Hensons Roofing Services - Louisville's Experienced Roofing Services

In our area, skylight leaks are often caused by worn or damaged flashing—the metal strips that seal the seam between the skylight and the roof. Kentucky's temperature swings can cause materials to expand and contract, leading to separation. At Hensons, we perform a thorough inspection to identify the exact failure point. Our repair typically involves carefully removing the old flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with proper sealants to create a watertight, long-lasting seal specific to your roof type.

Not necessarily. Flashing separation is a common and repairable issue here in Louisville. Our first step is a detailed roof inspection to assess the extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding shingles. Often, we can resecure or replace the compromised flashing without needing a full replacement. However, if the separation has led to prolonged water intrusion and widespread decking or structural rot, a section repair or full replacement may be the most cost-effective long-term solution. We'll always provide an honest, upfront assessment and recommend only the work your home needs.

Absolutely. Proper gutters are your roof's first line of defense, especially against issues that can exacerbate flashing and skylight problems. In Louisville, clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to back up under the roof edge or overflow, putting constant pressure on flashings and leading to separation and leaks. Our gutter cleaning, repair, and installation services ensure water is channeled safely away from your roof and foundation. This preventative maintenance is a key part of protecting your entire roofing system from the water damage we frequently see locally.
