Keeping a sturdier and healthier roof means always being on the lookout for anything that can compromise its performance. A common one would be wind damage, which can loosen your shingles–leaving your roof vulnerable to leaks–and tear them off completely. But not everything you hear about wind roof damage is true. Roofer Chicks®, the trusted roof repairs company in the area, discusses and debunks a few misconceptions about this common issue.
- “Wind damage is often invisible.” Not exactly–wind damage on your roofing system is fairly noticeable once you know what to look for. A slight rippling in the normally clean and cohesive appearance of your asphalt shingles may suggest wind damage. Other indications may include tears, creases, and folds in the roofing material. That said, the simplest and most accurate way to determine whether your system has suffered wind damage is a professional roof inspection from a premier company like Roofer Chicks®.
- “Wind damage is the only reason for poor shingle adhesion.” Strong winds do cause poor adhesion in shingles–but not all the time. In most cases, the reason your asphalt shingles are too frail to resist high winds in the first place is because they are already compromised by poor installation. For this reason, make sure to work with a dependable roofing company that has the extensive training and expertise to install your shingles perfectly right the first time.
- “Wind damage is unpreventable.” With the right considerations, you’ll find that wind damage on roofing is actually simple to avoid. You can, for example, invest in higher quality roofing materials, such as the GAF® Architectural and Designer Shingles offered by Roofer Chicks®. With Advanced Protection Technology, these options allow for greater resistance against wind and impact damage, keeping your roof safe and structurally intact for longer.
