Weema Roofing & Siding | Roofing Services in Thompson, OH 44086

Common signs in our area include missing, cracked, or curled shingles, especially along roof edges and ridges where wind uplift is strongest. You might also find granules or pieces of shingle in your gutters or on the ground after a storm. Even if shingles aren't missing, they can be 'lifted' or loosened, compromising the roof's seal. We recommend a professional inspection after significant winds to identify hidden damage before it leads to leaks.

Granule loss is a frequent issue we see on Thompson roofs, often accelerated by severe weather and aging. Some granule loss is normal as shingles age, but excessive loss, often seen as bare spots on shingles or granules accumulating in gutters, exposes the asphalt underlayer to UV rays, causing rapid deterioration. This can significantly shorten your roof's lifespan. We can assess whether the loss is within normal bounds or indicates a need for repair or replacement to prevent water damage.

For our local climate, which subjects roofs to wind and temperature swings, we recommend impact-resistant shingles with strong wind warranties (often Class 4 rated) and proper installation techniques, including enhanced nail patterns and sealing. For homes with recurring wind issues, we might suggest a synthetic underlayment for an extra layer of protection. Our goal is to install a roof system that's not just a repair but a long-term defense against the specific weather patterns we experience in Thompson.
