1. Missing or Damaged Shingles

High winds, rainstorms, and winter weather can loosen, crack, or completely tear off shingles. Missing shingles leave your roof vulnerable to leaks and moisture intrusion.

How to Fix It

Replace damaged or missing shingles immediately. Matching new shingles to your existing roof ensures both proper protection and a seamless appearance.
Amex Roofing provides fast replacement services, ensuring your roof is sealed before the next storm hits.

2. Curling or Buckling Shingles

Curling shingles are a sign of age, trapped moisture, or poor attic ventilation. Curled shingles cannot lie flat, making it easy for water to slip underneath.

How to Fix It

Minor curling can sometimes be temporarily secured with roofing cement—but this is not a long-term solution.
If large sections are curling or buckling, complete shingle replacement is the safest option.
Amex Roofing can inspect your attic ventilation and roofing structure to determine the cause and prevent future damage.

3. Granule Loss

As shingles age, the protective granules loosen and fall off—especially after heavy storms or in high-sun exposure areas. Without granules, shingles become brittle and lose their waterproofing ability.

How to Fix It

Spot-replace shingles showing granule loss or consider upgrading to longer-lasting composite options like Enviroshake.
Regular inspections help catch granule loss before it turns into leaks or premature roof failure.

4. Leaks and Water Damage

Water intrusion is one of the most common and damaging roofing issues. Leaks often occur around chimneys, vents, skylights, or areas where shingles are missing or cracked.

How to Fix It

First, identify the exact source of the leak—water can travel along rafters before dripping into your home.
Shingles may need replacement, and roof flashing around vents or chimneys may require resealing or upgrading.
Our leak repair specialists ensure your entire roofing system is watertight before colder temperatures cause ice-related expansion damage.

5. Moss and Algae Growth

North Vancouver’s wet, coastal climate creates the perfect environment for moss and algae growth. Moss traps moisture, causing shingles to rot, crack, or lift.

How to Fix It

Use a professional, shingle-safe moss treatment. Avoid pressure washing—this can damage the granules and shorten your roof’s life.
Amex Roofing provides safe moss removal services that protect your shingles and improve your roof’s lifespan.

Why Winter Roof Maintenance Matters

A compromised shingle roof is at greater risk of leaks, rot, mold, and structural damage during winter. Snow, ice dams, freezing rain, and strong winds can turn small roofing issues into thousands of dollars in repairs.

Addressing problems now ensures:

• A stronger, longer-lasting roof

• Better home insulation and energy efficiency

• Fewer emergency repairs during storms

• Protection for your home’s interior and structure
