Fort Roofing & Sheet Metal Works | Roofing Services in N Charleston, SC 29405

In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by failed or degraded flashing seals due to our intense sun and humidity. Over time, the sealant cracks, allowing water to seep in during heavy rains. At Fort Roofing, we don't just re-caulk; we perform a comprehensive assessment of the flashing, the skylight curb, and the surrounding shingles. Our repair typically involves carefully removing the old flashing, installing new, corrosion-resistant metal flashing sealed with high-performance urethane, and integrating it seamlessly with your existing roof system to prevent future leaks.

Inadequate ventilation traps hot, moist air in your attic. This is a major issue here, as it leads to excessive heat buildup that can warp roof decking and prematurely age shingles. More critically, the trapped moisture encourages mold growth and wood rot, and can even cause ice dam-like issues in winter. We solve this by evaluating your current intake and exhaust vents, often recommending and installing balanced ridge and soffit ventilation systems. This creates a continuous airflow that expels hot air, reduces cooling costs, and protects the structural integrity of your roof.

Our process is thorough and transparent. It starts with a detailed, no-obligation inspection where we identify the root cause of the leak or ventilation failure. We then provide a clear, written estimate explaining the necessary repairs. For leaks, this means targeted tear-off and replacement of compromised materials. For ventilation, it involves strategic installation of new vents. Throughout the job, our experienced crew prioritizes cleanliness and communication, ensuring the repair is done right the first time with materials suited for our coastal climate. We stand behind our work with strong warranties for your peace of mind.
