You bought your home or replaced your roof less than a decade ago. You expected at least 20 to 30 years of worry-free protection. But suddenly, you spot a water stain on the ceiling or notice shingles curling in the driveway. It’s an incredibly frustrating situation. How can a relatively new roof fail?

UV radiation acts like slow-moving sandpaper on a roof. By May, our teams look for "alligatoring" or brittleness in the membrane. Catching these signs early allows for a simple coating or patch rather than a costly mid-summer emergency replacement.

Filing a roof insurance claim isn’t the first step. It’s a decision you make after you understand what’s actually going on.
