Yes, cracked shingles are very common here due to our temperature extremes. The constant expansion and contraction from freeze-thaw cycles can cause brittleness and cracking. We can often perform targeted repairs to replace damaged shingles and reinforce the affected area. However, if the cracking is widespread, it may indicate the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, and we'll provide an honest assessment for the best long-term protection.

Skylight leaks are a frequent call we get, especially after heavy rain or snowmelt. Often, the issue is with the flashing—the metal seals around the skylight—which can degrade or become loose over time. In many cases, this is a repairable fix. Our team will inspect the flashing, seals, and surrounding shingles to pinpoint the exact source. We only recommend a full skylight replacement if the unit itself is damaged or failing, and we'll always explain your options clearly first.

For durability against our snow, wind, and sun, we highly recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles or architectural shingles. They are designed to withstand hail and high winds better than standard 3-tab shingles. For a longer-lasting investment, we also install standing seam metal roofs, which excel at shedding snow and resisting severe weather. During your consultation, we'll discuss the best material for your home's style, your budget, and the level of protection you need for our local conditions.
