RoofCo Rhode Island | Roofing Services in Cranston, RI 02831

The underlayment is a critical moisture barrier beneath your shingles. In our coastal climate with heavy rain and snow, a compromised underlayment can lead to hidden leaks and rot in the roof deck. During our inspections, we pay special attention to this layer, especially around valleys and penetrations. If we find damage, we use high-quality, synthetic underlayments designed to withstand Rhode Island's wet conditions, ensuring a dry and secure roof for years to come.

Our comprehensive inspection is the foundation of any good roofing plan. We conduct a thorough, hands-on assessment of your entire roof system. This includes checking shingles for wear or damage, examining flashings around chimneys and vents, evaluating the condition of the gutters and downspouts, and inspecting the attic for proper ventilation and signs of moisture. We then provide you with a clear, detailed report and honest recommendations, whether it's a simple repair or a discussion about a future replacement.

This is a common question. The need for repair versus replacement depends on the extent of damage, the age of your roof, and the condition of the underlying structure. Isolated issues like a few missing shingles or a small leak around a skylight are often repairable. However, widespread wear, multiple leaks, or significant storm damage across large sections typically indicate a replacement is more cost-effective and reliable in the long run. We'll help you understand all factors so you can make an informed decision for your home.
