Bonilla Roofing | Roofing Services in Baton Rouge, LA 70819

In our climate, common signs include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, a musty smell in the attic indicating trapped moisture, or granules from shingles accumulating in gutters. Since underlayment is the secondary water barrier beneath your shingles, damage often goes unnoticed until it's advanced. We recommend a professional inspection, especially after severe weather, to catch issues early.

Baton Rouge's combination of high humidity, heat, and temperature fluctuations causes roofing materials to expand and contract constantly. This movement can pull flashing away from chimneys, vents, and roof valleys. Our repair process involves removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-grade flashing with proper sealing techniques to accommodate this natural movement and prevent future separation.

Our top advice is to schedule bi-annual professional inspections—once in late spring and again in early fall. This allows us to check underlayment integrity, ensure flashing is sealed tight, and clear debris that holds moisture. We also strongly recommend ensuring your attic ventilation is adequate; poor airflow accelerates underlayment deterioration in our humid environment. Simple, proactive care can prevent major repairs.
