How to Tell If You Need Your Residential Roof Replaced

How to Tell If You Need Your Residential Roof Replaced

The roof is the essential component of any building. It adds completion to beautiful home design as well as offers complete protection from the outside elements. Over time, your roof may show signs of wear and tear. If you address the problem early on, you’ll minimize the repair and keep the maintenance costs low. How do you know if you have a worn out roof? Intelligent Design offers complete roofing inspection. We can assess your roof and identify any issues that may arise. Below are the five main points we evaluate.

1. Water Damage

We keep an eye out for signs of moisture damage throughout your home or office building. Damp spots may appear on the ceiling. We may notice water spots forming on walls from moisture that is seeping in. Small holes in the roof contribute to the build-up of attic and wall moisture. This can cause significant damage to the building’s structure, as well as mold build-up.

2. The Sun Peeking Through the Attic

If you see the light coming in through the attic or the roof, the decking may be cracking or pulling apart. We can walk through the attic to spot any openings in the roof. Where there are openings, there are sure to be air and water leaks.

3. Cracked or Blistered Paint

If you notice the paint on your building is looking excessively cracked or peeling in no small degree, it’s time for a roof inspection. This is a sign of roof failure that can appear on either interior or exterior paint, especially around the roof line. Damaged paint can also be evidence of a buildup of moisture as a result of poor attic ventilation.

4. Cracked or Curling Shingles

Asphalt shingles usually come with a 15-20 year warranty. After that, a roofing company will need to perform an inspection of the roof. One of the most common issues we look for are cracked or curling shingles. The shingles could be damaged by weather, or they could just be getting old. Dry shingles that are brittle enough to break upon touching are also a hidden sign of roof failure and indicate your shingles need to be replaced soon.

5. Overflowing Gutters.

If you notice water is dripping down the sides of the gutters, it’s a clear sign we need to replace or clean out the gutters. We can get on top of the roof to assess the overall condition of the gutter system. If the gutters need to be replaced, we recommend investing in seamless gutters with gutter guards. Guards will keep your gutters from overflowing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Stan and Alex climb our home and do a very thorough inspection of the hail damage on the roof and steel siding.  They were honest and upfront and told me that we had little to no damage which was confirmed by the insurance adjuster.  I admire their integrity and value their professional approach.  They documented everything and left me a folder full of data to compare to if I was to get another storm.  I will be calling them once that happens!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I toured the Intelligent Design facility in Maple Grove, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Seeing their full operation, including the paint shop and cabinet shop, really highlights the quality and craftsmanship they pour into every detail. What truly sets them apart, though, is the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with Stan (who co-owns the business with his wife) and Val, one of the project managers. They are incredibly solid, professional, and genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. I would definitely use them for my own future projects and highly recommend them for yours as well. If you’re looking for a professional team that delivers top-tier results with a personal touch, this is the place!
