To keep your asphalt shingle roof in good condition, you’ll need to get it cleaned and maintained regularly by a trusted roof repair contractor. You might prefer to do the inspections yourself, but only a trained professional will know how to spot and address any minor damage on your roof to prevent costly repairs later on. Some types of damage will also require professional attention to ensure it won’t affect the rest of your roof, such as blisters in asphalt shingles.
What Usually Causes Asphalt Shingle Blisters?
- Poorly-Designed Roof Ventilation. Not having a reliable ventilation system can easily compromise your shingles’ effectiveness against the natural elements. If you don’t have enough vents installed, the accumulated hot air can stay trapped in the attic much longer, causing shingles to blister.
- Moisture. When moisture gets trapped within the shingles during the manufacturing process, it can evaporate when exposed to sunlight with heat causing them to blister. Normally, this won’t affect asphalt shingle lifespan as long as the granules are intact. However, if some have already popped, they’ll need to be replaced because they’re now more exposed to the elements.
- Subpar Roofing Installation. When your roof replacement often gets moisture trapped in between the layers, it’s usually due to the materials not being installed properly. For instance, if the adhesive wasn’t applied correctly, moisture can slowly accumulate and evaporate under the shingles. When the weather gets warmer, they evaporate and lead to blistering over time.
How to Address and Prevent Blistered Shingles
When blisters start appearing on your asphalt shingle roof, you must have them repaired as soon as possible. This should also be done by a professional roofer who can also check for other signs of roofing damage such as hail bruises, cracks, curling, and splits. This keeps the rest of your roof intact since blistered shingles can be mitigated through routine maintenance, but only if the damage is minor. And if there’s more damage than you can count, it may be better to get a full replacement!

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY
When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself…

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room!
