Lovell Roofing and Coatings | Roofing Services in Aliquippa, PA 15001

In our climate, nail pops are often caused by the natural expansion and contraction of your roof decking and framing due to temperature and humidity changes. This movement can push the nails up over time. We fix this by carefully removing the popped nail, sealing the old hole with roofing cement, and driving a new, longer roofing nail or screw into a solid section of the decking. We then seal the new fastener and replace any damaged shingles to ensure a watertight repair.

Signs of deck rot include a spongy feeling when walking on the roof, sagging areas, visible water stains on your ceilings, or a musty smell in your attic. If we suspect rot during an inspection, we'll carefully remove the shingles and underlayment in that area to assess the decking. Damaged wood is cut out and replaced with new, treated plywood or OSB. We then re-install underlayment and shingles, blending the repair seamlessly with your existing roof to restore its strength and integrity.

Absolutely. For many roofs in Aliquippa, applying a reflective, elastomeric coating is an excellent preventative measure. This specialized coating seals around existing fasteners to help prevent future nail pops, provides an extra waterproof barrier to protect the decking from moisture intrusion, and reflects UV rays to reduce thermal stress on the roof structure. We can evaluate if your roof is a good candidate for a coating, which can significantly extend its life and improve energy efficiency.
