Stop Roof Leaks Before Damage Spreads

Roof installation and replacement services for homeowners in Owensboro, Madisonville, and throughout Western Kentucky.

A roof that leaks during heavy rain or shows missing shingles after a storm needs attention before water reaches your ceilings and insulation. Homeowners in Owensboro, Madisonville, and throughout Western Kentucky deal with wind-driven rain and occasional hail that can lift shingles or crack sealant, and once that happens, moisture works its way under the roofing material and into the decking below. You'll often notice stains on your ceiling or damp spots in the attic before you see the actual damage on the roof itself.

Elite Installation Services replaces old roofs and installs new ones using asphalt shingles or premium materials like architectural shingles and metal roofing. Standard three-tab shingles cost less and work well for most homes in Sacramento, while architectural shingles offer better wind resistance and a longer warranty. The crew includes certified roofers trained to meet manufacturer specifications, so your warranty stays valid and the roof performs as expected.

If your Western Kentucky roof is showing signs of wear or storm damage, schedule a free roof inspection to assess what needs to be done.

What happens during a full roof replacement

The crew begins by removing your existing shingles down to the decking, checking for soft spots or rot that need repair before new material goes on. In Western Kentucky, this often reveals areas near valleys or chimneys where water pooled and weakened the wood. Any damaged decking gets replaced with plywood or OSB, and then a waterproof underlayment is rolled out and fastened across the entire roof surface.

Once the roof is complete, you'll have a watertight seal that keeps rain and snow out, even during heavy storms. Shingles are nailed in overlapping rows starting at the eaves, and ridge caps cover the peak to prevent wind from lifting edges. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is replaced or resealed to stop leaks at penetrations.

The project includes removing old shingles, nails, and debris from your property using a magnetic roller to pick up metal fasteners that fall into the grass. Roofing work does not include gutter replacement or soffit repair unless those services are added separately.

Common concerns before scheduling a roof replacement

Most homeowners want to know how long they'll be without a roof, what happens if it rains during the project, and whether their current damage is repairable or requires full replacement. Here's what to expect.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs in Sacramento are finished within one to three days depending on size and complexity. Steep pitches or multiple dormers add time, but the crew works to keep your home sealed each night.
What happens if it rains during installation?
The underlayment acts as a temporary waterproof barrier, so your home stays protected even if shingles aren't finished. Crews monitor weather forecasts closely and pause work during active rain to avoid slipping hazards.
Why do roofs fail near chimneys and valleys?
Water concentrates in valleys and around chimneys, so flashing and sealant wear out faster in those areas. Replacing flashing during a roof replacement prevents leaks from starting in the spots most likely to fail.
When should I replace my roof instead of patching it?
If your roof is over 20 years old or if shingles are curling across multiple sections, replacement makes more sense than ongoing repairs. Isolated damage from a storm can often be patched if the rest of the roof is still in good shape.
What roof materials handle wind and hail best?
Architectural shingles resist wind uplift better than three-tab shingles and carry higher impact ratings for hail. Metal roofing deflects hail entirely and lasts longer, though it costs more upfront.
