Asheville Roof Replacement Specialist
When Should You Replace Your Roof?
Some types of roof damage are noticeable, while other kinds remain hidden. Sometimes, a small issue with your roofing system can escalate to a more severe complication. You may need to replace your roof if it shows signs of damage, such as:
- Broken flashing
- Wall or ceiling discoloration
- Leakage
- Cracks
- Sagging
- Mold or mildew
- Plant growth
The Dangers of Delaying a Roof Replacement
After prolonged exposure to severe weather conditions, a roof can become faulty. Your roof requires as much care as any other part of your house. McElrath Roofing is Asheville's Roof Replacement Specialist and will eliminate potential roof hazards you may have. Unaddressed roofing damage could bring on the following risks:
- Fire Hazard
Moisture that seeps through a damaged roof can wet your cables and electrical outlets, which can cause a fire to break out in your home. Similarly, the risk of an electrical shock increases when water comes into contact with exposed wires.
- Damaged Drywall
Although the most obvious form of damaged drywall is staining and bubbling, more significant problems can also emerge. Wet drywall can cause mold to form, weaken the structure of your house, and even pose a risk to your electrical system.
- Roof Collapse
Untreated water leakage can rot some of the materials in your roofing system, causing irreversible damage to the entire structure of your home. Living under a saggy, rotten roof puts you and your loved ones at risk of injury.
- Health Issues
Mold or mildew growth on your roof can lead to allergies and inflammation, especially in individuals with pre-existing health conditions. In addition, mold can spread to your air conditioning systems, walls, and other parts of your home, compounding the problem.
- Compromised Insulation
A damaged roof often results in water leaking through to your attic and ceiling, compromising your home's insulation. Maintaining a regular inspection schedule with the experts from McElrath Roofing will help you avoid problems with the insulation in your home.

Duro-Last Certified Contractor for Roof Replacement Services
Many roofing companies will tell you they can give you the cheapest price in town, but do not be fooled; the cheapest price is very rarely good quality. A cheap roof replacement usually consists of low-grade materials installed by inexperienced, uninsured installers.
A top-quality roof replacement consists of the highest-grade materials available and is installed by experienced installers who have years of experience replacing roofs of all types and sizes.
McElrath Roofing has extensive knowledge of all types of roofs and can handle any issues that may arise during the course of a job. All of our workers are insured for their protection. We also always have experienced supervisors on-site to maintain communications with the customer.

A Top-Quality Roof Replacement Includes
- A thorough roof evaluation from a trained roofing professional
- An estimate that details what you are getting for a set price and addresses all concerns. Any possible extra charges should be clearly listed.
- An office and support staff are ready to answer any questions while you are awaiting your new roof replacement.
- A site inspection prior to installation of the new roof. This is to address any issues that may need special attention.
- Proper site prep, including protection of the landscape and any other structures.
- Full removal of old roofing and underlayment down to the decking underneath.
- Proper inspection and repair of deteriorating decking.
- Installation of highest quality roofing materials, purchased from distributors that specialize in roofing materials and accessories. (To assure proper handling and storage prior to shipping/installation)
