Mike Smith Construction | Roofing Services in Leechburg, PA 15656

These are common issues in our Leechburg area due to our weather patterns. A chimney flashing leak often starts small but can lead to significant interior water damage and roof deck rot if ignored. We start with a thorough roof inspection to pinpoint the exact source of moisture. For flashing, we repair or replace the metal seals with proper techniques to prevent future leaks. If rot is found in the decking, we remove the affected sections and install new, sturdy plywood before completing the roof repair or replacement. Addressing these problems promptly protects the structural integrity of your entire roof system.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the roof's age, the extent of damage, and the condition of the underlying structure. During a detailed roof inspection, we look for signs like widespread, curled, or missing shingles, multiple leaks, or sagging areas. For localized damage from a storm or isolated leak, a repair is often sufficient. However, if the roof is near the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles) or has extensive deck rot, a full replacement is usually the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. We'll explain our findings clearly and help you make the best choice for your home and budget.

Absolutely. As a full-service exterior contractor, we frequently coordinate siding and gutter projects. In fact, it's often efficient to schedule them together. When replacing siding, we have clear access to the fascia board where gutters are mounted, allowing for a seamless installation of your new gutter system. This coordinated approach ensures proper alignment and water management from the roof edge down. We manage the entire process, from material selection to final cleanup, providing a single point of contact and a cohesive result that enhances your home's protection and curb appeal.
