Common Shingle Roofing Challenges

Is Your Roof Showing Signs of Damage?

Property owners with older roofs often face recurring issues that compromise their home's protection. Shingles naturally deteriorate over time, especially in coastal regions where salt air and humidity accelerate wear. You might notice cracked or curled shingles, patches where granules have worn away, or even missing sections after strong winds. These problems don't always cause immediate leaks, but they leave your roof deck vulnerable to moisture intrusion that can lead to rot, mold growth, and structural damage.

Dark streaks on your roof surface often indicate algae growth, which thrives in North Carolina's humid climate. While primarily cosmetic, these stains can also signal trapped moisture beneath your shingles. Interior warning signs are equally important to recognize. Water stains on ceilings, peeling paint near roof lines, or a musty smell in your attic all suggest that water is penetrating your roofing system.

If your roof is approaching or exceeding 15 years of age, the likelihood of these issues increases substantially. Aging shingle roofs lose their ability to shed water effectively, and small problems can quickly escalate during heavy rainfall. The good news is that many of these concerns can be addressed with prompt professional attention, whether through targeted repairs or a complete roof replacement that restores your home's weather-tight envelope.

Read what your neighbors have to say about working with our dedicated team and the lasting results we deliver on every installation and repair.

      Our experience with Leland Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Leland Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Leland Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Leland Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Leland Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Leland Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Leland Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Leland Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Leland Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Leland Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Leland Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Leland Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Leland Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Leland Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Leland Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Leland Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Leland Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Leland Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Leland Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Leland Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Leland Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Leland Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Leland Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Leland Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Leland Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Leland Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Leland Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Leland Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Leland Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Leland Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Leland Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Leland Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Leland Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Leland Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Leland Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Leland Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Leland Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Leland Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Common Questions About Shingle Roofing

      Shingle Roofing FAQs

      Over our years serving homeowners in Leland, we've answered countless questions about shingle roofing systems. We've compiled the most common inquiries here to help you make informed decisions about your roofing project. If you don't find the answer you're looking for, our knowledgeable team is always available to provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation.

      Asphalt shingle roofs in North Carolina typically provide reliable service for many years, though their lifespan depends on several factors. The quality of materials plays a significant role, with architectural shingles generally offering enhanced durability compared to three-tab options. North Carolina's coastal climate presents unique challenges, including intense UV exposure, high humidity, and the potential for tropical storms. Proper installation by skilled professionals is essential to maximize longevity, as is adequate attic ventilation that prevents heat buildup. Regular maintenance, including periodic inspections and prompt repairs, helps identify minor issues before they compromise the entire roofing system. Property owners who invest in quality materials and professional installation while maintaining their roof through its service life tend to get the best performance from their shingle roofing systems.
      Architectural shingles and three-tab shingles represent two distinct categories of asphalt roofing products, each with unique characteristics. Three-tab shingles feature a flat, uniform appearance with cut-outs that create three distinct tabs per shingle. They're lighter in weight and have been used on residential properties for decades. Architectural shingles, sometimes called dimensional or laminate shingles, consist of multiple layers bonded together to create a thicker, more textured appearance that mimics the look of traditional wood shakes or slate. This layered construction provides enhanced durability and typically comes with longer warranty coverage from manufacturers. Architectural shingles also perform better in high-wind conditions due to their heavier weight and construction. While three-tab options may have a lower initial material expense, many homeowners find that architectural shingles offer better long-term value through improved performance, enhanced curb appeal, and extended service life.
      While it's technically possible to install a second layer of shingles over an existing roof in some situations, this approach isn't always the best solution. Building codes in many areas permit one layer of new shingles over an existing layer, but several factors must be considered first. The current roof must be in relatively sound condition without significant damage to the decking beneath. Any existing problems like rot, moisture damage, or structural issues will only worsen if covered rather than addressed. A second layer also adds considerable weight to your roof structure, which may exceed design specifications depending on your home's construction. Additionally, installing over an old roof makes it impossible to inspect the decking for damage and prevents proper installation of modern underlayment systems that enhance water resistance. Most roofing professionals recommend complete removal of old shingles when replacing a roof, as this allows for thorough inspection and repair of any underlying issues while ensuring optimal performance from your new roofing system.
      Those dark streaks that appear on many shingle roofs, particularly in humid climates like North Carolina's coastal region, result from algae growth rather than dirt accumulation. The algae, typically a blue-green variety called Gloeocapsa magma, feeds on the limestone filler used in asphalt shingle manufacturing. The black streaks you see are actually colonies of this algae that have spread across your roof surface. While primarily a cosmetic concern that affects curb appeal, algae growth can retain moisture against your shingles and potentially accelerate deterioration over time. The condition occurs more frequently on north-facing roof sections that receive less direct sunlight and stay damp longer after rainfall. Modern algae-resistant shingles incorporate copper granules that inhibit this growth, providing a long-term solution for properties prone to this issue. If your roof already shows algae staining, professional cleaning using appropriate solutions can restore its appearance, though the algae will eventually return unless algae-resistant shingles are installed during your next roof replacement.
      Determining whether your shingle roof needs repair or complete replacement requires careful assessment of several factors. Age plays a primary role in this decision. When roofs approach or exceed their expected service life, replacement typically makes more financial sense than investing in repairs that only provide short-term solutions. The extent of damage matters considerably as well. Isolated issues affecting a small section of roof might warrant targeted repairs, while widespread problems across multiple areas suggest the entire system has reached the end of its effective life. Interior warning signs like water stains on ceilings, visible daylight through roof boards, or sagging sections indicate serious problems requiring immediate professional evaluation. Exterior indicators include extensive granule loss that leaves shingles looking bare, widespread curling or cupping of shingles, numerous missing or damaged shingles, and deteriorated flashing around chimneys and vents. If you're facing repair recommendations that would address less than half your roof's area and your roof is older, replacement often proves more economical over the long term.
      Selecting a qualified shingle roofing contractor requires attention to several important factors that separate experienced professionals from less reliable operators. Proper licensing and insurance coverage should be verified first, as these protect you from liability if accidents occur on your property. Established contractors maintain general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for all crew members. Experience matters significantly in roofing work, so look for companies with a proven track record in your area and verifiable references from past customers. A professional contractor will provide detailed written estimates that specify materials, labor, timeline, and warranty coverage without pressuring you into immediate decisions. Ask about their installation process, including how they protect your property during work and their cleanup procedures. Quality contractors use reputable roofing materials and follow manufacturer specifications precisely to ensure warranty compliance. Clear communication throughout your project indicates a customer-focused company that values your satisfaction. Finally, review their warranty offerings for both materials and workmanship, as these demonstrate confidence in the quality of their installations.
