Common Questions
What's the most common cause of a skylight leak in my Great Falls home, and how do you fix it?
In our experience, the primary culprit is often the deterioration of the sealant or flashing around the skylight frame, exacerbated by our area's freeze-thaw cycles and temperature swings. At Denny's Roofing, we start with a detailed inspection to rule out other issues. Our repair involves carefully removing the old, failed sealant, cleaning and preparing the area, and applying a new, high-grade, weather-resistant sealant. We also inspect and repair or replace the step flashing integrated with your shingles to ensure a complete, watertight seal that's built to last through Montana's seasons.
Why does roof flashing seem to corrode so quickly here in Great Falls, and what's the solution?
Great Falls' climate is tough on metal flashing. Moisture, winter de-icing salts, and significant thermal expansion and contraction can rapidly accelerate corrosion, especially on older galvanized steel. The solution is to replace corroded flashing with more durable materials. We typically recommend and install heavy-gauge aluminum or copper flashing for critical areas. These metals offer superior corrosion resistance and longevity in our local environment. Our technicians are skilled in custom-fabricating and installing new flashing to match your roof's specific contours, providing a robust barrier against water penetration for years to come.
I have both a leaking skylight and corroded flashing. Can you handle both repairs in one visit?
Absolutely. These issues often go hand-in-hand, and addressing them together is the most efficient and effective way to safeguard your roof. Our comprehensive roof inspection will assess the condition of both the skylight assembly and all perimeter flashing. We then provide a clear, upfront plan to perform all necessary repairs in a single, coordinated visit. This approach not only saves you time and hassle but also ensures the entire roof system works together correctly, eliminating leaks and preventing future problems. We'll secure the work area and clean up thoroughly, leaving your Great Falls home protected.
