Brown Builders | General Contractors & Roofing in Acushnet, MA 02743

We build proactive protection into every new home. This includes using high-quality, breathable synthetic underlayment that resists moisture degradation, ensuring proper attic ventilation to reduce dampness, and installing zinc or copper strips along the roof ridge. These strips release ions during rain that naturally inhibit moss growth, a long-term solution perfect for our humid Acushnet climate.

Our roofing experts will conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Often, we can safely remove the moss, treat the area to prevent regrowth, and repair sections of compromised underlayment. However, if the wood decking beneath is damaged, a more extensive repair or partial replacement may be necessary to ensure your home's integrity. We provide honest, clear recommendations.

Our area's freeze-thaw cycles, high humidity, and older housing stock can cause traditional felt underlayment to become brittle, tear, or trap moisture. We address this by removing the damaged material, inspecting the decking for rot, and installing modern, synthetic underlayment. This upgraded material is far more resistant to tearing and water absorption, providing a durable secondary water barrier that stands up to New England weather.
