Question Answers
What are the signs of roof underlayment damage I should look for in my Trenton home?
Common signs in our area include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, mold or mildew in the attic, and a musty smell. Externally, you might notice cracked or curling shingles. The underlayment is a critical moisture barrier, and Trenton's freeze-thaw cycles can compromise it. We recommend a professional inspection if you see any of these signs to prevent more extensive damage.
Why is my roof's ridge cap failing, and how can Ermes Construction fix it?
Ridge caps are highly vulnerable to wind uplift and weathering. In Trenton, high winds and storms can loosen or break the seals. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged caps, inspecting the underlying structure for issues, and installing new, high-wind-rated ridge caps with premium sealants. This restores the critical weather seal at your roof's peak and protects your entire roofing system.
As a general contractor, can you handle both the roofing repair and any related interior damage?
Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we uniquely manage the entire project. If a damaged underlayment or ridge cap has caused leaks and interior water damage, our team can coordinate the roof repair, dry out affected areas, replace damaged drywall or insulation, and repaint—all under one contract. This seamless approach saves you time, ensures quality control, and provides a single point of responsibility.
