Yes, ridge tile movement is a frequent concern in our area due to high winds, freeze-thaw cycles, and the settling of older mountain homes. Our approach begins with a thorough inspection to assess the underlying cause, such as failing mortar or compromised decking. We then perform a targeted repair, which often involves carefully removing the affected tiles, repairing or reinforcing the substrate, and then reinstalling or replacing the tiles with proper mortar and fastening techniques designed to withstand our local weather patterns. Addressing this promptly prevents water intrusion and more extensive damage.

Our comprehensive roof inspection is a detailed evaluation designed to give you a clear picture of your roof's health. We examine all key components, including shingles or tiles, flashing, valleys, gutters, vents, and the underlying decking for signs of wear, damage, or potential failure. We pay special attention to common local problem areas like flashing and ridge caps. You'll receive a straightforward, written report with our findings, photos for clarity, and honest recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance, with no pressure to proceed with work unless it's truly needed.

The decision between repair and reroofing depends on the age, extent of damage, and overall condition of your existing roof. During our inspection, we assess factors like the number of damaged or missing shingles, the integrity of the underlayment and decking, and the presence of widespread leaks or wear. If issues are isolated and the roof is relatively young, a repair is often the most cost-effective solution. However, if the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or has extensive, systemic problems, a full reroofing project may be the more reliable and economical long-term investment. We'll provide a transparent analysis to help you make the best choice for your home.
