Apex Roof Solution | Roofing Services in Cortland, NY 13045

Nail pops are frequent here due to our region's temperature swings, which cause roof decking to expand and contract, pushing nails out. We don't just hammer them back down, as that's a temporary fix. Our proper repair involves carefully removing the popped nail, sealing the hole, and installing a new, longer roofing nail in a solid spot nearby, followed by a matching sealant to ensure a watertight hold that lasts.

Chimney flashing leaks often occur when the metal step flashing or counterflashing becomes loose, corroded, or was improperly installed, allowing water to seep in during heavy rain or snowmelt. At Apex Roof Solution, we conduct a detailed inspection to find the exact failure point. Our repair involves carefully removing surrounding shingles, installing new, corrosion-resistant flashing sealed with professional-grade waterproofing, and then reinstalling the shingles to restore a seamless, durable barrier against Cortland weather.

Absolutely. We highly recommend proactive inspections, especially before and after winter. Many nail pops or minor flashing separations start small. Our local expertise allows us to spot these early warning signs during a comprehensive inspection. Catching them early can prevent more extensive interior water damage and is often a much more affordable repair, giving you peace of mind and protecting your Cortland home investment.
