Asphalt Shingle Roof Repair

Although asphalt shingles can last up to 30 years, they may lose their surface coating with time and wear. As these granules help protect against UV damage, losing them compromises your roof’s integrity. Additionally, shingles can crack or become dislodged over time, creating leak risks. Our team effectively addresses these issues and any other concerns regarding your shingle roof.

Our experienced technicians thoroughly inspect your entire roofing system to identify the root causes of problems. We confidently assist with the following:

  • Leak detection and repairs
  • General wear and tear repairs
  • Storm damage repairs

We can also help you submit an insurance claim to your provider if necessary. Our team will provide the necessary documentation, from high-definition photos and videos to precise measurements of the damaged areas, to support your claim.

How We Install Asphalt Roof Shingles

Creating a durable, weather-tight asphalt shingle roof requires specific steps during installation:

We conduct a thorough assessment of your roof before installing new shingles. As part of the prep work, we’ll clear away any debris, nails or old shingles before starting the installation process.

Next, we install roofing felt to safeguard your roof from moisture infiltration.

Starter shingles are a specific type of roofing material that you install at the eves of a roof. They serve as a foundation for the first row of regular shingles. We’ll place your starter shingles at the bottom edge of the roof with a slight overhang.

After installing your starter shingles, we begin nailing the first full shingles into place according to your desired pattern, taking care to stagger the joints for enhanced water resistance and structural stability. A staggered pattern can also create visual interest, elevating the appearance of your home.

We’ll install ridge cap shingles, which are specifically designed to cover the ridge of a sloped roof, to ensure a polished look and protect the ridge line from water infiltration.

Flashing is a material that goes around vents, chimneys and other roof openings to prevent leaks.

The LQR team has installed numerous roofing systems with asphalt roof shingles and has extensive experience and training in roofing installation techniques. We ensure we follow the best installation practices on every type of roof.

Explore the Advantages of High-Quality Asphalt Shingles

If you’re curious why asphalt shingles are North America’s number one roofing choice, consider the advantages this roofing material offers. Here’s why so many Americans secure their homes with asphalt shingles:

Durability

Asphalt shingles can withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds. Quality shingles also resist impacts, enabling them to withstand hailstorms. Some asphalt shingles even feature a Class A fire rating, the highest rating offered.

Versatility

You can install asphalt shingles on almost any kind of roof, making them a popular choice for large, complicated structures.

Design Variety

Asphalt shingles come in a range of colors, allowing you to select shingles that match your architectural style. In addition to varying colors, asphalt shingles come in various styles — you can install traditional 3-tab shingles or opt for shingles that mimic other roofing materials like cedar shake or slate.

Algae Resistant

Where cedar shake roofs are prone to algae growth, asphalt shingles inhibit algae growth, protecting your roof and its appearance.

Energy-efficient

Some asphalt shingles are designed to be reflective, meaning they reflect sunlight instead of absorbing heat. This feature can help keep your home cooler in the hot weather common to areas like Texas and Florida, reducing the use of air conditioning and lowering energy costs.

Sound Protection

Asphalt shingles help minimize the outside noise heard within the home. They also provide more tranquility than roofing made from metal or other hard materials during hailstorms and large downpours.

Ease of Repair

Asphalt shingles are one of the most common roofing materials used in residential construction, and they’re very familiar to most teams. As a result, technicians can typically diagnose issues, source replacement materials and complete repairs quickly.
