The Problem is the method.
In a place like Cashiers, where rain falls heavy and often, the last thing you want is a roof that wasn’t done right the first time.
At Loxley Roofing, we’ve seen it all — curling shingles, leaky flashing, rotted decking — and more often than not, the problem isn’t the material. It’s the method.
Poor Installation: The Silent Killer
Most homes in Cashiers were built during building booms in the late 90s or early 2010s. Construction moved fast, and many roofing jobs were rushed by crews who weren’t trained roofers. The result? Roofs that look fine from the ground but fail under pressure.
Some of the most common installation issues we uncover:
- Nailed too high or under-nailed shingles
- Improper underlayment for a wet mountain climate
- Flashing shortcuts (especially around chimneys & valleys)
- No ventilation = premature rot from the inside out
- All of these lead to one thing: early roof failure.
The Cashiers Rainforest Demands Better
Our mountain climate is one-of-a-kind — mossy, humid, and stormy. And that means your roof can’t be average. It needs to breathe well, drain well, and last through decades of weather shifts.
At Loxley, we only install using methods we’d trust over our own heads:
- Hand-nailed precision
- Premium ice & water shield for all valleys and eaves
- Custom flashing built onsite
- Proper ventilation and water flow planning
- Clean job sites that respect your home and land
One Roof. Done Right.
We believe you should only have to think about your roof once. That’s why we do it right, down to every detail — because roofing isn’t just about shingles. It’s about trust.
So if you’ve noticed a leak, a soft spot, or even just want to make sure your second home is protected for the long haul — let’s talk.
