Most of us do not think about the condition of the roof of our home too often, except after a heavy rainstorm that had lots of wind. We see a water spot on the ceiling of a couple of rooms, and that is enough to raise our suspicions as to whether the roof is leaking or not.
The best thing to do is to call the Austin roofing company and ask them to come on out to the house and inspect the damage. Depending upon how wide spread any damage might be, there may be no need for repair, and yet there may be a need for some major repair.
Incidents like these are very common where minor repair such as a few shingles that need replacing are needed. It is rare that an entire roof would need replacement, although in a major windstorm, or a tornado or hurricane would probably require more extensive repair.
Our roofs are usually covered with asphalt shingles that are loosely nailed onto our roof at one end so that they can move a little and let in air. This allows the roof to "breathe" and let fresh air into the attic, but it can also allow too much rain in big storms, causing the need for roof repair.
