Take a stroll outside and look, really look, at your roof on your Okotoks home. Usually you take it for granted it’s there, it has shingles, it keeps the rain out. Now that you’re taking a good look at it, does anything look out of place? Are there shingles that are loose, maybe damaged, or even shingles which have black streaks on them? Are trees touching your roof? If you answered yes to the above questions, then it’s time for a check up from your Okotoks Roofing Contractor. What’s so bad about those things? After all, what’s a little bit of tree hugging on the part of the roof if it’s not leaking? There’s more to it than appearances. Trees can cause a variety of problems. Branches can scratch and gouge roofing material (in other words leaks).
