Fernandez Lopez | General Contractors & Roofing in Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702

The freeze-thaw cycles and high winds common in Northeastern Pennsylvania can wear down the sealant and fasteners on ridge caps. At Fernandez Lopez, we start with a thorough inspection to assess the damage. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised caps, replacing any damaged underlying materials, and installing new, high-quality ridge vents with durable, weather-resistant sealants to prevent future moisture and wind-driven rain issues.

Absolutely. Moisture in attic insulation often stems from inadequate ventilation or compromised roofing materials. When we install a new roof for your Wilkes-Barre home, we don't just swap shingles. We design and implement a complete roofing system that includes proper intake and exhaust ventilation. This balanced airflow helps expel moist air from your attic, keeping your insulation dry and effective, which improves your home's energy efficiency and prevents mold growth.

Integrating a new roof section seamlessly is critical. Our approach for building additions focuses on continuity. We match the existing roofing materials for aesthetics but, more importantly, we extend the home's ventilation system into the new space. We pay special attention to flashing details where the new roof meets the old and ensure the ridge line is properly constructed and sealed. This proactive design prevents the insulation and structure of your new addition from developing the moisture issues common in our area.
