Montealvo Roofing | Roofing Services in Kenner, LA 70065

A leaking roof valley is a serious issue common in our area due to heavy rain. The most reliable fix typically involves a professional assessment to determine if the underlying flashing is compromised. We carefully remove the affected shingles, install new, corrosion-resistant valley metal flashing, and then re-shingle with a proper waterproof seal. A temporary patch won't hold, so a permanent, code-compliant repair is essential to prevent interior water damage.

Some granule loss is normal as shingles age, especially after a storm, but excessive loss in Kenner's sun and heat can signal accelerated wear. It reduces the shingle's UV protection and shortens its lifespan. We recommend an inspection to gauge the extent. Often, targeted repairs in the most affected areas can extend your roof's life, but if the loss is widespread, a replacement discussion may be necessary to protect your home's structure.

The decision hinges on the roof's age, the extent of damage (like leaks or granule loss), and the cost of repeated repairs. For localized issues like one leaky valley or a small section of granule loss, a repair is often sufficient. However, if your roof is nearing the end of its warranty, has multiple leaks, or shows widespread deterioration, a replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. We provide a thorough, honest assessment to help you make the right choice for your home and budget.
