Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
Blistering shingle repair that addresses raised blisters that have popped and exposed the shingle mat.
Blisters form when trapped moisture or gases bubble up within a shingle, and a poorly ventilated Northwest attic makes them more common. When a blister ruptures, it strips away granules and leaves a bare spot that the asphalt mat cannot protect for long in constant rain. Our crews replace shingles with popped blisters and assess whether attic heat and humidity are fueling the problem. Addressing ventilation keeps new blisters from forming across the roof.

Blistering is most noticeable after warm spells, making late summer a good time to inspect and repair affected areas.
