Common Roof Issues We Fix

When we inspect a roof in Newport, these are the usual suspects.

  • Granule loss. Check your gutters: that grit is your roof wearing away.
  • Wind and fallen limbs. Lifted or missing shingles and punctures from branches.
  • An old caulk job. We undo these more often than you'd think.
  • No ice and water shield. It protects the edges and valleys when ice or wind-driven rain backs up.
  • Decking that's out of code. Roughly one home in five that we re-roof needs new sheathing.
