R & R Roofing Contrctng | Roofing Services in Baldwinsville, NY 13027

In our area, shingle curling is often caused by moisture absorption and the freeze-thaw cycles common in Central New York. This can compromise your roof's ability to shed water. At R & R Roofing Contrctng, we perform a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the damage. For localized curling, we can often perform precise repairs or targeted shingle replacement. If the issue is widespread, we'll provide a clear assessment and discuss more comprehensive solutions to restore your roof's integrity.

Safely removing moss requires a gentle, non-abrasive approach to avoid damaging the underlying shingles. We use specialized low-pressure cleaning solutions that kill the moss at the root and allow it to be rinsed away. It's crucial to avoid high-pressure washing, which can force water under shingles and strip away protective granules. After cleaning, we can apply a zinc or copper treatment strip near the ridge to help prevent future moss growth, a common issue in our shaded, damp neighborhoods.

The decision depends on the age of your roof and the extent of damage from issues like moss or curling. Minor, isolated damage from a storm or a small moss patch often warrants a repair. However, if your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles) and you're experiencing widespread curling, leaks, or persistent moss growth, a replacement may be the more cost-effective, long-term solution. We provide a detailed, honest evaluation to help you make the best choice for your home and budget.
