DePietro Roofing | Roofing Services in Coventry, RI 02816

In Coventry, underlayment damage is often caused by trapped moisture from our humid climate, ice dams in winter, or improper initial installation. This felt or synthetic barrier is your roof's last line of defense. We fix it by first conducting a thorough inspection to locate all compromised areas. Then, we carefully remove the affected shingles, replace the damaged underlayment with high-quality, weather-resistant material, and re-shingle the section to ensure a seamless, watertight seal that matches your existing roof.

Yes, granule loss is a serious warning sign, especially here in Coventry. Those granules protect the asphalt from UV rays and add fire resistance. Significant loss, often seen in gutters or downspouts, exposes the shingle to accelerated weathering from our sun and rain. We assess the extent of the loss. For isolated areas, targeted repairs may suffice. However, widespread granule loss often indicates aging shingles that need replacement to prevent leaks and protect your home's structure from water damage.

We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall, and after any major storm. Our Coventry-specific inspection goes beyond a visual check from the ground. We safely examine the roof surface, flashing, valleys, and gutters for granule loss, cracked or curling shingles, and soft spots indicating underlayment failure. We also check your attic for signs of moisture, mold, or inadequate ventilation—a key factor in both underlayment and granule issues common in our area.
