Our thorough roof inspections specifically check for early signs of moisture intrusion and ventilation issues that lead to decking rot. By identifying compromised shingles, clogged valleys, or failing flashings before they cause structural damage, we can recommend targeted repairs. This proactive approach protects your home's integrity and saves you from more extensive, costly repairs down the line.

For minor ice dam damage, prompt repairs to shingles and underlayment are often sufficient. However, if ice dams have caused widespread water infiltration, leading to interior leaks, mold, or extensive decking rot, a full roof replacement may be the most reliable long-term solution. We assess the damage thoroughly and recommend a replacement with improved ventilation and ice-and-water shield to prevent future ice dam issues.

A repair addresses a specific, isolated problem, like fixing a leak around a chimney or replacing a section of damaged shingles. Reroofing involves installing a new layer of shingles over the existing one, which can be a cost-effective option if your decking is sound. However, for homes with existing moisture damage or multiple layers of old roofing, a full tear-off and replacement is often necessary for optimal performance and warranty protection.
