Question Answers
What are the signs that my Fort Washington home needs gutter repair or replacement?
Common signs include water spilling over the sides during rain, sagging or pulling away from the roofline, visible cracks or holes, and peeling paint or rust spots on the gutters themselves. In our local climate, clogged gutters can also lead to ice dams in winter. McIlwain Services offers thorough inspections and can handle everything from minor gutter repairs to full gutter replacement, ensuring proper drainage away from your home's foundation.
My roof is leaking near the chimney. Can you fix this common Fort Washington issue?
Absolutely. Leaks at chimney flashing are a frequent problem we address for local homeowners. Over time, the sealant can degrade or the metal flashing can corrode or pull away. Our team will inspect the chimney flashing and the surrounding roof underlayment for damage. We repair or replace the flashing with proper sealing techniques and address any compromised underlayment to stop the leak and prevent interior water damage, a service backed by our 25+ years of local roofing experience.
Do you offer skylight installation, and what should I consider before adding one?
Yes, we provide professional skylight installation and repair. Before installation, it's important to consider the roof's structure, the optimal placement for light, and potential energy efficiency. Our team will assess your roof to ensure it can support the skylight, help you choose a suitable model, and perform a watertight installation that integrates seamlessly with your existing roofing system to prevent future leaks, a critical step for long-term performance.
