This is the most common request our roofing company gets from clients. It may not seem like it, but your roof can go through a significant number of problems before it starts fully breaking down. Regardless of the problem you’re experiencing, it may be best if you assessed the situation as soon as possible.
Keep in mind that the further you let the problem go on, the higher the risk is of your family, your co-workers, or yourself to suffer some physical damage from your broken roof. On the other hand, roof repairs may seem expensive, but if you tackle the issue as quickly as you notice it, you may save some money in the future.
Noticing a problem with your roof may be complicated in some cases, so we’re including a list below of common issues your roof may go through over its life span:
- Leaks: Leaking is the primary sign of roof wear and tear. A roof may leak due to several reasons, but generally, it’s because of some elements of your roof, such as broken roof shingles, tiles, or slates.
A water leak is most common to find under areas such as the chimney, under the shingles, gutters, skylights, vents, pipes, or valleys. If you notice some water stains around these areas, make sure to call a roofing company in Toronto to take care of the issue as quickly as possible to avoid bigger leaks.
- Moss: Moss is a type of plant that can grow itself around your gutters. If the growth is too much, your gutters may be cluttered, causing some cracks and leaking. Normally, you can take care of the issue by uncluttering the gutters yourself, but if you don’t have the experience, consider calling a roofing team.
- Broken Gutters: Aside from moss, your gutters can wear down and break due to several reasons. If you notice some water leaks or pools under your gutters, you may need to fix or replacement to prevent water from going inside your home.
- Blistering, Cracks, and Holes: While there may not be any external factors causing them, your roof may get blistering, cracks, or holes as time passes. In other cases, poor attic ventilation could cause the temperature of your roof to increase and cause these future issues.
- Tree Damage: Nature can be unpredictable, and you need to be quick to fix these issues in emergency cases. In the case that a tree crashes into your roof, you need to take care of it immediately since the branches can wear down your roof over time.
While it’s recommended that you remove any trees near your roof, you may not be prepared for every scenario. If your roof suffered from any kind of tree damage, consider calling our team.
- Ice/Snow Damage: Cold seasons tend to be hard on property roofs. In most cases, snow and ice can melt into water and seep underneath your roof shingles, where it freezes again and breaks your roof from the inside.
It’s hard to predict how snow could damage your roof, but you can prevent most of these issues by checking up on your roof from time to time and giving it routine maintenance. However, if you’ve already sustained roof damage due to ice or snow, call us! We can fix it.
- Roof Shrinkage: It’s not as common as other roof problems, but some roof materials tend to shrink as time passes; this can lead to several other problems, such as roof deterioration and leaking.
- Poor Maintenance: As we’ve mentioned before, you cannot entrust your roof repairs to everyone. While some roof repairs may seem simple enough to let someone else fix them or fix them yourself, it’s extremely easy to turn these problems into bigger problems if you don’t know what you’re doing.
People without roofing experience often find themselves touching things they can’t touch while fixing a roof, which can lead to one of the many issues we’ve explained above. If you have a roof problem and don’t know how to fix it properly, call a professional to help you.
- Poor Installation: In the case that you want to install an entirely new roof on your property, it would be best to go with certified roofers. There are many people who claim to know how to install roofs, but if they’re not certified, it may be hard to see whether they’re as good as they claim.
Poorly installed roofs are among the most common reasons for future complications, which may lead you to have to replace your roof again shortly. Our team has been working with roof replacements for several years now, and each member is certified, so if you’re looking for the right people to begin your project, call us!
- Neglect: Finally, most property owners simply ignore that their roof has a problem until its condition worsens. While your roof may sustain prolonged damage for some years, it may be in your best interest to take care of the issue right away.
Without a proper inspection, it may be hard to determine your roofs’ life expectancy, and if you let all these problems pass by, your roof may break down unexpectedly at any point in the future. Remember that the key to a healthy roof is to give it proper maintenance when needed.

The soffit and fascia are usually two parts of a home that are often ignored but yet play an important role in ensuring an effective roofing system. There are more than just decorative elements that help complete the look of your home. The fascia is the long straight exposed board that hangs on the edge of a roof’s overhang while the soffit is the material underneath your overhang. It is placed between the fascia and your house wall. Both the fascia and soffit can be made from either wood, aluminium, or vinyl. Keeping these two parts of your home is vital to ensure proper care of your roofing system. This is because the soffit features venting which helps to establish proper air ventilation between your roof and attic. It also helps to keep animals and insects out of your home. The fascia on the other hand acts as a support for your bottom row roofing materials helping to keep them up. It is also where your gutters will be placed. Thus you need to ensure they are strong enough to do just that.
The soffit and fascia are two very important components of your house exterior and if there are properly installed and maintained, they can cause you a lot of damage in the long run.
