Protect Your Home From Water Damage

Full roof replacements and leak repairs for Winston-Salem homeowners dealing with storm damage and aging roofing systems.

Your roof takes direct hits from wind, rain, and seasonal changes throughout Winston-Salem, and over time those conditions leave visible marks. You might notice missing shingles after a storm, water stains spreading across your ceiling, or granules collecting in your gutters as the protective layer wears away. J.A. Roofing & Construction works throughout Winston-Salem addressing these issues with full roof replacements and targeted repairs that stop leaks and restore the barrier your home depends on.

With more than 15 years working in North Carolina weather conditions, the team understands how moisture, heat, and sudden temperature shifts affect roofing materials. A full replacement involves removing damaged layers, inspecting the decking for rot or soft spots, and installing new shingles using proven methods that account for local wind patterns and rainfall intensity. Targeted repairs address specific problem areas such as flashing around chimneys, damaged valleys, or punctures from fallen branches without the cost of a complete tear-off.

J.A. Roofing & Construction offers clear estimates and efficient scheduling for homeowners in Winston-Salem ready to address roofing concerns before they spread.

What Happens During a Roof Replacement

The work begins with removing existing shingles and underlayment down to the roof deck, which allows the crew to inspect for water damage, sagging sections, or areas that need reinforcement before new materials go down. In Winston-Salem, where older homes often have multiple layers already installed, this step prevents future problems that patching alone cannot solve. New underlayment acts as a secondary moisture barrier, and the shingles are nailed in rows with careful alignment to prevent wind lift and water infiltration.

Once the installation is complete, you will see uniform coverage with no exposed edges, clean lines along ridges and eaves, and properly sealed flashing that directs water away from vulnerable joints. Your attic will stay dry during heavy rain, and the risk of interior damage from leaks drops significantly.

The crew hauls away old materials and checks the site for loose nails or debris that could damage your lawn or driveway. If only a section of your roof needs attention, targeted repairs follow the same careful inspection and sealing process, focusing on the damaged area while leaving the rest of the system intact. This approach works well for homes with newer roofs that have taken localized damage from a recent storm or fallen limb.

Questions About Your Roof Are Welcome

Homeowners often want to know what the work will involve, how long it will take, and whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for their situation, so the answers below address the questions that come up most often before scheduling.

Sticky note with a question mark.
How do I know if I need a full replacement or just repairs?
If your roof is approaching 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, or shows multiple leak points, a replacement usually makes more sense than patching individual spots. A visual inspection can determine which option will give you the most years of protection.

What does J.A. Roofing & Construction do to prepare the roof deck?
The crew removes all old shingles and checks the decking for soft spots, rot, or warping. Any damaged sections are replaced with new plywood before underlayment and shingles go down, which keeps the structure solid and prevents sagging.

What happens if it rains during the installation?
The crew covers exposed areas with tarps and pauses work until conditions are safe. Scheduling accounts for forecast windows, and you are notified if weather delays the planned start date.

Why does flashing matter so much?
Flashing seals the joints where your roof meets chimneys, vents, and walls, which are the most common spots for leaks. Proper installation and sealing at these points prevents water from running under shingles and into your attic.
