Understanding Shingle Roof Damage and When Repairs Are Needed

Shingle roofs protect your home year-round but endure constant wear from weather, UV rays, and time. At New Old Remodeling, we inspect thousands of roofs across Greater Charlotte Area annually, witnessing how small issues can quickly turn into costly problems when ignored.

Common signs your shingle roof needs repair include:

• Missing or broken shingles
• Granules collecting in gutters
• Daylight visible through roof boards
• Sagging roof areas
• Water stains on interior ceilings or walls

Severe weather especially affects shingle condition. After storms in Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, and Lake Norman Area, NC, we often find:

• Wind damage lifting or tearing shingles
• Hail dents compromising the protective granule layer

Even without storms, shingles deteriorate naturally over 20-30 years. Factors like tree coverage, roof pitch, and ventilation can shorten their lifespan. Our mission at New Old Remodeling is to help you rediscover the love you once had for your home through superior craftsmanship and personalized planning.

Our Comprehensive Shingle Repair Process

When we assess your roof, we look beyond visible damage:

• Inspect shingles and underlying structure
• Check ventilation and moisture intrusion signs
• Examine flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys

For localized damage, we:

• Remove compromised shingles
• Inspect underlayment and decking
• Replace any moisture-damaged plywood decking
• Install new underlayment as needed
• Fit matching shingles to blend with your existing roof

We focus repairs only where necessary, salvaging undamaged materials to cut costs without cutting corners.
