Andrew Porter Contracting | Roofing Services in Charlton, MA 01507

Our comprehensive roof inspection focuses on identifying vulnerabilities that lead to ice dams, such as inadequate attic insulation, poor ventilation, and compromised flashing. For Charlton homes, we check for early signs of wear that trap heat and melt snow unevenly. By catching these issues early, we can recommend targeted repairs or ventilation improvements to prevent ice dams from forming and causing costly water damage to your roof and home interior.

In Charlton's climate, flashing—the metal that seals roof joints—is prone to corrosion from moisture and temperature swings. When we handle a roof replacement, we use high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials (like aluminum or coated steel) for all flashing. We also ensure it's installed with precision around chimneys, vents, and valleys, which are common leak points. A properly installed, durable flashing system is a critical part of a long-lasting roof that stands up to local weather conditions.

Yes, absolutely. Skylights can be a thermal weak spot if not installed correctly. For both skylight repair and new installation, we take extra care to integrate proper flashing and create a sealed, insulated curb. This prevents warm air from escaping around the skylight, which is a primary cause of the uneven snow melting that leads to ice dams. Our goal is to let the light in while maintaining your roof's integrity against Charlton's winters.
