In our area, shingle curling is often caused by moisture absorption from our damp climate, combined with UV exposure and temperature swings. To fix it, we perform a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage. For localized curling, we can replace the affected shingles with high-quality, impact-resistant alternatives designed for our weather. If the curling is widespread, we'll discuss a full roof replacement to ensure long-term protection against Bellingham's elements.

Yes, that's a very common sign of flashing failure, which is a frequent issue here due to wind-driven rain and expansion/contraction from temperature changes. Flashing is the metal sealing around roof penetrations like chimneys, vents, and skylights. We'll inspect the area to see if the flashing is cracked, corroded, or has come loose. Our repair involves carefully removing the old material, preparing the surface, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with proper sealing to create a watertight barrier for your Bellingham home.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend an annual inspection, especially after our windy fall and winter seasons, to catch minor issues before they become major leaks. Keeping your gutters clean to prevent ice dams and water backup is crucial. Also, ensure your attic has proper ventilation; trapped heat and moisture accelerate shingle deterioration and can contribute to curling. We're happy to provide a maintenance check and offer practical advice to extend the life of your roof.
