Common Questions

As a Galena homeowner, what should I look for after a storm to check for roof damage?

After high winds or storms common on the Eastern Shore, check for visible debris like branches on your roof, missing or lifted shingles, and any new leaks inside your home. Also, inspect your gutters for dents or detachment, as they are often the first to show impact. J&L Exteriors offers thorough post-storm inspections to assess not just surface damage but also underlying issues like potential deck rot, which can be exacerbated by water intrusion. Our local experience helps us spot the specific vulnerabilities of homes in our area.

How does a 3rd-generation family company like J&L Exteriors approach a roof replacement?

Our approach is built on 45 years of local knowledge and a commitment to craftsmanship. We start with a detailed inspection to assess the full condition of your roof, including the deck. For a replacement, we focus on using materials suited to Galena's weather and ensuring proper ventilation to prevent future issues like rot. The process is managed personally, with clear communication throughout, ensuring the work meets the high standards our family has upheld since 1974. It's more than just a job; it's about protecting a home we've been servicing for generations.

Can you install skylights on an older roof in Galena, and what should I consider?

Yes, we regularly install and repair skylights on older roofs. The key consideration is the integrity of the surrounding roof structure. Our inspection will first verify that the roof deck is sound and free of rot, a common local issue, to ensure a secure foundation. We then integrate the skylight with proper flashing and sealing methods that account for our regional weather patterns. This careful, integrated approach helps prevent leaks and maximizes your new skylight's longevity and performance.
