Home Handyman Service | Handyman & Roofing in Buffalo, NY 14213

In Buffalo, heavy snow, ice dams, and seasonal debris are tough on gutters. We frequently see clogs from leaves, sagging or detached sections from ice weight, and corrosion from moisture and road salt. Our service starts with a thorough cleaning and inspection. For repairs, we use materials suited for our climate to re-secure gutters and ensure proper pitch for drainage. If replacement is needed, we install durable systems with ample capacity to handle our intense spring rains and winter melt-off, helping to protect your home's foundation and siding from water damage.

Absolutely. This is a very common issue in Buffalo due to freeze-thaw cycles and the weight of winter snow. A damaged ridge cap can allow water to seep in during a melt. Lou Gott and our team will conduct a detailed roof inspection to locate the exact source of the leak and assess the condition of your ridge cap and surrounding shingles. We then provide a clear repair plan, which often involves replacing the damaged ridge cap sections and sealing any compromised areas with materials rated for our temperature extremes. Our goal is a repair that holds up through the next Buffalo winter.

A full roof replacement for an average Buffalo home typically takes 2-3 days, depending on size, complexity, and weather. Our process is thorough: we start by protecting your property and safely removing the old roof down to the decking. We then inspect and repair the decking, install high-quality ice and water shield (crucial for our climate), new underlayment, and your chosen shingles. We ensure all flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is properly sealed. Finally, we conduct a meticulous cleanup. Lou oversees the project to ensure the work meets our long-standing standards for durability against Western New York weather.
