Common signs in our area include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after a thaw, a musty smell in the attic, or visible curling or buckling of shingles. The freeze-thaw cycles we experience can cause trapped moisture to damage the underlayment beneath the shingles. We recommend a professional inspection, as the damage often starts out of sight.

In the Upper Valley, warm, moist air from your home can rise into a cold attic. Without proper insulation and ventilation, this moisture condenses on the roof sheathing, leading to rot, mold, and compromised insulation. Proper airflow and insulation work together to keep the attic temperature consistent with the outdoors, preventing the condensation that leads to major moisture damage.

The repair starts with safely removing the affected shingles to expose the damaged underlayment and sheathing. We then replace any rotted wood and install new, high-quality synthetic underlayment that provides superior moisture resistance. Finally, we re-shingle the area, ensuring proper sealing and integration with the existing roof to restore a watertight barrier for your home.
