Roofing contractor in Sherwood for Repairs and Replacements

Dark stains on ceilings or attic decking

A brown ring on the ceiling or dark streaks on the attic sheathing mean water is getting in and has been for a while. The entry point is often several feet away from the stain. Left alone, wet decking rots and the repair gets much bigger.

Shingle granules collecting in gutters

Granules in the gutter mean the shingles are shedding their protective surface. Some loss is normal on a new roof, but heavy granule loss on a roof over 15 years old means the shingles are near the end of their life and hail will finish them off.

Missing or lifted shingles after wind

A few missing shingles after a storm is a repair, not a replacement. But exposed underlayment and open nail holes let water straight into the deck. We tarp or repair quickly so a small wind claim does not turn into interior damage.

Ice dams and icicles at the eaves

Icicles hanging off the gutter line and ice building up at the eaves usually point to warm attic air melting snow on the roof. The meltwater refreezes at the cold edge and backs up under the shingles. Fixing ventilation and insulation solves most of it.

Moss or dark streaks on shaded slopes

Moss holds moisture against the shingle and lifts the edges as it grows. The dark streaks are usually algae, which is cosmetic, but the moss is not. On heavily shaded Sherwood roofs we treat it and clear the debris before it causes rot.
