R&J Construction | Roofing Services in Somerset, KY 42503

In Somerset, shingle curling is often caused by moisture trapped in the attic from our humid climate, poor attic ventilation, or simply aging materials. Curled shingles can't shed water properly, leading to leaks. R&J Construction will inspect your roof and attic to identify the root cause. Our fix may involve repairing or replacing damaged shingles and, critically, improving your attic ventilation to prevent the issue from recurring, ensuring your roof performs as it should.

Those dark streaks or stains are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, which is common in our humid Kentucky environment. While it starts as a cosmetic issue, it can trap moisture against the shingles, accelerating granule loss and shortening their lifespan. R&J Construction offers professional roof cleaning services that safely remove algae without damaging your shingles. We can also install zinc or copper strips at the roof's peak, which provide a long-term solution by preventing algae growth with rainwater runoff.

As your local experts, we recommend a replacement if your roof is near the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles), if there is widespread curling or missing shingles, or if you have multiple leaks. For isolated issues like a few damaged shingles or a small leak, a repair is often sufficient. R&J Construction provides a honest, detailed assessment. We'll clearly explain your options, so you can make an informed decision that protects your home and investment.
