Understanding Granule Loss in Roof Shingles?
The amount of damage in a roof can make you think if you should go
Somers' roof repair patterns reflect the town's housing variety. On converted lake bungalows and cottages in Shenorock, Lincolndale, and Lake Purdys, ice dam damage on low-pitched or flat rooflines is a recurring problem — lake-adjacent humidity and the original minimal ventilation of seasonal construction create conditions where ice backup is more active than on properly ventilated year-round homes. On postwar colonials and ranches throughout the town, chimney flashing failures and aging shingle systems are the more familiar story. On Somers' larger, newer homes on wooded lots, branch impacts from large mature trees are a more frequent damage source than in more open suburban communities.
Meridian Contracting traces every Somers roof leak to its actual source and repairs it there.
We trace leaks to their actual source — chimney flashing failure, ice dam backup in lake community bungalows, branch-impact damage, or aging shingles — and repair at that point.

Repair for lifted shingles and branch impacts from the large mature trees on Somers' wooded lots, with insurance documentation when needed.
A written assessment of condition and needed repairs — valuable on Somers' converted seasonal structures and older postwar homes where multiple systems may need simultaneous attention.

Leaky ceilings are no less than an emergency situation that demands immediate attention. Even a
Roof inspection means having the roof checked regularly so that small problems can be detected
Original seasonal construction typically has minimal insulation and ventilation — when used year-round, heat escapes through the roof, melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves, and backs up under shingles.
