Questions and Answers
What causes roof flashing to corrode in Rochester, and how can Elite Roofing And Paving fix it?
In Rochester, flashing corrosion is often accelerated by winter road salt spray, frequent freeze-thaw cycles, and moisture. We address this by removing the corroded flashing, properly preparing the surface, and installing new, high-grade metal flashing (like aluminum or copper) with secure, waterproof seals. This prevents leaks around chimneys, vents, and skylights, which are common problem areas here.
My roof's underlayment was damaged by an ice dam. What does your repair process involve?
Our repair process starts with a thorough inspection to assess all water damage. We safely remove compromised shingles and the damaged underlayment, then dry out the roof decking to prevent mold. We install a new, high-performance synthetic underlayment that provides superior water and ice dam protection, followed by expert shingle replacement. We also assess your attic ventilation and insulation to help prevent future ice dams.
As a Rochester roofer, what materials do you recommend to prevent these common local issues?
For Rochester homes, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles rated for high winds and hail, paired with a synthetic roof underlayment for enhanced water resistance. For flashing, we use corrosion-resistant metals and ensure all penetrations are meticulously sealed. For paving, we use quality aggregates and proper drainage techniques to minimize salt and water damage to your driveway and its foundation. Using the right materials from the start is key to longevity here.
