A & B Siding & Roofing | Expert Roofing Services in Burlington, NC

In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by failed or deteriorating flashing—the metal strips that seal the joint between the skylight and the roof. Over time, weather exposure and settling can compromise this seal. We fix this by carefully removing the surrounding shingles, replacing the old flashing with new, corrosion-resistant material, and applying a high-grade sealant. We then reinstall the shingles with proper overlap to ensure a watertight barrier that lasts.

Nail pops are very common here due to the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking with our seasonal temperature swings. When a nail works its way up, it can puncture the shingle, creating a potential entry point for water. While a single pop might not be an emergency, multiple pops indicate weakening adhesion. We address this by carefully removing the affected shingle, driving in a new, longer roofing nail in a fresh spot, and sealing the old nail hole. This prevents leaks and maintains your roof's wind resistance.

Absolutely, we can typically address both issues in a single, efficient service call. Since both repairs involve working on the roof's field and require similar materials and safety setups, combining them is practical and cost-effective for you. Our technicians will first secure any popped nails to stabilize the shingles and then move to the skylight area to repair or replace the flashing. This comprehensive approach ensures your entire roof section is sealed and protected.
