Residential Roofing Repair

Ensuring that your home has a sturdy and damage-free roof is crucial. Your home is your biggest asset, so it needs to be cared for properly. At Brian Elder Roofing, we provide top-notch roofing repairs and maintenance services to ensure your roof is always in excellent condition. 

Repairing roof damage at the first sign of deterioration, erosion, or corrosion is vital. Timely detection can prevent additional damage that could lead to detrimental structural damage inside your home. At Brian Elder Roofing, with over ten years of industry experience, we possess the knowledge and expertise to quickly identify the causes of your roof damage, make the necessary repairs, and guide you on how to prevent any future damage during our maintenance inspections. 

If your roof is damaged, we will fix your issues quickly and efficiently. Here are a few signs that your roof may need repairs: 

Shingle Repair

If your shingles are not installed properly, there is a chance that water can get underneath them, which will rot the wood holding up your roof. Suppose your wood rots or warps, the cost of this repair increases significantly. The potential for your roof collapsing due to wood rot is one of the main reasons you should get your roof repaired at the first sign of damage. Some of the damage you could find associated with shingle repair includes: 

Missing Shingles: After a heavy windstorm or storm with hail, you may want to contact us to ensure you are not missing any shingles. Although, in some cases, the shingles may be clearly lying on your lawn. Do not fret if you see shingles on your property. We can easily and quickly replace any missing shingles. 

Broken Shingles: Broken shingles indicate a sure sign of roof damage, and these shingles are letting water enter below the shingles. This repair will also need prompt attention before it causes the wood underneath the shingle to rot or warp.  

Curled Shingles: Your shingles may begin to bend upward or downward as they age. Unfortunately, this also allows water to penetrate the wood below and calls for immediate replacement. 

Cracked Shingles: During the summer months, when our Tennessee temperatures reach highs, typically over one hundred degrees, “thermal splitting” or cracked shingles occur. Yet again, when shingles start breaking, it leaves a path for water to enter under the shingle. 

Roof Leak Repair 

Some of the most obvious signs that your roof is leaking and needs repair include the following: 

  • Water running down the walls or the walls appearing to bubble under your paint job.  
  • Standing water on the floor or in your garage and attic. 
  • The ceiling has dark spots that may feel damp. 
  • Water stains or mold in the attic. Even if you do not see puddles of water, that does not mean there is not a leak in your attic or between your walls. 

    If you spot any signs of leaks or issues with your shingles, it is time to contact Brian Elder Roofing to repair your roof. It is best to let our professional roofing team handle the maintenance and care of your roof. It can be perilous for you to climb on your roof, even to check for missing shingles. Additionally, remember that the longer you wait, the more expensive the repair could be, and you could even find yourself needing an entirely new roof.

    Commercial Roofing Repair & Replacement

    If you are a business owner, you understand the importance of having a secure office or building. It is crucial to prioritize keeping your roof in decent shape among all the maintenance requirements. Any signs of damage, including leaks or ceiling stains, create a negative impression on customers and indicate that it may be time for a roof repair or replacement soon.

To avoid such situations, Brian Elder Roofing is here to help. No matter what your building needs, our team has your back for: 

    • Commercial Roof Inspections

    Signs Your Commercial Property Needs Roof Repair or Replacement 

    Brian Elder Commercial Roofing professionals learn in training how to repair or replace all types of commercial roofing, ranging from flat, asphalt, shingle, low-slope, tile, and more. Yet, how do you know when your commercial space needs a roof replacement? Read on to discover the most common reasons for roof repairs and replacement and how Brian Elder Roofing can help.  

    Water Damage 

    If you see water coming through your roof during rainy weather, it is time to seek professional help. Our team can assess whether your roof requires repair or replacement. Unfortunately, leaks in commercial properties can go unnoticed, mainly if the underside of the roof is not visible. Instead, look for secondary signs of leaks, such as moldy spots and ceiling stains. If your property has an attic, check it often for water damage. Plus, you should remember that you can detect mold by its smell, even if there are no visible signs of leakage. 

    Blistering on the Roof 

    If moisture pockets develop between your roof’s underlayment and membrane, you may notice bubbles or blisters on your roof. Addressing this issue promptly can prevent more extensive damage. Catching the blistering or bubbling early can mean the difference between a simple roof repair and a costly replacement. Scenarios like this issue are why Brian Elder Roofing’s annual maintenance services are so valuable. During our inspections of your property, we will watch for this problem to save you money in the long term. 

    Storm Damage to the Roof Membrane 

    Fierce winds and severe storms can lift the roof’s membrane, leading to damage. If the damage is minor, affecting less than 25% of the roof’s space, our commercial roof repair services can prevent further damage. However, a total roof replacement may be necessary if the damage is substantial, and you can see bald spots on the roof’s membrane. 

    Clogged Downspouts 

    If the downspouts on your commercial roof release little or no water after heavy rainfall, they have a clog containing leaves, twigs, or debris. Clogged downspouts are a common issue. But, if the downspouts cannot drain water away from the roof, it could lead to standing water on the roof. Standing or pooling water on a roof can cause tremendous damage in a short amount of time. So, during our inspections, if we notice the downspouts are not working correctly, we will quickly repair them, preventing long-term damage from occurring. 

    Flashing Shows Signs of Deterioration 

    In a commercial building, flashing is crucial for the roofing system as it safeguards the materials from moisture and other elements. In addition, it provides a protective seal; if it gets damaged, water and debris can enter the roof and cause severe destruction. The damaged flashing can result in the need for repairs or a new roof. 

    Shingles are Missing or Damaged 

    Steep slope commercial roofs commonly incorporate the use of shingles. Therefore, it is vital that the shingles are inspected on occasion, but especially after a storm. If any of your shingles appear curled, splitting, cracked, or missing, this is a sign that you need to call our roofing experts. Plus, if you notice moss growing on shingles, water is trapped inside the roof under the shingles. When we repair a commercial property that uses shingles, we use the highest quality Owens Corning shingles in our repairs, so you can rest assured that your property will receive an expert repair with the most durable shingles available to roofing service providers.  

    Your Roof is Getting Old 

    As time passes, roofs age and eventually require complete replacement. Regular inspections and maintenance can help delay this process, but you can only avoid replacement temporarily. Therefore, when the time comes for a roof replacement, it is wise to be informed about the available options and the lifespan of each material. Brian Elder’s Roofing team can advise you on the best roofing materials for your property to make sure your roof is durable and lasts for many years.

    The Dangers of Ice Dams on a Roof

    Brian Elder Roofing

    Now that we had our first snow, we should keep a close eye on our roof. When ice and snow build up on a roof, you could potentially have an ice dam form up there. Unfortunately, an ice dam could cause major roof damage. 

    What is an Ice Dam? 

    An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at your roof’s edge. This ridge of ice prevents melting snow from draining off the roof. The ridge causes a large puddle of water on your roof. The water from the puddle can leak into your house and cause damage to insulation, ceilings, walls, and other areas. Your worst-case scenario is for the roof to cave in since it can no longer hold the water. You also run the risk of mold forming in your home where the water sits.
