Friday, October 30th, 2009Missing Shingles
Sunday, October 18th, 2009The storms that have past through the Atlanta area have cause many homes to have missing shingles. Have your local roofing contractor come out and have them to evaluate your system. Missing shingles may or may not be visible from the ground so an inspection will be needed. Most roofing companies will provide free roof inspections in hope of getting the work. Do not use a company unless they are from the Yellow Pages.
