Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof's temperature even. For Evansville homes, we often recommend a combination of sealing air leaks, adding insulation, and installing specialized waterproof underlayment at the eaves during a roof replacement. This layered approach addresses the root cause—heat escaping from your attic—and is more effective than temporary solutions.

In our Evansville climate, shingle curling is often caused by moisture absorption from high humidity or poor attic ventilation, which leads to heat buildup. It's a sign the shingles are aging and losing their protective granules. While minor curling might be monitored, widespread curling compromises your roof's ability to shed water and can lead to leaks. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent and discuss repair or replacement options.

It depends on the extent and underlying cause. For isolated damage from a single ice dam or a small area of curled shingles, a targeted repair is often sufficient. However, if the issues are widespread or stem from systemic problems like inadequate ventilation, a partial or full replacement may be the more cost-effective, long-term solution. We provide a thorough, honest assessment to recommend the smartest fix for your specific situation and budget.
