About the Company

FAQs
How does Kohn Contracting address common local issues like roof flashing corrosion and nail pops in Lake Shore?
In Lake Shore, we frequently see roof flashing corrosion and nail pops due to weather exposure and aging materials. At Kohn Contracting, we diagnose these issues by inspecting the entire roof system, not just patching symptoms. For flashing corrosion, we identify the root cause—often poor installation or material failure—and recommend proper replacement with durable materials. For nail pops, we assess underlying issues like ventilation or structural movement and provide repairs that prevent recurrence. Our photo documentation and clear explanations ensure you understand the problem and solution, helping protect your home from future damage common in our area.
What sets your gutter installation and repair services apart from other companies?
Our gutter services stand out because we apply the same diagnostic approach used in commercial roofing. Instead of just installing or repairing gutters, we examine how they interact with your roof, siding, and drainage system. We check for issues like improper slope, clogs, or damage that could lead to water intrusion. Based on our commercial experience, we ensure gutters are installed to handle Lake Shore's weather, using quality materials and techniques that prevent leaks and ice dams. We document everything with photos and explain our recommendations, so you know exactly what we're doing and why it matters for your home's protection.
Can you explain your process for roof inspections and leak diagnostics?
Our roof inspection and leak diagnostic process is thorough and transparent, rooted in Eric's commercial background. We start by visually assessing the roof, attic, and exterior components, looking for signs of failure like water stains or damaged shingles. Using photo documentation, we identify the true source of leaks—often hidden issues with flashings, vents, or underlayment. We then explain the root cause to you, showing evidence and discussing options based on your budget and long-term needs. Unlike companies that guess, we diagnose systematically to ensure repairs address the actual problem, not just symptoms, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
