Maldonado Roofing | Painters & Roofing in Saint Louis, MO 63116

Nail pops in Saint Louis are often caused by the wood in your roof deck expanding and contracting with our seasonal temperature swings. We don't just hammer them back down, as that's a temporary fix. Our proper repair involves carefully removing the popped nail, securing the shingle with a new, corrosion-resistant nail placed in a different location, and sealing it with roofing cement. This addresses the root cause and prevents future leaks and shingle damage.

Flashing—the metal strips around chimneys, vents, and valleys—can lift due to St. Louis wind storms and improper installation. Lifted flashing is a major leak risk. We inspect all flashing during roof repairs or replacements. Our repair involves carefully removing the compromised section, replacing any corroded metal, and re-securing it with new, high-grade sealant and nails. For a permanent solution, we often recommend integrating new flashing directly under the shingles during a roof replacement.

Absolutely. Proper gutters are your roof's first line of defense. In Saint Louis, clogged or damaged gutters cause water to back up under shingles and against your fascia, worsening both nail pops and flashing failures. Our gutter cleaning, repair, and installation services ensure water is channeled safely away from your roof and foundation. Well-installed gutters protect your roof's edge and the critical flashing points, directly contributing to a longer-lasting roof.
