Q&A
What causes ridge cap damage on Festus roofs, and how do you fix it?
In Festus, ridge cap damage is often caused by high winds, temperature fluctuations, and aging sealant. The ridge cap is a critical seal along the peak of your roof. We fix it by carefully removing the damaged caps, inspecting the underlying decking, and installing new, properly sealed caps with high-grade materials to withstand our local weather, preventing leaks and heat loss.
I'm finding black granules in my gutters. Is this a serious problem for my Festus home?
Finding some granules is normal as shingles age, but excessive loss is a common issue here that signals advanced wear. Those granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. Significant loss can lead to faster deterioration and leaks. We'll inspect your roof to determine if the loss is within expected wear or if repair or replacement is needed to safeguard your home.
As a Festus homeowner, how can I tell if my roof needs repair or a full replacement?
The decision often hinges on the extent of issues like ridge cap damage and granule loss. We recommend a professional inspection. Generally, if damage is isolated (like a few damaged ridge caps), repair is sufficient. However, widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or damage across over 30% of the roof surface often indicates replacement is the more cost-effective, long-term solution for Festus homes.
