Carmody Roofing & Sheet Metal Co | Roofing Services in Elma, NY 14059

In Elma, temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles can cause the metal flashing around your chimney to contract, expand, and eventually pull away or corrode, creating leaks. We fix this by carefully removing the old flashing, repairing any underlying roof deck damage, and installing new, high-grade sheet metal flashing that's custom-fitted and sealed to your chimney and roof. This precise, watertight installation is key to preventing future leaks.

Preventing ice dams starts with addressing the root cause: heat escaping from your attic that melts snow unevenly. We recommend a two-part solution. First, we improve attic ventilation and insulation to maintain a consistent roof temperature. Second, as part of a roof repair or replacement, we install a waterproof membrane (ice & water shield) along the eaves and valleys. This barrier protects your roof deck if water does back up under the shingles from an ice dam.

Not always. Many ice dam issues in Elma are localized to the eaves and gutters. Our team will conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of water damage to the roof deck, insulation, and interior ceilings. If the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is in good condition, we can perform a targeted repair. This includes replacing damaged decking, applying new underlayment and ice & water shield, and seamlessly blending in new shingles. We always recommend the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your home.
