Above the Rest Roofing | Roofing Services in Imperial, MO 63052

In Imperial, valley leaks often stem from worn flashing, ice dam damage, or improper installation. The best fix isn't just a surface patch. We start by removing old shingles and sealant from the valley, inspecting the underlying decking for rot, and replacing it if needed. Then, we install a new, waterproof valley lining and proper flashing before re-shingling with precision. This comprehensive approach addresses the root cause to prevent a recurring leak.

Signs of decking rot include sagging roof lines, soft spots you can feel from the attic, dark stains, or a musty smell. It's common in our area because leaks in valleys or around chimneys often go unnoticed, allowing moisture to soak into the wood decking over time. Missouri's humidity accelerates this rot. If we find rot during an inspection, we must replace the affected decking before re-roofing; shingling over rotten wood compromises your roof's entire structure and warranty.

This depends on the extent of the rot and the age of your roof. If the rot is isolated (like in one valley) and your shingles are relatively new, a targeted repair with decking replacement is often sufficient. However, if the rot is widespread or your shingles are near the end of their lifespan (15-20+ years), a full roof replacement is more cost-effective and reliable. We provide a detailed assessment to help you make the best long-term investment for your home.
