The first step is a detailed inspection to pinpoint the leak's exact source. In Kinston, leaks around skylights are often due to failed flashing seals or compromised underlayment from age and weather. We carefully examine the flashing, seals, and surrounding shingles, then provide a clear repair plan. Our fix typically involves resealing or replacing the flashing system with durable materials designed for our local climate to prevent a recurrence.

In Eastern NC, underlayment damage is commonly caused by prolonged moisture, wind-driven rain, or aging. It's a critical layer beneath your shingles. When we find damaged underlayment, we remove the affected shingles, strip away the compromised underlayment, and install a new, high-quality synthetic or felt underlayment. This repair restores your roof's primary water barrier, a crucial defense against Kinston's weather, before reinstalling the shingles securely.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the leak's extent, your roof's age, and the condition of surrounding materials. A single, isolated leak from a skylight or a small section of damaged underlayment often warrants a targeted repair. However, if an inspection reveals widespread underlayment failure, multiple leaks, or significant aging, a replacement may be the more reliable, long-term solution. We provide an honest, detailed assessment to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
