Leak Proof Roofing & Construction | Roofing Services in Schenectady, NY 12303

It depends on the extent of the damage. We start with a thorough inspection to locate the source, often around flashings, vents, or in valleys where ice dams form. Many leaks can be resolved with a targeted repair. However, if we find widespread wear, curling shingles, or compromised decking—common after years of freeze-thaw cycles—a roof replacement may be the more cost-effective, long-term solution for your home.

Proper ventilation is crucial in our climate to prevent ice dams in winter and reduce attic heat in summer. During a new roof installation or reroofing, we can install or upgrade key components like ridge vents, soffit vents, and baffles. This creates a continuous airflow system, pushing out moist, warm air that causes ice dams and drawing in cooler air. It protects your roof structure, improves energy efficiency, and extends the life of your new shingles.

Absolutely. A skylight is only as watertight as its installation. We use premium, ice-and-water shield underlayment around the entire opening—a critical step in our snowy climate—and integrate step flashing seamlessly with your existing roof system. Our meticulous sealing and flashing techniques are designed to handle the expansion, contraction, and heavy precipitation common here, ensuring your new skylight brings in light, not leaks.
