Shingle Roof FAQs
How long should I expect my shingle roof to last?
Shingle roofs can last between 15-20 years, depending on the quality and installation of the roof. Southern Pro Roofing can get you that lifespan!
How do I clean my shingles?
There are several ways to clean your shingles which depend upon the kind of shingle roof you have. The best way, of course, is to hire a professional cleaner or roofer to give your shingle roof a deep clean and have it look brand new. Maintaining your shingle roof will also help extend its lifetime.
How do I know if my shingle roof needs to be replaced?
There are some warning signs that you need to replace your shingles. Are there areas where the material has broken away or is missing? Is there excessive leakage or water damage in your home? Are there weeds growing between the shingles? Southern Pro Roofing will be happy to inspect your shingles and let you know if it’s time for a replacement!
What does it mean to “rake” shingles?
Roofers rake shingles to create a flawless look for your roof, leveling off all edges so they don’t stick out like a sore thumb from the rest of the roof. Southern Pro Roofing is fantastic at this!
