After high winds, common signs in our area include missing, cracked, or lifted shingles along the peak of your roof. You might also see granules from the shingles in your gutters or on the ground. Inside, check for water stains on ceilings near the top of the house. Ridge caps are critical for sealing the roof's peak, so even minor damage can lead to leaks. We recommend a professional inspection after severe weather to catch these issues early.

In Bel Air, underlayment failure is often caused by trapped moisture from ice damming in winter and high humidity in summer, which can compromise the protective layer beneath your shingles. Prevention starts with proper attic ventilation and insulation to minimize temperature differences. During a roof replacement, using a modern, synthetic underlayment provides a superior moisture barrier compared to traditional felt paper. We assess your attic's airflow and recommend the best underlayment for long-term protection against our local climate.

Often, yes. If the damage is localized and the surrounding shingles are in good condition, we can perform a targeted repair. This involves carefully removing the affected shingles, replacing the compromised underlayment with a new, sealed section, and reinstalling the original shingles or matching new ones. However, if the underlayment is failing in multiple areas or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a partial repair may not be cost-effective. We'll provide a straightforward assessment to help you choose the most sensible solution for your home and budget.
