Protect Your Texas’ Home: Spotting Missing Shingles

A strong roof is one of the most important elements of a property, especially in Texas, where weather can flip from scorching heat to heavy rain or even tornadoes in just a matter of hours. While missing asphalt shingles might not seem like a big deal at first, they will eventually lead to serious and expensive problems.

With years of experience, Elevation Roofing & Restoration can help you catch early signs of missing shingles to keep your home, family, and investment safe.

• Let’s walk through some easy ways to tell if your roof has missing shingles:
  Texas weather can be rough on roofs, and high winds can rip asphalt shingles off. If you find pieces of shingles or asphalt around your yard, it's probably a sign of potential damage.
  
  
• Missing shingles often lead to water issues. If you notice dark spots, water dripping from the ceiling, algae growth, or even a musty smell, these could be signs that water is getting into places where it shouldn't.
  
  
• Roof shingles are covered in little granules that help protect them from the sun and the elements. Noticing granules on your roof or gutters might mean your shingles are more likely to go missing.
  
  
• While roofing shingles typically last from 20 to 30 years, extreme weather can shorten the average lifespan of roofing systems. If your roof is getting older, don't forget about periodic inspections and maintenance.
  
  

We know it might be tempting to climb up a ladder and inspect the roof yourself, but it’s not worth the risk. Heights and roofing inspections can be dangerous, so leave it to the professionals.
