Hickey Richard L Roofing Company | Roofing Services in East Watertown, MA 02472

We start with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the rot. For localized damage, we carefully remove the affected sheathing and replace it with new, pressure-treated plywood, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing structure. For widespread issues, a full deck replacement may be recommended. Our priority is to eliminate all moisture sources and restore a solid, stable base for your new roofing materials, preventing future problems.

The humidity and seasonal weather in our area can accelerate corrosion on standard metal flashing. We address this by first removing the rusted sections. We then install new, high-quality flashing—often using corrosion-resistant metals like aluminum or copper—and meticulously seal all joints and penetrations. Proper installation is key to preventing water from seeping behind the flashing, which is a primary cause of the deck rot we also commonly repair.

Our local roof inspection is tailored to East Watertown's common issues. We meticulously check for soft spots indicating deck rot, examine all flashing for corrosion and seal failure, assess shingle condition, inspect gutters and drainage, and evaluate attic ventilation. We provide a detailed report with photos and clear explanations, outlining any necessary repairs to address current damage and prevent the specific problems prevalent in our community.
