We want to shed light on the potential dangers of missing roof shingles and emphasize how we, as your trusted contractor, can guide you through the insurance process to address these concerns effectively.

Water Intrusion: Missing shingles create vulnerable spots on your roof where water can penetrate. Over time, this can lead to leaks that damage your home’s interior, insulation, and even electrical systems.

Mold and Mildew: Moisture from roof leaks can foster the growth of mold and mildew in your attic and on your ceilings. These can pose health risks to your family and require extensive remediation.

Reduced Energy Efficiency: Gaps in your roof’s protective barrier can allow warm or cool air to escape, reducing the energy efficiency of your home and increasing utility costs.

Decreased Property Value: A damaged roof with missing shingles can significantly reduce your property’s value and curb appeal, affecting its resale potential.

Thorough Assessment: We will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your roof to identify missing shingles and assess the extent of the damage.

Documentation: Our team will provide detailed documentation of the missing shingles and related damage, which is essential for your insurance claim.

Scattered wind creasing is a type of damage that occurs when high winds lift and crease individual shingles on your roof. While this damage may not appear immediately severe, it can lead to several significant issues over time:

Reduced Energy Efficiency: Damaged shingles can compromise your roof’s ability to insulate your home, leading to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.

Mold and Rot: Moisture from leaks can create the perfect environment for mold and wood rot to thrive in your attic and structural components, potentially jeopardizing your family’s health and safety.

Decreased Property Value: Roof damage can significantly reduce your property’s value and curb appeal, making it less attractive to potential buyers.

Thorough Inspection: Our experienced team will conduct a detailed inspection of your roof to identify scattered wind creasing and assess the extent of the damage.

Documentation: We will provide precise documentation of the creased shingles and any related damage, essential for your insurance claim.

Blistering

Defeating Blistering: Empire Exteriors' Roofing Solutions for Lasting Protection

Blistering on a roof refers to the formation of bubbles or raised areas on the surface of the roofing material, typically asphalt shingles. These blisters are usually filled with air or moisture, and they can range in size from small, barely noticeable bubbles to larger, more pronounced ones. 

Moisture Infiltration: Moisture can infiltrate the roofing system through poor installation, damaged shingles, or inadequate ventilation. When this moisture gets trapped under the shingle surface, it can lead to blister formation.

Poor Roof Ventilation: Inadequate ventilation in the attic or roof space can cause heat and moisture buildup, which can contribute to blistering.

Manufacturing Defects: Sometimes, blistering can be the result of manufacturing defects in the roofing materials themselves.

Reduced Roof Lifespan: Blisters can weaken the roofing material and reduce its lifespan. Over time, the blisters can lead to premature roof failure.

Increased Energy Costs: Blistered roofs can result in poor insulation and ventilation, causing increased energy costs to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Aesthetics: Blisters are unsightly and can negatively affect the curb appeal and value of your property.

Water Damage: If the blisters rupture or pop, they can allow water to penetrate the roofing system, leading to leaks, water damage to the interior of the building, and potential mold growth.

Thorough Inspection: Our experienced team will conduct a detailed inspection of your roof to identify scattered wind creasing and assess the extent of the damage.

Documentation: We will provide precise documentation of the creased shingles and any related damage, essential for your insurance claim.

Insurance Claim Assistance: We will guide you through the entire insurance claim process, from filing the claim to supplying accurate estimates and advocating for fair compensation.

Expert Repairs: Once your insurance claim is approved, we will promptly and professionally repair or replace the damaged shingles and any other affected roofing components to restore the integrity of your roof.

Preventive Measures: To minimize the risk of future damage, we can recommend maintenance practices and, if necessary, upgrades to more durable roofing materials.
