Shieldworks | Roofing Services in Lexington, KY 40502

We prevent roof deck rot by starting with a thorough inspection of your existing decking. Any soft or compromised wood is replaced to create a solid, dry foundation. We then install a premium synthetic underlayment that acts as a secondary water barrier, protecting the deck from any incidental moisture. This meticulous approach during a new installation is the best long-term defense against the rot common in our local climate.

For homes in Lexington dealing with dark algae streaks, we install high-quality shingles with built-in algae resistance, such as those with copper granule caps. These shingles actively inhibit the growth of Gloeocapsa magma, the algae common in our humid area. During the replacement, we also ensure proper attic ventilation to reduce surface moisture, giving you a cleaner-looking roof that stays that way for years.

A full replacement allows us to address the root cause of both problems comprehensively. We remove all old materials to inspect and repair any hidden deck rot, ensuring structural integrity. Then, we install a modern, algae-resistant roof system with improved ventilation. This one-time solution not only fixes existing damage but upgrades your home's protection against the specific moisture and biological challenges we face in Lexington.
