual evaluation. Do not grant the Colorado weather to damage your home or commercial property.
