CJ'S Nichols | Roofing Services in Paris, TX 75460

In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by failed or deteriorated flashing—the metal sealant that bridges the gap between the skylight and the roof shingles. Over time, weather and thermal expansion can crack or lift it. We fix this by carefully removing the surrounding shingles, replacing the flashing with new, corrosion-resistant material, and integrating it seamlessly with your existing roofing system to create a watertight seal that lasts.

Signs of roof decking rot include sagging roof lines, spongy feeling underfoot in the attic, dark stains or mold on the underside of the decking, and a persistent musty smell. This is a serious structural issue because rotted decking (the plywood or OSB beneath your shingles) can't properly support the roof's weight, leading to potential collapse. Given our local humidity and rain, moisture trapped from leaks accelerates this decay. We perform attic inspections to assess the damage and replace rotted sections to restore your roof's integrity.

The decision depends on the extent of the damage. For isolated issues, like rot in one section or a single skylight leak, a targeted repair is often sufficient and cost-effective. However, if we find widespread decking rot, multiple leak points, or your shingles are near the end of their lifespan, a full replacement is usually the wiser long-term investment. We provide a clear, honest assessment, explaining the pros and cons for your specific situation, so you can make the best choice to protect your Paris home.
