Ah, fall in Richmond! The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and there’s that undeniable charm of cooler weather settling in. But while you’re enjoying the weather, your roof might face some not-so-cozy challenges. Richmond’s fall climate can be a bit tricky with temperature drops, increased rain, and those infamous gusty winds. The good news? Best Choice Roofing is here to make sure your roof stays in tip-top shape all season long!
At Best Choice Roofing, we know that every roof is unique, and that’s why we provide the three most popular types of shingles: three-tab, architectural, and premium. Each type has its strengths and can help keep your home protected from the fall elements. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or a more sophisticated look, we’ve got the shingles that will fit your needs perfectly.
But before you go raking up those leaves and prepping for the fall festivities, let’s talk about three common roofing problems that tend to show up this season – and how you can fix them!
1. Falling Debris and Tree Limbs
With the winds and occasional storms that Richmond experiences during the fall, it’s common for tree branches and leaf debris to fall onto roofs. Even small branches can cause damage by scraping against shingles, while larger ones can create dents or even puncture your roof.
Solution: Trim any overhanging branches that are too close to your roof before the fall winds get intense and clear off your roof of all debris. If a branch does cause damage, don’t worry—Best Choice Roofing is just a call away. We’re experienced in repairing all types of shingle damage, ensuring your roof stays strong and secure.
2. Wind Damage and Loose Shingles
Richmond can get some pretty strong winds during the fall, and this can cause shingles to loosen, crack, or even blow off entirely. When shingles are damaged, warped, or even missing, your roof becomes a lot more susceptible to leaks and other issues.
Solution: If you notice any shingles that look loose, cracked, or are missing altogether, it’s time to call the experts at Best Choice Roofing. We specialize in repairing and replacing shingles, whether you have three-tab, architectural, or premium shingles. We’ll make sure your roof is secure, so you don’t have to worry about any surprises when the next gust of wind comes through.
3. Moss, Algae, and Mold Growth
The combination of damp weather, falling leaves, and cooler temperatures creates the perfect environment for moss, algae, and mold to take hold. Not only are they unsightly, but they can also cause serious damage by trapping moisture against your shingles, leading to rot and decay.
Solution: Regular roof inspections are key to catching these problems early. At Best Choice Roofing, we offer comprehensive roof inspections to identify any issues with moss, algae, or mold. We’ll help you clean your roof safely and recommend treatments that prevent future growth, so your shingles stay in excellent condition.
