Over the years, it has been proven that asphalt shingles are a worthy expense when it comes to your roof replacement or installation project. Aside from its affordability and recyclability, this material made of fiberglass or felt paper base coated with a waterproof layer of asphalt with ceramic granules is guaranteed to be resilient and customizable. They have been a common choice for most western contractors and homeowners because of their durability. However, these also come with their problems, such as curling. Today, we’ll share how and why this happens.
Experts note that curled shingles will occur more often near or around the shingle tab edges. The damage can sometimes occur at the lower edge and on both sides of the shingle tab. Some of the most common causes behind curled shingles include:
- Poor Installation. This is one of the primary factors you can look out for. This suggests that it is possible that your roofer did not use the recommended amount of nails or placed them in the wrong spots. Never forget that working with an experienced roofing company to avoid curled shingles and a host of other problems is critical.
- Roof Overlay. Shingles are prone to curling because of the multiple layers on your roof. Sometimes, a siding and roofing company will opt to lay a second roof on top of the old one to save you money. This roofing job doesn’t last as long as an entirely replaced roof and can affect its inner structure. It may be cheaper than a complete replacement, but this also means you’re leaving your old roof intact. The new layer of shingles won’t be installed securely when this occurs, making them more susceptible to curling.
- Moisture Buildup. Excessive heat from the sun and heat rising into your attic or crawl space can cause your shingles to curl and shrink, nails to pop, and weak areas to form. This is primarily driven by inadequate roof ventilation and your roof decking absorbing excess moisture when installed or replaced.
- Old Age. If you have an outdated and failing system, curled shingles can occur due to wear and tear. Have your roof replaced before more severe damage happens.

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! Thanks guys!
