Those are classic signs of needed maintenance. We recommend starting with a professional roof inspection. This allows us to assess the severity of the nail pops, which can indicate loosened shingles, and check your gutter system for proper pitch and blockages. Often, a combination of roof cleaning to remove debris and targeted repairs, followed by a thorough gutter cleaning, can resolve both issues and prevent further damage to your roof deck and fascia.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your roof. For localized issues like a few leaking shingles or minor flashing problems around a skylight, a repair is often sufficient and cost-effective. However, if our inspection reveals widespread nail pops, significant granule loss, or damage across multiple roof sections—common in older Philly homes—a full roof replacement or reroofing might be the more reliable, long-term investment. We'll provide a detailed assessment and explain all your options.

Not when done correctly. Improper installation or worn flashing are the primary causes of skylight leaks. At Demaio & Sons, our skylight installation and repair services include meticulously integrating new flashing with your existing roof system and sealing all penetrations. We also ensure the surrounding roof area is sound to prevent issues like water backing up under shingles. A proper installation not only adds light but should enhance your roof's integrity, not compromise it.
