Other Signs of Roof Problems

Other Signs of Roof Damage

Waiting to replace an old or damaged roof can lead to big, expensive problems down the road. Follow our roof maintenance suggestions, watch for signs of roof damage, and have your roof inspected by Marathon’s professional roofers annually, and after major storms.

We offer free roof inspections by trained roofing professionals. Our inspectors can safely perform a thorough inspection and put your mind at ease.

Dark Streaks

Dark streaks/stains are usually caused by algae. This is primarily a cosmetic issue. That being said, over time, the algae can degrade your shingle’s UV protection abilities and shorten the life of your roof.

Attic Leaks

Water in your attic may indicate damaged shingles and underlayment. It's important to find the cause of the moisture as soon as possible.

Ceiling Stains

Water stains may indicate damage to your roofing system. That moisture can also cause mold and mildew. Investigate water leaks as soon as possible. Call us for help.

Roof Sagging

Warped/sagging sections of roof indicate deterioration of the plywood below the shingles; often caused by poor roof ventilation (see Roof Maintenance page). Call Marathon Roofing. We can fix it.

Cracked Shingles

Over time, shingles lose their ability to expand and contract with changing temperatures, leading to brittle, cracking shingles. Cracked shingles can allow water into your home.

Roof Aging

Curled shingle edges, cupped shingle tabs, bald spots where granules are missing, or an overall worn look are indicators that your roof needs to be replaced. Call us for a free, professional roof inspection.

Satisfied Customers

"Marathon did an excellent job working with my insurance adjuster to get approval for a new roof. John and Ryan stayed on top of every detail from insurance approval to installation and cleanup. The workmanship was outstanding. I would recommend Marathon over any other roofing company in the area."

“We just had our roof replaced yesterday. John and his crew arrived promptly and started working. 12 hours later our roof was complete and the entire yard was cleaned up. We were told it would take a couple days to finish the entire job but after tracking the weather for the remainder of the week, they finished it! We were beyond impressed. Our roof and yard look awesome! I want to thank all the guys for their hard work in the heat and humidity. They went the extra mile and we are really grateful. John also dealt with our insurance company to make it all happen. We highly recommend Marathon Roofing."

"Marathon Roofing's Owner Operator is the best of the best. (We) called yesterday with a missing tile problem. He came same day between jobs and repaired an incorrectly installed, now missing, tile. Returned today with correct tile and installed. Put him in your call list folks, he got the work ethic and expertise of the best. by the way: his missus is expecting a baby any minute."

What Our customers say

Kevin F. ★★★★★

“We were very happy with Marathon, and John in particular. He worked tirelessly with our insurance coverage and ended up getting us a complete roof replacement even though our insurance company only wanted to cover half. The new roof is beautiful and seems to be holding up to the recent winds and rain very well.”

Ward M. ★★★★★

“I think this is the best contractor I have encountered in 8 years in the area. John runs an exceptionally responsive and professional operation.”

Linda W. ★★★★★

“We used Marathon Roofing to replace our roof in Leland and inspect and repair our roof at Carolina Beach. This is the best customer service we have experienced since we moved here in 2007. I would highly recommend Johnathan Hakes and Marathon Roofing!!”
