Jb's Handy Service | General Contractors & Roofing in New Madison, OH 45346

In our area, high winds, temperature fluctuations, and seasonal storms are the main culprits. Ridge caps seal the peak of your roof, and flashing seals joints around chimneys or vents. Over time, wind can loosen shingles and flashing, while freeze-thaw cycles can break seals. We inspect for these specific stress points to prevent water intrusion.

We start by carefully removing the compromised flashing. Then, we clean and prepare the area, apply a new layer of waterproof underlayment, and install new, high-grade metal flashing sealed with professional-grade caulking. This precise process ensures a watertight seal that can withstand local weather conditions for years to come.

Often, we can perform a targeted repair. We'll remove the damaged ridge shingles, replace any compromised underlayment beneath them, and install new ridge caps that match your existing roof. We only recommend larger sections if we find widespread underlying damage during our inspection, always aiming for the most cost-effective solution for you.
