Roof Deterioration

Continuous exposure to heat and sunlight can compromise the integrity of your roof over time, and older roofs are more likely to experience sun and heat damage. Consider replacing your roof before the summer hits if you’ve had it for over ten years or you are noticing damage of any kind, such as asphalt shingles that have significantly balded, eroded, or peeled. This can leave the wood surface underneath to be exposed to further damage from the sun and rain.

Heat Shock

Older roofs are also more susceptible to cracking and splitting in hotter months. Your roof can expand in the heat then contract when the temperature drops. If this happens constantly, the lifespan of your roof will significantly decrease.

Humidity

Did you know that humidity can also play a role in roof damage? The moisture in the air can damage the wood in your roof. Texas is notoriously known for high humidity, and high humidity can not only damage the foundation of your roof, also called your roof decking, but it can also damage your shingles. When shingles become damaged, any strong gust of wind can loosen them and tear them off the roof.
