Emergency Roofing Repair in Orlando, FL 32801 - Roofing 10X

Granule loss in Orlando is often accelerated by our intense sun, UV exposure, and occasional hail. These granules protect the asphalt shingles from the elements. While some loss over time is normal, significant or sudden loss can expose the underlying mat to sun damage and reduce your roof's lifespan. It's a sign your shingles are aging and may need professional evaluation to prevent leaks, especially before our rainy season hits.

In Orlando, flashing—the metal strips sealing roof joints—commonly fails due to corrosion from humidity, thermal expansion/contraction in the heat, and improper installation. Failure at chimneys, vents, and valleys is a leading cause of leaks during our heavy downpours. We repair it by carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the area, and installing new, corrosion-resistant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing materials to ensure a tight, durable seal.

Distinguishing between wear and storm damage is crucial for insurance claims. General wear, like uniform granule loss, happens gradually. Storm damage from wind or hail often shows a random pattern of missing granules, dents on soft metals, or cracked shingles in specific areas. After any significant Orlando storm, we recommend a professional inspection to document the cause accurately, which can help you navigate the insurance process if repair or replacement is needed.
