James Bogetti Roofing | Roofing Services in Montauk, NY 11954

Repairing ice dam damage in Montauk requires addressing both the water intrusion and the underlying cause. We start by inspecting for compromised shingles, soaked sheathing, and interior leaks. Repairs often involve replacing damaged materials and, crucially, improving attic ventilation and insulation to prevent future ice dams from forming, a common issue with our winter freeze-thaw cycles.

Montauk's salty, humid air accelerates corrosion on standard metal flashings around chimneys, vents, and valleys. We fix this by removing the corroded flashing and installing new, high-quality materials such as copper or galvanized steel with protective coatings that resist salt spray. Proper sealing is critical to prevent leaks that can lead to more extensive structural damage.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the late spring or early fall. Given our exposure to nor'easters, summer storms, and winter ice, an annual check allows us to catch minor issues like loose shingles or early-stage flashing corrosion before they turn into major, costly repairs from water damage.
