Fuquay-Varina Roofing Repair | Atlantic Roofing & Construction

Signs of underlayment damage include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, a musty odor in the attic, or granules from shingles accumulating in your gutters. It's common here due to our area's high humidity and frequent temperature changes, which can cause the underlayment to deteriorate prematurely, losing its critical water-shedding barrier. A professional inspection from our team can confirm the extent of the damage.

While sometimes it's a failed sealant bead, skylight leaks in our region often point to issues with the flashing—the metal strips that seal the skylight to the roof. Over time, expansion and contraction from our weather can warp or loosen the flashing. We don't just re-caulk; we perform a full diagnostic to check the flashing, curb, and surrounding shingles to ensure a permanent fix that prevents future water intrusion.

We recommend high-quality, algae-resistant asphalt shingles with a strong warranty, paired with synthetic underlayment. Synthetic underlayment is more tear-resistant and provides better protection against wind-driven rain than traditional felt, making it ideal for our storm seasons. For skylights, we use step-flashing integrated with ice and water shield—a critical combination for managing the heavy rainfall we experience.
