Harry Frazier Roofing & Sheetmetal | Roofing Services in Alexandria, VA 22314

In our area, nail pops are often caused by the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking due to temperature swings and humidity. Over time, this movement can push nails up, breaking the sealant and creating a potential leak point. At Harry Frazier Roofing, we carefully remove the popped nail, seal the hole with roofing cement, and secure the shingle with a new, corrosion-resistant nail in a slightly different location, followed by a fresh sealant application. This ensures a watertight repair that accommodates future movement.

Frequent gutter overflow in Alexandria often points to an installation or pitch problem, not just debris. Gutters may be improperly sloped, preventing water from flowing toward the downspouts, or the downspouts themselves might be undersized for our heavy rainstorms. Our sheetmetal expertise allows us to assess and correct the pitch, add additional downspouts, or even fabricate and install larger, custom gutters on-site to handle the volume of water your roof sheds, solving the overflow problem at its source.

Absolutely. Damaged or poorly installed flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is a major contributor to leaks, especially when combined with nail pops or gutter backups that force water into vulnerable areas. Our specialty in sheetmetal means we expertly fabricate and install new, precise flashing from durable materials like aluminum or galvanized steel. This creates a watertight seal at these critical junctions, providing a permanent solution that works in tandem with other repairs to fully protect your Alexandria home.
