Often, the first sign is a spongy or soft feeling when walking on the roof, especially after rain. You might also notice interior water stains on ceilings or in the attic, or sagging roof lines. In Manton, this rot is typically caused by trapped moisture from ice dams or compromised flashing. It's crucial to address it quickly, as it can compromise your roof's structural integrity. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage.

Manton's freeze-thaw cycles are tough on flashing. The metal expands and contracts, which can loosen seals and cause separation at chimneys, vents, and valleys. We repair this by carefully removing the compromised sections, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing with proper sealing techniques. For a long-term fix, we often recommend upgrading to more durable materials suited for our climate to prevent the same issue from recurring.

In many cases, yes, if the damage is localized. Our process involves removing the affected shingles, cutting out the rotted decking, and replacing it with new, treated plywood. We then re-install the underlayment and shingles to match your existing roof. However, if the rot is widespread or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a replacement may be the more cost-effective and secure option. We'll provide a straightforward assessment and recommendation.
