As with many other important endeavors, an Orange County Roofer generally follows a set of basic steps when repairing a leaky asphalt roof. The first and most obvious of these steps is to locate the problem. In certain cases, the homeowner might have accomplished this task through a visual inspection.

Once the location is known, the roofing crew will, if possible, try to repair the problem shingles. Going this route clearly saves homeowners the most time and money.

Unfortunately, the shingle repair option might not be available in all cases. Should conditions require more extensive action, then shingle replacement will be the next step.

When replacement is necessary, an Orange County Roofing Company first must remove the damaged shingles. For this task, they’ll use special tools designed to strip the pieces away from the rooftop. A variety of excellent implements is available for this purpose. Which ones are used, of course, depends on conditions as well as personal preferences of the contractor.

In certain instances, repairs won’t be sufficient – shingle damage simply is too extensive. That’s when an Orange County Roofer must replace an entire section of the roof.
