DR Roofing & Painting: Certified Roofing Services Serving Cincinnati, OH 45238

Properly installed and maintained gutters are crucial for preventing ice dams, a common local issue. Clogged or damaged gutters trap water, which then freezes at your roof's edge, forming dams that force melting snow back under your shingles. Our gutter cleaning services ensure clear water flow, while our installation and repair work guarantees your gutter system is correctly sloped and sealed to direct water away from your roof, significantly reducing the risk of ice dam damage.

Finding shingle granules in your gutters is a sign of wear, often accelerated by Cincinnati's weather cycles. While some granule loss is normal over time, excessive loss exposes the asphalt mat to UV rays, leading to cracks and leaks. We recommend a professional roof inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Our team can determine if targeted roof repairs will suffice or if a partial/full roof replacement is necessary to restore protection and prevent interior water damage.

Yes, a roof replacement is an ideal time to add a skylight. Our expert skylight installation integrates the unit seamlessly with your new roofing system. We use premium flashing kits and meticulous sealing techniques specifically designed to withstand Cincinnati's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow. When installed correctly as part of a holistic roofing project, a skylight should not leak. We ensure it is properly insulated and flashed to be as watertight and durable as the rest of your new roof.
