Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, which are clear signs of wind damage. Hidden rot in the roof deck is trickier; interior clues like water stains on ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, or sagging roof lines are red flags. For a definitive assessment, we recommend a professional inspection. At Lobb's Roofing, we safely check for both storm damage and underlying structural issues common in our Bangor climate, giving you a complete picture of your roof's health.

Not necessarily, but it's a critical repair. The rotted decking (the wooden layer under the shingles) must be replaced to restore structural integrity. We will remove the shingles over the affected area, replace all compromised wood with new, treated decking, and then re-shingle that section to match your existing roof. However, if the rot is widespread or the shingles are near the end of their lifespan, a full replacement is often the most cost-effective and durable long-term solution for Bangor homeowners.

A 'storm-ready' repair focuses on resilience against high winds and driving rain. We use techniques like sealing all roof penetrations, installing high-wind rated shingles with extra adhesive strips, and reinforcing vulnerable areas like eaves and ridges. For decking, we ensure proper attic ventilation to combat the moisture that leads to rot. Our goal isn't just to fix the visible damage but to fortify your roof against the specific weather patterns we see right here in the Lehigh Valley.
