Exposed nail heads might sound like a minor issue, but they're one of the most common causes of roof leaks Reborn Roofing LLC encounters during roof inspections across the Memphis metro. When roofing nails are driven into pipe boot flashings, dormer flashings, or step flashings, they create penetration points that must be sealed with caulk to prevent water intrusion. Over time, that sealant deteriorates from UV exposure, thermal cycling, and the Mid-South's humidity or in many cases, it was never properly applied during the original roof installation. Water finds its way under those nail heads and slowly works into the roof deck and eventually your home's interior. We find exposed nail heads on virtually every roof we inspect across Collierville, Germantown, East Memphis, and Cordova. Our roof tune-up service addresses this directly we seal every exposed nail head, nail down loose flashings, and repair minor shingle damage. At $799 as a standalone service, or included free with every Roof Maxx treatment, it's one of the most cost-effective forms of roof maintenance available to Memphis-area homeowners.
