ONCE OVER ROOFING | Roofing Services in Rochester, NY 14606

In Rochester, ridge cap damage is often caused by high winds, heavy snow loads, and the freeze-thaw cycle, which can break seals and dislodge shingles. Our repair process involves a careful inspection of the entire ridge line. We remove the damaged caps, replace any compromised underlayment, and install new, high-quality ridge caps with proper sealing to restore your roof's critical ventilation and weatherproofing barrier.

Nail pops are common here due to the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking with our seasonal temperature swings. While a few may seem minor, they create openings for water infiltration, which can lead to leaks and wood rot over time. ONCE OVER ROOFING addresses this by safely extracting the popped nails, resecuring the shingles with proper, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and sealing the area to prevent future moisture damage.

We recommend a visual check from the ground after major storms and during seasonal changes. Look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles along the roof's peak (ridge). For nail pops, you might see shiny nail heads or small bumps lifting the shingles. Inside your attic, watch for daylight peeking through the roof boards or any signs of moisture. If you see these signs, it's time for a professional assessment to prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs.
