Roof repair and maintenance in Camas, WA
Wind damage, granule loss, cracked pipe boots and moss lifting shingles, looked at by estimators with 20+ years in the trade.
Four signs a roof is asking for a repair
Wind damage does not only happen to old roofs. On a newer roof it may be due to an incorrectly installed roof or failing/cheap products, which is why the estimator looks at how the roof went on as well as at what the wind did to it.
Granule Loss is the second sign. Granules collecting in your gutters mean the shingles are deteriorating. If the estimator determines it is a recalled product, Gregg Roofing can help with the claim process for a nominal fee.
Cracked pipe boots or roof vents are easy to miss from the ground. Look for cracks, broken seals, rusted fasteners and debris build up. Give the office a call and they can be repaired or replaced.

Moss, and the cheap cleaning that turns expensive
Moss accumulation looks harmless from the driveway. As moss grows it can lift shingles, which leaves the roof susceptible to leaks and eventually causes rot to the roof sheathing.
What was once a cheap cleaning can become an expensive repair in the matter of a couple months. That is why the company's estimators explain what they see while they are up there: the aim is that you know how to prevent the next mistake, not just that this one gets fixed.
After a storm, and when a repair is enough
Customers describe how the office handles a bad week. One homeowner with a small leak after heavy rain called and emailed, and the office returned the call quickly and sent an experienced field technician who arrived within two hours of the call. That was their experience, not a promise about every call.
Another, after a severe ice and wind storm, wrote that the team was very responsive to their emergency needs and that the office staff helped provide the information their homeowners insurance company needed.
A repair is not always a re-roof. A third customer wrote that Josh came out, looked at the situation and came up with a creative solution that did not involve tearing off the existing shingles, and pointed out several areas that needed special attention to keep the roof in good shape.

Repair is one of four lines of work at Gregg Roofing. If an estimator finds a roof is past repairing, the conversation turns to laminated shingle re-roofs or standing-seam metal. Business owners can read what is covered under small commercial roofing. To start with any of it, send the office a note and an estimator will set a time to inspect and measure.
