In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by failed sealant or flashing due to age and temperature fluctuations. Our repair process starts with a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point. We then carefully remove the old, compromised materials and install new, high-quality flashing and sealants specifically rated for our climate. The key is a precise, watertight installation that accommodates the roof's movement to prevent the leak from recurring.

Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof deck cold and consistent. We recommend a professional evaluation of your attic's current condition. Solutions often include adding insulation, ensuring soffit and ridge vents are clear and functional, and installing a waterproof membrane (ice and water shield) at the roof's eaves during a repair or replacement. This barrier protects your roof deck if ice dams do form.

Not always. It depends on the extent of the water intrusion and the age of your roofing materials. We'll inspect the underlying decking and structure for moisture damage. Often, localized repairs to the damaged sections, combined with improved attic ventilation, are sufficient. However, if the roof is near the end of its lifespan or the damage is widespread, a replacement may be the more cost-effective, long-term solution. We provide honest assessments to guide you.
