Prevention starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to maintain a uniform roof temperature, which we can assess. For existing homes, we recommend installing a waterproof ice and water shield membrane along the eaves during any roof replacement or major repair. This critical underlayment provides a sealed barrier where ice dams most commonly form, protecting your roof deck and interior from water intrusion even if ice builds up.

Signs often appear inside your home before you see exterior damage. Look for water stains on ceilings or along exterior walls, peeling paint, or a musty smell in the attic. From the outside, sagging or uneven roof planes, spongy feeling underfoot on the roof (for professionals to check), or missing granules on shingles above gutters can indicate compromised decking. We offer free, thorough inspections in Rockland to safely assess the extent of any rot and recommend a solution.

It depends on the extent and location of the damage. For localized rot, often caused by a persistent ice dam, we can perform a targeted repair. This involves removing the affected shingles and underlayment, replacing the rotted decking with new plywood, and seamlessly reinstalling the roofing materials. However, if the damage is widespread or the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective and reliable long-term solution. We'll provide a clear, detailed estimate for both options.
