- Why do so many Laconia homes get ice dams, and what do you do about them?
- A lot of Laconia’s housing stock went up in the 1960s and 70s, when attic insulation and ventilation standards were far below today’s. A warm attic melts the underside of the snow load; the meltwater refreezes at the cold eaves and backs up under the shingles. On every roof inspection in Laconia we check the attic, not just the shingles — and every replacement includes ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys (required by NH code) plus a straight answer on whether ventilation or insulation work should happen at the same time.
- How do I know if my Laconia roof needs replacing or just a repair?
- Curling or cupping shingles, granules collecting in the gutters, water stains in the attic, or a roof at the 20-plus-year mark are the usual signs on Laconia’s older homes. If the damage is localized — flashing around a chimney, a few wind-lifted shingles — we repair it and say so. If the roof is failing across the board, we’ll show you why. The inspection and the written estimate are free either way.
