Roof Repair Across Cardinal Greenway Trailhead Area, Losantville

Properties along the Cardinal Greenway corridor on the northwest side of town were built primarily in the early to mid 20th century, so most original roofs have been replaced at least once, but second generation asphalt shingles installed in the 1990s or early 2000s are now approaching or past their rated service life. The former CSX rail bed that the trail follows created a slightly elevated grade that channels wind and, during severe storm events, can funnel debris from open fields toward adjacent rooftops. This area's combination of older roof ages and exposure to the flat agricultural terrain around it makes it a consistent candidate for post storm inspection after the hail and straight line wind events that regularly reach Randolph County.

Emergency calls out of Cardinal Greenway Trailhead Area are triaged by severity, tarped or dried in during the same visit where weather allows, and returned to the schedule for permanent work once the roof is safe to walk on again.
