You must be wondering how to figure out whether the shingle roof needs repairing or replacement? You may go through the following warning signs to know more:
Curling of Shingles: Whether it is curling of shingles or clawing both are warning signs that the roof system is becoming old and due to excessive heat it is getting damaged. When shingle curled up, there are high chances of ice damage and wind uplift. Shingles turn into rigid and it becomes easy to break it as well as lose tab edges.
Bare points or Missing shingles: When downspouts are poorly placed, or there is lack of eavestrough, or even poorly valley drainage design on a second floor can become the reason for a waterfall effect and its outcome is that it washes away granules after some passage of time. When a roof system gets older or because of physical damage, it may cause bare spaces along with granules loss. When these protective granules start losing from a shingle, the shingle starts to get harden due to exposure to sun and heat. Granule loss will speed up aging and decay of shingle and can also give a place for water to enter.
