Hayden Brothers General Contractors | Roofing Services in Schenectady, NY 12308

A leaking skylight in our area is often due to failed seals or improper flashing, exacerbated by freeze-thaw cycles. We start with a thorough inspection to find the exact source. Our repair involves removing the old sealant and flashing, installing new, weather-resistant materials, and ensuring proper integration with your existing roof system. We focus on creating a watertight seal that will last through Schenectady's harsh winters, preventing interior water damage and mold.

Preventing ice dams, a frequent issue here, requires addressing the root cause: heat loss from your attic. Our expert approach includes improving attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof deck cold and uniform. We also ensure your gutters are clear and functioning. For existing damage, we repair compromised roof sections and install ice and water shield—a critical membrane under your shingles—along the eaves to protect against future water infiltration from melting ice.

Absolutely. Proper window installation is a key part of your home's overall envelope. Drafty or poorly sealed windows contribute to heat loss, which warms your attic and can lead to ice dam formation on the roof. We install energy-efficient windows with expert flashing and sealing to reduce air leaks. This helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, lessens the strain on your roof from uneven melting, and improves your home's overall energy efficiency and comfort.
