Kearney rooflines at a glance

Kearney is a small town that has taken on a lot of commuter growth, giving it an older core and a ring of newer subdivisions. The newer housing is contemporary suburban with moderate roof complexity; the older housing in town is simple and modest with long repair histories.

What fails on Kearney roofs

The newer subdivision roofs here are mostly in the ten to twenty year band, which is where installation quality starts to reveal itself. Roofs installed well are unremarkable at fifteen years. Roofs installed poorly begin shedding shingles, backing nails, or showing sealant failures. The difference is almost entirely workmanship, not product.

Storm season in Kearney

Northern Clay County exposure, with open ground and a clean storm approach. Kearney is far enough out that after a metro-wide event the local crews are stretched, which is when out-of-area operations move in.

Asked in Kearney

What is nail pop and why does it happen?

It is a fastener backing out of the decking and pushing up through the shingle above it. It comes from decking movement, from nails driven at an angle, or from nails that never fully seated. Each popped nail is a hole in the roof, and they are easy to fix if caught.

Do you charge for a second opinion?

No. If another contractor has told you that you need a new roof and you want it verified, we will look and tell you what we see. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we do not.

How often should a roof be inspected?

Every couple of years is reasonable, and after any significant storm regardless of timing. Inspections are free from us, and the value is catching a twenty dollar problem before it becomes a two thousand dollar one.
