After this very harsh winter, we observed so issues with our roof (ice dams) that we had not seen previously. We called a number of contractors to come help us understand what was happening, including Blue Nail. Kevin from Blue Nail came out and did a good inspection of our whole roof, including gutter guards that were installed by our home's previous owner over a decade ago.
We came to understand that it was primarily these very intrusive gutter guards that were causing the bilk of the issues, so much so that the guards and ice dams had significantly damaged our roof this past winter, along with the lack of attic ventilation on one side of our home. Kevin and Blue Nail laid out a few options that would resolve the ice dams, including addressing the lack of ventilation causing the ice dams.
We ultimately made the decision to address our whole roof, including ultimately having to replace about 30% of the plywood. All of this was handled with aplomb by the Blue Nail team. Fit and finish of the roof is excellent, and we feel much more confident about future winters after this work. Communication with Kevin was excellent, and work was completed in good time!
