Empire Building Company | Roofing Services in Rochester, NY 14625

Roof deck rot is common here due to our heavy snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles, which can trap moisture against the sheathing. We fix it by first safely removing the affected shingles and underlayment. Then, we cut out and replace the rotted wood decking with new, treated plywood or OSB before reinstalling a proper ice and water shield and new roofing materials. This repair restores the structural integrity of your roof and prevents further damage to your attic and home interior.

Chimney flashing leaks are often caused by aging sealant, cracked metal, or improper installation that fails under Rochester's temperature extremes. We repair them by carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the chimney structure for any water damage, and installing new, custom-fitted step flashing and counterflashing. We use high-grade metals and sealants designed to expand and contract with the seasons, creating a watertight seal that directs water away from this critical junction.

Yes, absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we don't just fix the roof—we repair the resulting interior damage. This can include water-stained or sagging ceilings, damaged drywall, insulation, and even mold remediation if necessary. We coordinate all aspects of the project, from the exterior roofing repair to the interior restoration, ensuring a seamless, single-point-of-contact solution to get your Rochester home back to pre-damage condition.
