Hittle Roofing | Roofing Services in Zanesville, OH 43701

In Zanesville, the primary culprits are our freeze-thaw cycles and high winds. Over time, the expansion and contraction from temperature swings can loosen flashing seals, while strong winds can lift or bend the metal. Improper installation is another common factor. Hittle Roofing inspects for these specific issues, ensuring repairs are not only made but are reinforced to better withstand our local climate.

Most skylight leaks in our area are due to failed seals or flashing, not the unit itself, and can often be repaired. Our process starts with a precise diagnosis to find the exact entry point—often where the skylight meets the roof deck. We then perform targeted sealing and flashing repairs to stop the leak. We only recommend replacement if the skylight frame is damaged or the glass is compromised, always providing you with a clear, upfront assessment.

Immediately. Even a small, intermittent leak can lead to significant hidden damage in your attic, including mold growth, wood rot, and insulation damage. In Zanesville's climate, what starts as a minor issue before winter can become a major problem by spring due to ice damming and water intrusion. We recommend scheduling an inspection with Hittle Roofing at the first sign of water stains or moisture to prevent more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
