Your Home Deserves Lasting Roof and Siding Care

If you own a home in Ashland, you know how unpredictable weather patterns can wear down roofing materials and cause siding to crack or fade over time. When shingles begin lifting or exterior paint starts peeling away from wood trim, the structure underneath becomes vulnerable to moisture intrusion and rot. Herrings Roofing And Painting works throughout Ashland to address these issues before they lead to more expensive repairs down the road.

Roof replacement involves removing old shingles or metal panels, inspecting the decking for damage, and installing new materials that meet current building standards. Siding installation covers damaged or outdated sections with weather-resistant panels that seal gaps and protect interior walls. Interior and exterior painting refreshes surfaces while adding a protective barrier against humidity and sun exposure. Direct metal coating extends the lifespan of metal roofs by sealing seams and preventing oxidation.

If your Ashland home shows signs of roof wear or fading paint, reach out to discuss which service best fits your timeline and budget.

When you schedule roof replacement in Ashland, the crew arrives with tear-off tools, underlayment rolls, and new shingles or metal panels selected for local weather conditions. They strip away old materials, examine wood decking for soft spots, and replace damaged sections before laying down synthetic underlayment and fastening the new roof layer by layer. Siding installation follows a similar process, removing old panels and wrapping the exterior with moisture barriers before securing new siding with corrosion-resistant fasteners.

Once the work is complete, you will notice that water runs off the roof without pooling, siding panels sit flush without gaps, and painted surfaces look uniform without streaks or exposed wood grain. Direct metal coating forms a seamless membrane over existing metal roofs, closing small leaks and preventing rust from spreading across panels.

Each project includes a walkthrough to confirm that flashing is sealed around chimneys and vents, trim boards are caulked, and cleanup leaves no nails or debris in the yard. Interior painting covers walls and ceilings with two coats, hiding stains and evening out color across rooms. Exterior painting protects wood and fiber cement siding from moisture while improving curb appeal with colors that hold up under sun exposure.

Before scheduling any work on your roof, siding, or exterior surfaces, it helps to know what the process involves, how long it takes, and what you should prepare for on your property.

How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements in Ashland take one to three days, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather conditions. The crew completes tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment installation, and shingle or metal panel placement in that window.

What is direct metal coating and when is it needed?
Direct metal coating is a liquid-applied membrane that bonds to existing metal roofs, sealing seams and preventing rust without removing the original panels. You need it when metal roofs show surface oxidation or small leaks but the underlying structure remains sound.

Why does siding need to be replaced?
Siding replacement becomes necessary when panels crack, warp, or pull away from the house, allowing water to reach the sheathing and insulation. You will see rot around windows, mold growth on interior walls, or higher energy bills as gaps form.

What preparation is required before exterior painting?
Before painting begins, the crew pressure washes all surfaces to remove dirt and mildew, scrapes loose paint, fills cracks with caulk, and primes bare wood. This prep work ensures the new paint adheres properly and lasts through seasonal temperature swings.

How do I know if my roof needs replacement or just repair?
If more than 25 percent of your shingles are curling, missing, or showing granule loss, replacement is usually more practical than patching individual sections. A roof inspection identifies whether isolated damage can be repaired or if the entire system has reached the end of its service life.
