West Side Roofing Supply | Roofing Services in Frankfort, KY 40601

Nail pops in Frankfort are often caused by our climate's expansion and contraction of roof decking. While a temporary fix can be made with sealant, a proper repair involves carefully driving a new, slightly longer roofing nail next to the popped one and sealing both the old and new nail heads with a high-quality roofing cement. We can provide you with the correct nails and sealants, along with guidance on safely performing the repair to prevent future leaks.

Those black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that thrives in our humid Kentucky climate. It's not just cosmetic; it can degrade roofing granules over time. We carry specialized, roof-safe algae cleaners that are effective without damaging your shingles. It's crucial to use a product designed for roofing materials and to follow proper low-pressure cleaning techniques to avoid harming the roof's surface.

For common local repairs like sealing around vents or fixing a few shingles, we recommend starting with roofing cement (in caulk tubes for precision), matching architectural or 3-tab asphalt shingles, roofing nails of the correct length, and a pry bar for careful removal. Bring a sample or photo of your existing shingle to our Frankfort location, and we'll help you match it and ensure you have everything needed for a durable, weather-tight fix.
