Firstly, some of your shingles may be damaged over time by harsh external conditions they protect you from. Surely, it’s normal to see damaged or missing shingles if your roof is particularly old, as it must put up with:

- High winds that can pry them loose.
- Granules that can wear off shingles over time.
- Pests that may break through your roof.
- Hail that dent or leave divots on your roof.

Secondly, we have our fair share of storms down here in the Southern Coastal States. Undoubtedly, these storms can wear down your roof over time, with high winds throwing around tree branches and creating nasty punctures. Thus, these repairs are more elaborate than just putting down a shingle or two and are best done by professionals.

Third, sealant is the material used around the edges of skylights, which can wear down over time in the heat. For instance, if the sealant becomes aged and cracked, then it would create a leak and wouldn't keep moisture outside. It’s better to be safe and get a roofing professional to take a look. Even if you feel comfortable to climb up on your roof to re-caulk new tar on the damaged area.

Lastly, roof ventilation can often be damaged by harsh storm conditions such as hail or intense winds. In that case, it’s a common practice in the roofing industry to install Turtle Vents. To install them it requires roofers to cut into the roof decking, which can lead to leaks, poor air circulation and heat buildup.

Undoubtedly, we go beyond the industry standard by installing Cobra Ridge Ventilation systems. Thus, providing effective top ventilation for the entire roof ridge length. Ask your roofing professional more about these vent systems and make your roof a Superior One.
