Shingle roofs should really carry a roof maintenance plan in order to maximize the lifespan. However, most Fort Worth homeowners do not carry a plan for their shingle roof, and most also don’t pay much attention to the condition of the roof. This is a recipe for problems to occur, thankfully many shingle roof repairs aren’t very expensive and if caught in time can avoid needing a replacement.

There is a crucial role that flashing plays to a well-maintained roofing system. The purpose is to keep the water away from the deck and onto the shingles for correct drainage. Poor flashing installations can be major problems and necessitate repairs and at times even replacements.
Most people don’t know that even one shingle that is cracked or damaged can lead to roof leak. And when hail storms blow through many shingles in one storm can be damaged.
Water standing for two days after rainfall can end up being quite a problem. This often happens where the flat roof meets a pitch.
The vallied areas common to most roofs are spots that tend to accumulate debris, normally this is due to a messed up flashing installation. If enough debris builds up it can cause water to build up under the shingles resulting in a leak.
Much like a damaged shingle, a single missing one can lead to a roof leak. High velocity winds and hail are often culprits to missing shingles.
So many homeowners waste thousands of dollars in vain, trying to repair parts of the roof to avoid what they didn’t realize was inevitable, which is replacing the roof. If the roof is old, unless the repair is very minor, like say one or two missing shingles, quite often it is wasted money. As the roof will soon enough need to be replaced anyway. So how can you tell if you’re at that point, and a repair would just be a waste?
