Company Overview

Summers Excavating & Roofing is a Lafayette-based contractor specializing in protecting local homes from common roofing problems. We directly address the specific issues many homeowners face, such as poor roof ventilation and shingle granule loss. Inadequate ventilation can lead to moisture buildup, mold, and reduced energy efficiency, while granule loss accelerates shingle aging and compromises protection. Our team provides expert inspections, identifies the root cause of these issues, and performs precise repairs or full roof replacements using durable materials suited to Indiana's climate. We are dedicated to strengthening Lafayette homes, one roof at a time, with honest assessments and reliable workmanship.

Q&A

I'm noticing a lot of granules in my gutters. Is my roof failing, and what should I do?

Granule loss is a common sign of aging asphalt shingles in Lafayette, often accelerated by our weather. While some loss is normal, excessive amounts can mean your roof's protective layer is wearing thin, leading to faster deterioration and potential leaks. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage. We can determine if targeted repairs are sufficient or if a replacement is needed to ensure your home stays protected.

My attic feels extremely hot and stuffy. Could this be a roof ventilation problem?

Absolutely. Poor roof ventilation is a frequent issue here and can trap heat and moisture in your attic. This not only makes your home less energy-efficient, driving up cooling costs, but can also lead to moisture damage, mold growth, and premature aging of your roof deck and shingles. We can evaluate your current ventilation system and install solutions like ridge vents or soffit vents to promote proper airflow and protect your home's structure.

How does a full roof replacement with Summers help with these specific Lafayette issues?

A replacement is an opportunity to solve these problems at their source. We don't just install new shingles; we design a complete roofing system tailored to our local climate. This includes installing high-quality, impact-resistant shingles with strong granule adhesion and integrating a balanced ventilation system from the start. This proactive approach directly combats granule loss and heat/moisture buildup, extending the life of your new roof and improving your home's overall health and efficiency.
