HIS Construction & Roofing | Roofing Services in Jamestown, NY 14701

Jamestown's weather, with its significant moisture from lake-effect snow and rain, creates a perfect environment for metal flashing to corrode. We address this by first removing all rusted material, treating the underlying wood, and installing new, heavy-gauge galvanized or aluminum flashing sealed with high-performance waterproofing. This repair not only stops leaks but is specifically chosen for its resistance to our local climate.

We use a gentle, low-pressure cleaning solution specifically formulated to kill moss and algae at the root without harming your shingles. After treatment, we carefully remove the dead growth. Crucially, we then apply a zinc or copper-based strip near the roof's peak. As rain washes over it, it deposits trace minerals that prevent future moss growth—a key long-term solution for our damp Jamestown springs and falls.

It almost always requires a full section replacement. Spot repairs on rusted flashing are temporary at best because corrosion weakens the entire piece. For a lasting fix, we remove the compromised section and fabricate a new, seamless piece on-site to ensure a perfect fit. This approach, though more thorough upfront, saves you money and stress by preventing the same leak from recurring after the next heavy Jamestown storm.
