Common Causes of Shingle Damage

Weather-related damage accounts for approximately 70% of all residential roofing repair needs across the northeastern United States. High winds can lift and tear shingles, creating vulnerable spots where water can penetrate the underlying roof deck. Hail impacts leave distinctive circular impressions that compromise the protective granular surface, while ice dams form along roof edges during winter months, forcing moisture beneath shingle layers. Our experience serving the Milford, PA and surrounding areas has given us extensive knowledge of local weather patterns and their specific effects on asphalt shingle roofs.

Beyond weather impacts, biological growth presents another significant challenge for shingle roofs. Algae, moss, and lichen gradually deteriorate shingle materials, creating dark streaks and reducing the roof’s ability to reflect sunlight effectively. Tree branches rubbing against roof surfaces cause premature wear, while accumulated debris in valleys and around penetrations traps moisture that accelerates deterioration. Our comprehensive approach to shingles roof repair addresses these issues while implementing preventive measures to extend your roof’s service life.

Our Repair Process and Methodology

When you contact Summit Exteriors for asphalt shingle roof repair, we begin with a detailed inspection that documents all areas requiring attention. Our technicians photograph damage points, measure affected areas, and assess the condition of underlying components including decking, underlayment, and flashing systems. This thorough evaluation ensures accurate repair recommendations and helps identify potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed until they cause significant problems.

The repair process itself involves carefully removing damaged shingles while preserving surrounding materials whenever possible. We match replacement shingles to your existing roof’s color and style, maintaining aesthetic consistency across the entire surface. Our shingle installation techniques follow manufacturer specifications precisely, ensuring proper overlap, nail placement, and sealant application. Each repair includes inspection and replacement of damaged underlayment, installation of ice and water shield in vulnerable areas, and verification that all flashings create watertight seals around roof penetrations.

Repair Versus Replacement Considerations

Determining whether to repair or replace roof shingles requires careful analysis of multiple factors. Age plays a crucial role, as asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years depending on quality and environmental conditions. When damage affects less than 30% of the total roof area and the remaining shingles show minimal wear, targeted repairs often provide cost-effective solutions. However, widespread deterioration, multiple leak locations, or structural concerns may indicate that complete shingle roof replacement offers better long-term value.

Our assessment process includes:

• Damage extent evaluation measuring affected square footage and determining repair feasibility
• Cost-benefit analysis comparing repair expenses against replacement investment
• Future performance projections estimating remaining service life after repairs
• Energy efficiency considerations evaluating potential savings from modern shingle technologies
• Warranty implications understanding how repairs affect existing coverage

Advanced Repair Techniques and Materials

Modern shingle repair techniques incorporate advanced materials and methods that significantly improve repair durability and performance. Synthetic underlayments provide superior moisture protection compared to traditional felt paper, while self-adhering membranes create impermeable barriers in critical areas. We utilize high-performance sealants specifically formulated for roofing applications, ensuring long-lasting adhesion despite temperature fluctuations and UV exposure.

Our customer-focused approach means we explain each repair step, helping you understand exactly what work we’re performing and why it’s necessary. This transparency builds trust and ensures you’re fully informed about your roofing investment.
