Asphalt shingles offer excellent protection from both heavy rain and extreme heat, making them a budget-friendly roofing choice with a lifespan of 20-30 years or more. However, if you've purchased a home with a roof that's already 10-15 years old, it may be out of warranty and halfway through its life expectancy.

Common issues with aging roofs include leaks from failing vent pipe collars, skylight gaskets, or improper installation. Wind damage can also be a sign that the shingles' adhesive sealant is failing. It's important to note that not all wind damage is age-related; it can also occur if surrounding shingles were not properly sealed after a repair.

If you notice any of these problems, don't worry. A qualified roof repair specialist can identify and correct these common issues, ensuring your roof remains leak-free for years to come.
