Common Questions

What's the most common sign of roof deck rot I should look for after a storm in Columbia?

After heavy rain or wind in our area, the most common sign is a sagging or uneven roof line from the street, which indicates the decking underneath is compromised. Inside, look for dark water stains on ceilings or in your attic. It's crucial to address this quickly, as a weakened deck can't properly support new shingles. We offer free inspections to assess the damage and recommend the right repair to protect your home's structure.

Can you repair just a few wind-damaged shingles, or do I need a full section replaced?

In many cases, we can perform a spot repair for isolated wind damage. However, here in Columbia, where wind can lift the edges of surrounding shingles, we often recommend replacing a full section (a "square") to ensure a uniform, watertight seal. During our inspection, we'll check the nail lines and surrounding shingles to determine the most effective and long-lasting repair strategy for your specific situation.

How quickly should I address missing or creased shingles from a windstorm?

You should address it as soon as safely possible. Even a single missing shingle creates an entry point for water, which can lead to leaks, mold, and interior damage, especially with our frequent Maryland rains. We prioritize emergency tarping and storm damage assessments to prevent minor issues from becoming major, costly repairs. Giving us a call quickly can save you from more extensive water damage to your home's interior and structure.
