There are three basic categories worth mentioning for asphalt shingles: Fibreglass laminated shingles (entry-level). 3-tab traditional (medium grade or architectural) and designer or premium grade (3 ply, heavy weight). The difference between each entry point is the amount of asphalt increase along with the life expectancy of the shingle. Asphalt shingles have a life expectancy of approximately 25 years, depending on quality of shingle. Weather and environmental conditions can affect the overall lifespan of your roof, so keep in mind these top signs of needing repairs and replacement. 1. Missing Granules. When looking at your roof from the ground, look for off colour spotting. Another way to tell if your shingles are losing granules is by cleaning the gutters. If granules are falling, you will find large amounts in the gutters. Missing granules will not cause water issues however the sun UV rays will be more exposed to the shingle and wear it out faster. 2. Curling Shingles. Curled shingles are one of the easiest indicators of a roof needing repair. When shingles curl, it is a result of drying and shrinking over time. If the shingles are not replaced, they will blow away in wind storms and can lead to bigger problems. The only way to fix this issue is by replacing the area with curled shingles. If it is throughout the entire roof surface, it is time to replace the whole roof. 3. Blown off shingles Obviously the shingles belong on your roof, if you start seeing them in the garden or yard it's time to replace your roof. |

Roof DIY
DIY with regards to your own roof may seem like a good idea to save some cash but make sure you consider the following aspects before climbing the ladder.
Safety equipment: If you are not accustomed to being on a roof you will definitely want to have guard rails, fall protection equipment and ensure your ladders and scaffolds are in good condition and position before starting. You will also want to invest in some good knee pads, boots and helmets.
Skills vs Time: Consider this, if you fall off your roof or even twist your ankle or knee, how much time will you need to take off from your full-time job to recoup? If everything goes well, you may save around $3000. If the job takes a turn for the worst, it could end up costing you time off work PLUS added expenses of a trained crew coming in to fix and finish what you started.
Materials: Assuming you do not have contractor accounts set up, you will be paying full price for materials and equipment rentals like Genie Booms to load.
Weather: The weather can be unpredictable. Don't underestimate the danger behind morning dew, high winds and sun stroke. If you do not have an ideal weather forecast on the days you plan to climb, postpone install or call in the professionals.
Do your Research: Improperly installed shingles can cost thousands of dollars in water leaks, insect infestations and mold. Do not take short cuts.
Lastly, roofing is an intense activity. Plan to take it easy several days afterwards as your back, knees and finger tips will be tired and sore.
