Questions and Answers

Why are chimney flashing leaks so common in Horseheads homes, and how do you fix them?

Our local climate, with its freeze-thaw cycles, can cause the sealant and metal on chimney flashings to crack and separate over time. We fix this by carefully inspecting the entire chimney cricket and counter-flashing system, replacing compromised materials with durable, weather-resistant alternatives, and sealing everything with high-grade, flexible sealants designed for our region's temperature swings.

What's the best way to permanently stop a roof skylight from leaking?

A permanent fix requires more than just re-caulking. We address the root cause, which is often failed or improperly installed flashing around the skylight curb. Our repair involves removing the surrounding shingles, installing new step flashing integrated with the roof underlayment, and applying a waterproof membrane seal. This comprehensive approach ensures the skylight is watertight for years to come.

As a general contractor, can you handle the interior damage caused by these roof leaks?

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we don't just stop the leak. We can also coordinate and perform the necessary interior repairs, such as drywall replacement, insulation drying, repainting, and even addressing any mold concerns. This one-call solution saves you time and ensures the entire project—from the roof to your ceiling—is handled seamlessly and to a high standard.
