Have you checked your shingle roof lately? You’ll want to keep tabs on its condition to ensure that any problems can be identified and dealt with promptly. One warning sign to watch out for is curling of the asphalt shingles. Why does this happen, and what can you do about it? Window World of Boston, the premier expert in roof and siding replacement in the area, answers these questions here.
Why Asphalt Shingle Curling Occurs
The issue is exactly that–the asphalt shingles will begin to curl, starting at the lower edge of the material and then extending to the two sides. There are plenty of reasons why curling can happen in asphalt shingles. A common one is old age. Constant exposure to harsh weather conditions will wear down the roofing material over time, and the deterioration is evident by curling in the shingles.
However, there are also cases where the asphalt shingles are barely ten years old but are already curling at the edges. Manufacturing defects are one possible reason in this case, and poor attic ventilation is another. If you were unlucky enough to have worked with an inexperienced contractor, the reason for the curling shingles is likely poor workmanship.
What You Can Do About Asphalt Shingle Curling
It’s pretty much impossible to repair curled asphalt shingles, especially if they’ve already lost most of their mineral granules. At this point, the weather resistance provided by the roofing system has been compromised, making leaks and other issues more likely to form.
