G&J Roofing Services | Roofing Services in Hyattsville, MD 20781

In our Hyattsville area, the most common cause is old, cracked, or improperly sealed flashing around the chimney base. Maryland's temperature shifts can cause the metal and roofing materials to expand and contract, breaking the seal. We fix it by carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting for any underlying rot on the roof deck, and installing new, code-compliant flashing sealed with high-grade waterproofing materials to create a durable, weather-tight barrier.

It depends on the source of the leak. Often, leaks around skylights in our area are due to failed seals or perimeter flashing, which we can expertly repair. We'll perform a thorough inspection to determine if the leak is from the glass unit itself, the frame, or the flashing. In many cases, a skilled repair is all that's needed. If the skylight is old or damaged beyond repair, we can discuss a replacement with modern, energy-efficient options that are better sealed against our local weather.

Properly functioning gutters are your roof's first line of defense. When gutters are clogged, damaged, or incorrectly sized for your home, water can overflow and seep behind your fascia or under your roof shingles, leading to leaks and rot—especially around vulnerable areas like chimney bases. Our gutter installation, repair, and cleaning services ensure water is channeled safely away from your roof and foundation, directly addressing a key factor that contributes to the localized leaking problems we often see in the community.
