There are a few signs to look for to help determine if you need a new roof. These include:
- Missing shingles
- Curling shingles
- Blistering shingles
- Loss of shingle granular
- Black spots on your roof
- Exposed fiberglass on your roof
Any of these signs may mean that your roof is getting to the end of its life cycle.

- Windows that are hard to open

Accordion Sample DescriptionThe average lifespan of a roof is between 20 and 25 years. However, thanks to the advanced technology that is available today, Glick’s is able to install 50-year shingles. We also provide metal roofing, which can last as long as 70 years.

There are a lot of different types of siding—and we love that at Glick’s! But we understand that the options can be overwhelming. To help narrow down your options, ask yourself what type of look you are going for. You also want to make sure that you’re choosing siding that is high-quality, thick, and offers interlocking and double nailing area features. Unfortunately, all siding manufacturers also offer a "builder's grade" siding option, which fades and easily warms. It is crucial that you look for the previously mentioned features when choosing siding.
We’re glad you asked! Roof maintenance plays a crucial role in keeping your roof looking beautiful and getting as many years out of it as possible. By having a consistent roof maintenance plan, you are proactively preventing roof problems from damaging the inside of your home. Give us a call to have one of our roofing techs come and have a look!
When we come to do a roofing or siding project, we will need all the vehicles moved from the driveway, as well as access to the entire exterior and interior of the house.

We will then inspect the inside and outside your home for anything fragile on the walls—we pride ourselves in making sure we leave your home more beautiful than when we arrived! If you are having windows installed, we will also need to have easy access to the windows and all blinds must be removed.
