After high winds common in our area, look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles. You might also find granules from the shingles in your gutters or on the ground. Some shingles may be 'lifted' or creased where the wind has gotten underneath them. It's best to have a professional inspection, as damage isn't always visible from the ground and can lead to leaks if left unaddressed.

Moisture in roof insulation, often from poor attic ventilation or a small leak, reduces its effectiveness, leading to higher energy bills. More critically, it can cause wood rot, mold growth, and structural damage. We fix this by first locating and repairing the source of moisture, then assessing the insulation and roof deck. We'll replace damaged materials and ensure your attic has proper ventilation to prevent future issues.

For our climate, we highly recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles rated for high winds (often Class 4). These shingles have a stronger adhesive seal and are tested to withstand hurricane-force winds. Proper installation is just as crucial—we use specific nailing patterns and techniques to ensure your roof is securely fastened to resist the strong gusts we experience in Tuscaloosa.
