The first signs are often subtle. Inside your home, look for water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after heavy rain. Outside, you might notice dark spots or streaks on your roof decking from the attic, or feel drafts. Since underlayment is beneath the shingles, curling or buckling shingles can also be a key indicator of a problem underneath. We recommend a professional inspection if you see any of these signs to prevent minor damage from becoming a major leak.

Shingle curling in Pekin is commonly caused by moisture trapped underneath from poor attic ventilation or previous underlayment failure, or simply by the shingles reaching the end of their lifespan due to weather exposure. Yes, it's a serious issue. Curled shingles break the roof's seal, making them vulnerable to being torn off by wind and allowing water to seep in, which damages the underlayment and decking. Addressing curling quickly is crucial to avoid more extensive, expensive repairs.

In many cases, a targeted repair is possible and can save you significant money. Our approach is to carefully remove the affected shingles, replace the compromised section of underlayment, and install new shingles that blend seamlessly with your existing roof. However, if the damage is widespread or the rest of the roof is near the end of its life, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective long-term solution. We'll provide a thorough, honest assessment to recommend the best option for your home and budget.
