Q&A

I'm seeing granules in my gutters after winter. Is this a serious problem for my Watertown home?

Yes, shingle granule loss is a common sign of wear in our area and can lead to accelerated aging and leaks, especially after snow and ice. The granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. We recommend a professional roof inspection. E&J General Services can assess the damage and advise on targeted repairs or, if needed, a full roof replacement with high-quality materials designed for New England weather to prevent future water damage to your home's interior.

A snow melt leak damaged my bedroom ceiling. Can you handle both the roof repair and interior fix?

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we efficiently manage the entire project. First, our roofing experts will locate and repair the leak's source on your roof. Then, our interior team can handle the necessary drywall repair, repainting, or even a full bedroom remodel if the water damage is extensive. This integrated approach saves you time and ensures seamless, high-quality results for your Watertown home, from the exterior shell to the finished interior walls.

Beyond just fixing a leak, how can I prevent future roof issues in Watertown's climate?

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend regular gutter cleaning and inspection to prevent ice dams, and ensuring proper attic ventilation. For older roofs, consider a roof replacement with modern, impact-resistant shingles and upgraded underlayment. As part of our service, E&J can also inspect and repair related elements like soffits, fascia, and stucco to create a fully weather-tight exterior system for your home, protecting against our harsh winters and wet springs.
