Proper installation is key. In Albany, skylight leaks often stem from improper flashing and sealant failure due to temperature swings. Our new roof installations integrate skylights with meticulous attention to detail, using ice and water shield around the curb and step-flashing that's interwoven with the shingles. This creates a watertight seal from the start, preventing the moisture intrusion that leads to costly interior damage.

Ridge cap damage from high winds is common here. If the damage is isolated to a small section and the roof is relatively new, a repair may suffice. However, if you have widespread damage, your shingles are aging (over 15-20 years), or you're experiencing multiple leaks, a full replacement is often more cost-effective. A new roof with a properly installed, reinforced ridge vent system will provide superior protection and ventilation for decades.

For Albany's mix of heavy snow, rain, and wind, we recommend impact-resistant architectural shingles. They offer multiple layers for durability and a longer warranty. We also insist on a synthetic underlayment for better tear resistance and a complete ice and water shield in critical areas like valleys and eaves. This system is specifically engineered to protect against the ice damming and wind-driven rain we see locally, safeguarding your home from ridge to gutter.
