Roofs are an incredibly important part of any home – with their large surface area, they are one of the most significant lines of defense standing between you, your family and the outside elements.

​

Here is where things get dicey. Any roof issue is immediately more complicated – a crack in a wall or some siding can be ignored, a crack in a roof is a leak causing water damage. Any damage to your roof will eventually spiral out of control – responding immediately is a priority.

 

Roofs also offer more than just protection – adding skylights can help brighten up areas of your home and add further ventilation, chimneys are necessary for those wanting a fireplace, and vent pipes are crucial for keeping your house free from any foul odors.

 

The most common issues we've been running into in our 40+ years of experience are roof leaks and skylight leaks. In both cases, our method is to thoroughly clean the area, inspect the damage, and if necessary, inspect the flow of water (usually with a garden house) before applying any caulk or roofing cement to problem areas. Depending on the extent of the issue, the process can also entail replacing shingles and flashing around affected areas.
