J & J Roofing | Roofing Services in Camillus, NY 13031

This is a very common issue here due to our freeze-thaw cycles. Snow and ice build up on your roof all winter. As it melts, water can seep under shingles that have been compromised by ice dams or worn sealant, or find its way through tiny cracks that expanded in the cold. Our inspections focus on identifying these vulnerable areas, especially around flashing, vents, and in valleys, to perform targeted repairs before the spring thaw causes interior damage.

Nail pops are another frequent sight on Camillus roofs. They occur when the roofing nails work their way up and out of the roof deck, often due to the wood framing expanding and contracting with temperature and humidity changes. While a few might be cosmetic, they create an opening for water to enter, which can lead to leaks and rot. We recommend having them addressed promptly. Our repair involves sealing the exposed hole and securing the shingle properly to restore a watertight seal.

Proactive maintenance is key for Central New York homes. We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the late fall. This allows us to check sealant integrity, ensure flashings are secure, clear debris from valleys and gutters, and identify any loose or damaged shingles. Addressing small issues like a cracked shingle or a slightly lifted flashing before winter can prevent major leaks and ice dam formation, saving you from costly emergency repairs down the line.
