Houston Construction | Roofing Services in Conover, NC 28613

In our area, recurring leaks often point to a systemic issue, not just a single damaged shingle. Common culprits we see are deteriorated roof valley linings, which channel heavy runoff, and compromised underlayment that soaks through. A patch might not address the water's path. Houston Construction performs a comprehensive leak investigation to trace the water's origin and fix the entire problem area, ensuring a lasting seal against our frequent downpours.

Chimney flashing leaks are very common here due to thermal expansion and weathering. The most effective repair isn't just re-caulking—that's a temporary fix. We remove the old flashing, inspect the cricket (the saddle behind the chimney), and install new, code-compliant step flashing integrated with a new counter-flashing sealed into the chimney mortar. This method addresses the root cause, preventing water from sneaking behind the flashing during our driving rains.

Look for key local signs. If leaks are isolated and your shingles are mostly intact, a repair may suffice. However, if you have widespread granule loss (those black sand-like grains in your gutters), multiple leaking areas, or shingles that are curling or cracked—especially after one of our hailstorms—a replacement is likely more cost-effective. We offer honest, pressure-free assessments to recommend the right solution for your home's protection and your budget.
