Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my Schenectady home has poor roof ventilation, and why is it a problem?
Signs include excessive attic heat in summer, ice dams along the eaves in winter, or condensation on attic surfaces. Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, which can warp roof decking, damage insulation, and shorten your roof's lifespan. Our inspection can assess your ventilation and recommend solutions like adding soffit and ridge vents to protect your home.
What causes roof flashing to corrode on homes in our area, and how do you fix it?
Schenectady's weather—snow, rain, and temperature swings—speeds up corrosion on metal flashings, especially around chimneys and roof valleys. We inspect for rust, cracks, or separation. Repair involves carefully removing the damaged section, preparing the area, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed to prevent future leaks and protect these critical junctions.
My roof is leaking near a vent pipe. Is this likely a flashing issue, and what's your repair process?
Yes, leaks at penetrations like vent pipes are often due to failed pipe boot flashing, which can crack or corrode. We'll inspect the boot and surrounding shingles. Our repair typically involves replacing the old boot with a new, durable one, properly sealing it to the roof deck and pipe, and integrating it with the shingles to restore a watertight seal.
