SC Roofing & Siding | Carpenters & Roofing in Nantucket, MA 02554

The salt air and strong winds here can accelerate granule loss and wear on the underlayment. During our inspections, we specifically check for these signs of premature aging. For granule loss, we assess if it's indicative of general wear requiring repair or spot replacement. For compromised underlayment, which is critical for moisture protection, we recommend and perform timely repairs or replacement as part of a reroofing project to ensure your roof's core structure remains sound.

Our roof inspection is a thorough visual and hands-on assessment. We check for leaks, damaged or missing shingles, the condition of flashings and vents, and the integrity of the underlayment. We also evaluate the overall structure, gutters, and look for any moss or algae growth common in our climate. After the inspection, we provide a detailed report with photos and clear recommendations for any necessary repairs, maintenance like cleaning, or a plan for future replacement.

Yes, our carpentry and roofing expertise allows us to coordinate such projects efficiently. When replacing siding, we can assess the roof area for a potential skylight installation, ensuring the new skylight is properly flashed and integrated with the roofing system to prevent leaks. This coordinated approach saves time and ensures both elements work together to improve your home's weather protection and aesthetics.
