In our area, the freeze-thaw cycle is a major culprit. Snow accumulates, melts during the day, and then re-freezes at night in your gutters or under shingles. This ice can create dams that force water back under your roofing materials, or it can expand and weaken seals around skylights and vents. A professional inspection from a local contractor like us can identify these vulnerable points before they lead to interior water damage.

Often, a leaking skylight is an isolated issue caused by failed flashing or sealant around the unit, not a sign your entire roof is failing. Our roofing experts will assess the specific cause. Many times, we can perform a targeted repair by resealing or replacing the flashing, which is a more cost-effective solution. However, if the surrounding roof deck is compromised, we'll provide honest advice on the necessary scope of work to ensure a lasting fix for your home.

While windows don't cause roof leaks, they are often impacted by them. Persistent moisture from a leak can damage window frames, sills, and drywall. When we repair your roof, we can also assess and replace any windows that have been warped or damaged by water. Furthermore, installing new, energy-efficient windows improves your home's overall envelope, working in tandem with a solid roof to enhance insulation and protect against the elements, which is crucial for Fort Atkinson winters.
