Martin Contracting and Roofing | Roofing Services in Alva, OK 73717

In Alva, common signs include visible rust or white corrosion on the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys, water stains on interior ceilings or walls near these areas, and granules from your shingles accumulating in gutters. We recommend a professional inspection, as early corrosion can be hard to spot but leads to leaks and deck rot if left unchecked.

Roof deck rot in Alva is typically caused by prolonged moisture intrusion from small, undetected leaks—often due to corroded flashing or wind-driven rain. Once we identify rot during an inspection, the affected decking sections must be removed and replaced to restore structural integrity. We then address the source of the moisture and ensure proper ventilation to prevent future issues.

We recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles paired with corrosion-resistant, aluminum or galvanized steel flashing. This combination offers durability against our hail and wind while combating the specific corrosion issue. For decking, we use quality plywood or OSB and ensure it's properly sealed and ventilated during installation to mitigate rot risk from Oklahoma's humidity and rainfall.
