National Roofing Co | Roofing Services in Guilford, CT 06437

Guilford's coastal weather, with strong winds and driving rain, puts constant stress on the ridge cap—the seal along the peak of your roof. This can loosen shingles and compromise the waterproof barrier. We fix this by carefully removing the damaged materials, inspecting the underlying decking, and installing a new, high-wind-rated ridge cap with proper sealing to prevent future leaks and wind uplift.

Skylight leaks here are often due to failed seals or flashing that can't handle our temperature swings and heavy rain. We first perform a diagnostic to see if the issue is with the sealant, flashing, or the unit itself. Often, a professional re-flashing and sealing with durable, UV-resistant materials solves the problem. If the skylight is old or the frame is compromised, we'll recommend a replacement with a modern, energy-efficient model designed for New England weather.

After a storm, check for visible signs like missing or cracked shingles, especially along the ridges and edges. Inside, look for water stains on ceilings or near skylights. Damp spots in the attic are a key indicator. Since some damage isn't obvious from the ground, we recommend a free professional inspection. We'll check for subtle issues like lifted flashing or granule loss that, if left unrepaired, can lead to major leaks common in our climate.
