A roof that is in good shape will offer reliable protection from the elements and contribute to increased curb appeal. Contact a residential roofing contractor immediately if you notice problems with this part of your home. Shingle cracking and splitting — which are two different issues — are common indicators that it’s time for a roof replacement.
Continue reading to find out the difference between shingle cracking and splitting.
Volatiles are chemicals that make asphalt shingles flexible and waterproof. Over time, they can wear off due to evaporation. As a result, the shingles will shrink and crack on the surface. However, if cracking occurs on a new roof, the mat or the shingles could be of poor quality.
You can easily avoid early roof failure by investing in professional residential roofing services. At Dior Construction, we install top-grade roofing products from industry leader GAF. As a GAF-certified roofer, we offer attractive, durable and long-lasting shingles.
Certain building materials expand and contract with temperature changes. Shingles contract when it’s cold and expand when it gets warmer. The joints underneath them increase when they expand. Then, the joints decrease when they contract. The constant thermal movement will eventually deteriorate the adhesives on the upper surface of the shingles. After some time, you will notice splits forming on your roof.
Regular inspections can help detect small roofing issues before they turn into costly repairs. Routine maintenance can keep your roof in good shape and prolong its life span. Moreover, only trust experienced professionals with your roofing needs.
