Common signs include visible gaps or lifting around chimneys, vents, or where roof sections meet. You might also notice water stains on interior walls or ceilings, especially after heavy rain. In Columbia's climate, repeated freeze-thaw cycles can exacerbate this separation. It's best to have a professional inspection to assess the extent and prevent further water damage.

Underlayment is the waterproof barrier beneath your shingles. When it's damaged—often from age, storm impact, or improper installation—it compromises the entire roof's ability to shed water, leading to leaks and rot. Repair involves lifting the affected shingles, replacing the compromised underlayment section with a new, high-quality layer, and securely reinstalling the shingles. We use materials rated for durability in Kentucky's weather.

Our inspection starts with a visual assessment of the flashing points and roof plane for any obvious damage or wear. We then carefully check the underlayment's condition by examining areas prone to moisture, like valleys and eaves. We look for telltale signs like granule loss, sagging, or soft spots. The goal is to provide you with a clear, honest evaluation and a repair plan that addresses the root cause, not just the symptom.
