4 Signs That Your Roof Needs To Be Repaired or Replaced
Are you unsure if your home needs a roof repair or replacement? Contact us today! Delaying a roof repair or replacement will likely result in further, unnecessary, repair expenses. The following warning signs are key factors to consider when determining whether your home needs a roof replacement.
Leaks
Have you seen water stains on your interior walls or ceilings? These should be addressed immediately. Moisture from leaks damages your roof's underlayment and your home's interior structure.
Shingle Damage
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles are a sign the shingles are at the end of their life. A roofing contractor can assess the damage and determine whether repair or replacement is the right call.
Old Flashing
Damaged, rotted, or outdated flashing can lead to leaks and bigger problems down the road. It's best to address this quickly. Contact a roofing contractor as soon as possible if you notice these roofing issues.
Missing Asphalt Granules
If you notice excessive granules in your gutters or downspout ends, your shingles are no longer protecting your roof properly. That's a clear sign it's time to call a residential roofing contractor.
Common Roof Types in Lancaster
There are several types of roofing materials available to you. Each has its own unique characteristics, design features, and advantages. We can guide you through the selection process and help you make a good decision.
Asphalt Shingles
The most common roofing material for pitched (sloped) roof applications, asphalt shingles are durable, affordable, and are easy to install. We offer a large selection of shingle colors, patterns, and quality, so you can get exactly what you want. With proper installation and regular maintenance, you can expect up to 50 years from an asphalt roof, depending on the type of shingle you choose.
EPDM Rubber Roof
A rubber roof system works well on a flat roof, where there is no pitch. With little maintenance and long lifespan, this is our preferred choice – over rolled asphalt and tar – for flat roof installations.
Standing Seam Metal
A metal roof is an excellent choice when you want durability and bright color options for your roof. Around Lancaster County, metal roof systems are the choice for barn owners and commercial properties who want a long-lasting roof, though it can be installed on any home or building with a pitched roof.
Slate
Made from thin tiles of slate stone, a slate roof is a staple throughout historic Lancaster County neighborhoods. We can repair existing slate roofs, so your home retains its historic appearance, however, we do not install a new slate roof.Why Choose George Grove?

“These guys did a great job. I called and within 2 hours they were on our property with the parts needed to repair our storm damaged roof. George Jr then called in the evening to follow up and make sure we were satisfied with the work. Highly recommended. “
“They did a good job when we had our roof replaced and charged a lower price than competitors. I would recommend them for a roof replacement. “
“They replaced our roof, some of the gutters that needed replaced, and did some work around the front window. They also put new bathroom fans in for us. They did a great job and cleaned all the mess afterward as well. Chris, John M., Tony, and the guys in the roofing crew were great and worked in some miserable hot and humid weather getting it all done.“
