Choby Construction | Roofing Services in Erie, PA 16505

Erie's wet climate and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate corrosion on metal roof flashings, which are critical for sealing joints around chimneys and vents. Corroded flashing is a leading cause of the roof leaks many homeowners see after snow melts. At Choby Construction, we perform detailed roof inspections to identify weak spots. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged flashing, preparing the area, and installing new, high-quality metal flashing sealed to prevent future water intrusion, protecting your home from the inside out.

Absolutely. Properly functioning gutters and downspouts are your first line of defense against ice dams and water damage, which are prevalent here after heavy snow. Clogged, sagging, or undersized gutters can cause water to back up under your roof shingles or along your siding. We offer gutter cleaning, repair, and professional installation of correctly sized systems to ensure efficient water diversion away from your foundation. This proactive service is key to mitigating the roof and siding issues caused by our local winter weather.

Yes, they are often connected. In Erie, persistent roof leaks or overflowing gutters can lead to water running down behind your siding, causing rot, mold, and structural damage to your home's sheathing. Simply patching a roof leak might not address hidden siding damage. Choby Construction provides integrated exterior assessments. We'll locate the source of the water intrusion—whether it's the roof, flashing, or gutters—and then perform any necessary siding repair or replacement to ensure your entire exterior envelope is sealed and secure against our local elements.
