Al Bernard & Son's Roofing | Roofing Services in Saylorsburg, PA 18353

Nail pops are frequent here due to our temperature swings, which cause the roof decking to expand and contract, pushing nails up. We don't just hammer them back down—that's a temporary fix. Our expert team removes the popped nail, seals the hole, and replaces it with a longer, corrosion-resistant nail in a new location, then re-seals the shingle. This addresses the root cause and prevents leaks.

Signs include interior water stains, drafts, or feeling granules from your shingles in the gutters. The underlayment is your roof's last line of defense before water reaches the decking. In our climate, damaged underlayment from ice dams or age can quickly lead to wood rot and structural issues. We meticulously inspect, remove affected shingles, and replace the underlayment with high-quality, ice-and-water barrier materials in vulnerable areas for superior protection.

Our local inspections focus on problem areas we know well. We check for nail pops along roof planes, inspect underlayment integrity in valleys and near eaves where ice dams form, examine flashing around chimneys and vents for gaps, and assess shingle condition for wind or hail damage common in the Poconos. This proactive approach helps us catch small issues before they become major, costly repairs for your Saylorsburg home.
