Common Roof Problems
If you’ve got a roof over your head, you’ve got a place to get away from the elements and keep yourself and your family safe. But what if that roof isn’t quite doing its job?
Over time, the shingles or tiles on your roof naturally become weathered and need either repairing or replacing. If your roofing is in bad shape, the underlying roof material becomes prone to dry rot or mold, which can then lead to leaks and major repairs later on.
There are a few factors that can worsen your roof quickly over time if action isn’t taken to fix the problem.
Here are a few common roofing issues that we’ve seen done by other roofing contractors:
Improper Installation
Although many roofers in the area are highly qualified, it may happen that your shingles or tiles have not been properly installed. If your contractor does not offer a lifetime grantee on both material and labor like we do here at Aspen, it may be a costly fix. Improper roof installation can lead to quicker wear and improper water drainage, which can be harmful during the winter months.
Poor Maintenance
After a new roof is installed properly, some roof repair maintenance may be needed to keep debris from clogging drains. Minor fixes may also be needed from time to time. If ignored, they could lead to larger problems.
Weathering
This is the most common problem, and it is completely natural, but the amount of time that it takes for a roof to weather depends on the type of material used. See which types of roofing we use at Aspen Home Improvements under “Quality Roofing and Accessories” on our roofing page.
Flashing Issues
Flashing refers to the weather-resistant barrier that is installed between joints on a roof. If the flashing is improperly installed or poorly adhered to the surface, you may encounter a leaky roof and roof repair or roof replacement may be an option.

What Homeowners Say About Aspen
Very good working with this company. Product is good. Like family owned business… very friendly! Purchased a new sliding door and window.
Wonderful people to work with! In order to replace the door, they had to remove the original woodwork, but once it was in they put it back up so well that we can't see a difference. Everyone was great. The salesman, the technician that did the work and the person that did the follow up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
The experience was awesome. Luke, our sales person, was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable and willing to get the answers we needed. The install was easy. They communicated throughout the process. I would recommend Aspen to anyone.
Great window quality. Customer service has been good with taking care of a few minor issues. Nice little gift box when they come for a final review.
Very grateful that this company would tackle the siding on our vintage log cabin. The crew that did the work had weather challenges with several snow events, but the work is well done and we've had compliments as to how Nice our house looks. Thank you Aspen!
