F A Taylor & Son | Roofing Services in Salisbury, MD 21801

Common signs include sagging roof lines, dark stains on your ceiling, a musty smell in the attic, or soft spots you can feel from the outside. It's prevalent on the Eastern Shore due to our high humidity and frequent storms, which can trap moisture under shingles if ventilation is poor. At F A Taylor & Son, we perform thorough inspections to identify rot early and replace damaged decking to restore your roof's structural integrity before it leads to more extensive interior damage.

Proper attic ventilation creates a continuous flow of air, which is crucial for our hot, humid summers. It pushes out super-heated air, reducing the strain on your air conditioner and lowering cooling costs. In winter, it prevents warm, moist air from condensing on the cold underside of the roof deck, which is a primary cause of the rot we often see. Our team assesses your current ventilation and can install solutions like ridge vents, soffit vents, or powered fans to create a balanced system that protects your home and your wallet.

Our process is thorough and tailored to Salisbury's specific needs. First, we conduct a detailed inspection of your attic and roof structure. If we find deck rot, we safely remove the affected shingles and plywood, replacing it with new, treated decking. For ventilation, we design a custom plan—often combining intake (soffit) and exhaust (ridge) vents—to ensure proper airflow. We then re-shingle the area with high-quality materials suited to our coastal climate. Our goal is a repair that not only fixes the immediate problem but prevents its return for years to come.
