FAQs
What are the common causes of cracked shingles in Halls?
Cracked shingles are usually the result of age-related wear, prolonged UV exposure, thermal expansion and contraction, or impact from hail and falling debris. In Halls’ humid subtropical climate, summer heat can dry out asphalt shingles, making them brittle and more prone to cracking.
Why is it important to fix cracked shingles before replacing gutters?
Damaged shingles allow water to infiltrate the roof decking, which can overflow or bypass gutters entirely. If you install new gutters without repairing the roofing first, hidden leaks may continue to degrade fascia boards and soffits—ultimately shortening the lifespan of your new gutter system.
Can individual cracked shingles be replaced, or is a full roof replacement necessary?
If cracking is isolated to a small area and the rest of the roof is in good shape, spot repairs are cost-effective. However, widespread cracking, curling, or granule loss usually signals that the roof is at or near the end of its service life, making full replacement the more economical long-term solution.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take in conjunction with shingle repairs?
For an average 2,000 sq ft home in Halls, minor shingle repairs plus a full gutter replacement usually take one to two days. Complex rooflines, fascia damage, or custom gutter profiles can extend the timeline to three days.
What gutter materials work best in the Halls area?
Aluminum is the most popular because it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and budget-friendly. Galvalume steel offers extra strength and is ideal if overhanging trees drop branches. Copper is premium, develops an attractive patina, and lasts 50+ years—perfect for historic homes but at a higher cost.
Does homeowners insurance cover cracked shingle repair and gutter replacement?
Policies typically cover sudden, accidental damage—such as storm-related hail or wind—rather than age-related wear. If a qualified inspector confirms storm damage, your insurer may pay for both roofing and related gutter work. Routine deterioration, however, is considered maintenance and is not covered.
