Tester & Sons Roofing | Roofing Services in Boone, NC 28607

In our High Country climate, ridge cap damage is common. Key signs include cracked, curled, or missing shingles along the peak of your roof, granules collecting in gutters below the ridge, or visible gaps. After heavy wind or snow, it's wise to check for these issues, as a compromised ridge cap can lead to leaks and interior damage. We offer free inspections to assess the integrity of your roof's ridge.

This depends on the shingle's condition and extent of damage. For localized issues on a roof under 15-20 years old, a repair is often sufficient. However, if you're finding widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or extensive curling/cracking across the roof surface—common with age in our variable weather—a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and reliable. We'll provide a transparent evaluation to help you decide.

We use techniques and materials specifically chosen for durability in snow, ice, and wind. This includes proper ice and water shield installation in vulnerable areas, ensuring adequate attic ventilation to prevent ice dams, and using high-wind rated shingles with secure fastening. Our goal is to not just fix the immediate problem but to fortify your roof against future Boone winters.
