Wind is the number one problem in Park County
Livingston regularly sees gusts that would make the national news anywhere else. Those winds funnel out of Paradise Valley and hit roofs at the edges first — rake, ridge, and eave. Once the wind gets under one course of shingles it peels the next one, and by the time you notice from the ground you've lost a whole section.
- Wind-lifted, creased, and missing shingles
- Ridge cap and rake edge re-securing with upgraded fastening
- Leak tracing from ceiling stains back to the actual entry point
- Chimney, sidewall, skylight, and pipe boot flashing
- Hail damage documented for an insurance claim
- Emergency tarping when water is coming in tonight
Older housing stock, older roofs
Downtown Livingston and the neighborhoods around it have a lot of homes built long before modern underlayment and ventilation practices. We see original 3-tab shingles nailed straight to plank decking, no ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, and attics with almost no intake ventilation. Repairs on those roofs need someone who knows what they're looking at — a patch over a ventilation problem just moves the leak.
What a free Livingston inspection includes
We walk the roof or fly the drone, photograph every problem area, check the attic side when we can get to it, and email you a plain-English report with the photos. No fee and no pressure. If a repair will buy you another eight years, we'll say so.
Where we work around Livingston
Downtown and the north side, the neighborhoods off Park Street and Bennett, the newer builds toward the airport, Paradise Valley up the Yellowstone, Pine Creek and Pray, and the acreages out toward Clyde Park.
