S & R Roofing | Roofing Services in Philadelphia, PA 19140

In our area, underlayment damage is often caused by prolonged moisture exposure from humidity, ice dams, or small, undetected leaks. This felt or synthetic layer beneath your shingles is crucial for waterproofing. S & R Roofing performs detailed inspections to identify compromised underlayment. We then perform precise repairs or, if necessary, a full replacement during a reroofing project, using high-quality, moisture-resistant materials to restore your roof's primary defense barrier.

Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages, but excessive loss, common here due to sun exposure and thermal cycling, exposes the asphalt shingle to UV rays, speeding up deterioration. It's a sign your roof's protective layer is wearing thin. S & R Roofing can assess the extent of the loss. If caught early, targeted repairs might suffice. If advanced, we can discuss a replacement with high-quality, algae-resistant shingles better suited to our local climate to extend your roof's lifespan.

We view the roof as an integrated system. When addressing granule loss with a repair or replacement, we never overlook the underlayment—the critical second layer of defense. Our process ensures that if shingles are replaced, the underlayment beneath is also inspected and upgraded if needed. This comprehensive, 'whole-roof' approach, using materials we trust for Philadelphia weather, solves the visible symptom (granules) and the hidden risk (underlayment), providing complete, long-term protection for your investment.
