Erect Construction and Roofing | Roofing Services in Park Hills, MO 63601

The most urgent step is to secure any loose or missing shingles immediately to prevent water intrusion. In Park Hills, high winds can lift shingles, breaking the sealant strips and exposing your roof deck. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the full extent of the damage, as compromised shingles often lead to leaks in our next heavy rain. Temporary tarps can be a short-term fix, but a proper repair or replacement of the affected section is crucial for long-term protection.

In our area, flashing often fails due to a combination of high winds, thermal expansion/contraction from temperature swings, and aging sealants. Wind can physically separate flashing from chimneys, vents, and walls. Our fix involves carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the underlying structure for water damage, and installing new, corrosion-resistant flashing sealed with high-grade, flexible sealants designed to withstand Missouri's weather. Proper installation is key to creating a lasting, watertight barrier.

Absolutely. A professional inspection is the best defense. We specifically look for signs of wind damage like creased or lifted shingles, granule loss in specific patterns, and any separation at the roof's edges or ridges. We also meticulously check all flashing points for gaps, corrosion, or weakened sealant. Catching these issues early allows for minor, affordable repairs that prevent major interior water damage and costly structural repairs down the line for your Park Hills home.
