That'll DO Painting & Roofing | Roofing Services in Southwest Harbor, ME 04679

Nail pops are common here due to our extreme temperature swings and high humidity, which cause the roof decking to expand and contract. We don't just hammer them back down—that's a temporary fix. Our approach involves removing the popped nail, inspecting the surrounding deck for damage, and securing the shingle with a new, corrosion-resistant nail sealed with a durable roofing cement to prevent future leaks and pops.

Yes, rusting flashing is a serious concern in Southwest Harbor. Salt air accelerates corrosion, which can quickly compromise the critical seals around chimneys, vents, and valleys. We assess the extent of the rust and typically recommend replacing compromised sections with high-grade, galvanized or aluminum flashing. Proper installation is key; we ensure new flashing is integrated seamlessly with your existing roof system to restore a watertight barrier against our driving rain and snow.

For longevity in our climate, we strongly recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles (Class 4 rated) for their durability against hail and wind, or standing seam metal roofs for superior snow shedding and corrosion resistance. Both options are excellent for addressing our local issues. We use high-quality, rust-resistant fasteners and underlayment systems specifically designed to manage the moisture and thermal stress common in the Southwest Harbor area.
