Your Macdoel Roofing Experts
A significant portion of homes in Macdoel were built between 1955 and 1985 — a period when roofing materials and installation standards were different from today's code requirements. The original organic felt underlayment on these roofs is long past its service life. The galvanized steel flashing has typically corroded through at one or more points. The 3-tab shingles, if original, have exceeded their design life by a decade or more. We've inspected enough Siskiyou County homes from this era to know what we're likely to find — and what it means for the homeowner.
We've been working in Macdoel and the surrounding area long enough to have re-roofed homes we originally inspected years ago. That continuity is what local reputation looks like in practice.
A 1972-vintage Macdoel home carries a roof that has been through 54 years of Siskiyou County weather cycles. Freeze-thaw stress, UV degradation, and repeated precipitation events affect every component of the roofing system cumulatively. The visible surface of an aging roof routinely understates the actual condition of the underlayment, decking, and flashing below it — professional assessment reaches what a visual check from the ground cannot.
