J.E.S. Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Riverdale, GA 30274

Common signs include sagging roof lines, dark stains on ceilings, and a spongy feel when walking on the roof. In Riverdale's humid climate, trapped moisture from poor ventilation or damaged shingles often causes this. We fix it by first removing the affected shingles and rotted decking, then replacing it with new, treated plywood before installing a proper underlayment and new roofing materials to ensure a lasting repair.

Yes, granule loss is a serious sign of roof aging and sun damage, which is common here. Granules protect shingles from UV rays. Significant loss can lead to cracked shingles and leaks. We recommend a professional inspection. Often, it indicates the need for a roof replacement. We can also check your gutter system, as clogged gutters from granules can cause water backup and worsen roof and fascia damage.

Properly installed and sized gutters are your roof's first line of defense. They channel rainwater away from your roof deck, fascia, and foundation. In Riverdale, where heavy rains are common, faulty gutters can lead to water backing up under shingles, causing the very roof deck rot we often see. We install seamless gutter systems with adequate downspouts to ensure efficient water flow, protecting your roof's structure and preventing costly repairs.
