Cranston Construction | Roofing Services in Philadelphia, PA 19111

Yes, this is a very common issue for Philadelphia-area homes. Our winters bring cycles of snow accumulation and thaw, which place significant stress on roof valleys—the critical intersections where two roof planes meet. Ice dams and pooled water can compromise the flashing and sealant in these areas. Cranston Construction specializes in diagnosing and repairing these specific leaks. We perform a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point, whether it's worn flashing, compromised underlayment, or ice dam damage, and provide a durable repair solution to prevent recurrence.

Our comprehensive roof inspection is designed to give you a clear picture of your roof's condition. We carefully examine the entire roofing system, including shingles or tiles, flashing around chimneys and vents, gutters, soffits, and fascia. We look for signs of wear, damage, leaks, and potential vulnerabilities, paying special attention to common trouble spots like valleys and edges. After the inspection, we provide you with a detailed, honest assessment and a prioritized recommendation for any necessary repairs or maintenance, helping you plan and budget effectively for your home's protection.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your system. Minor issues like a single loose section, a small leak at a seam, or a clogged downspout are typically repairable. However, if you're experiencing frequent leaks, multiple sagging sections, persistent peeling paint or rust, or if your gutters are pulling away from the fascia board, a full replacement is often the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. During our free estimate, we'll assess the condition of your gutters and downspouts and advise on the best course of action to ensure proper water drainage away from your home's foundation.
