Roofing Repair Grand Rapids MI | Call Noble Coatings & Roofing

In Grand Rapids, the primary culprit is often failed or degraded sealant around the skylight frame, exacerbated by our temperature swings. We fix this by carefully removing the old, cracked sealant, inspecting the flashing for any hidden damage, and applying a new, high-grade, weatherproof sealant designed to expand and contract with the seasons. This precise repair stops the immediate leak and prevents future water intrusion.

Yes, it's a serious issue. Flashing separation often occurs due to age, improper installation, or the constant expansion and contraction from Michigan's weather. When flashing around chimneys, vents, or valleys pulls away, it creates a direct path for water into your roof deck and attic. We address this by removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, code-compliant flashing that's properly integrated with your shingles to create a lasting, watertight seal.

Many of the leaks we see from skylights or flashing are localized. Our priority is always to recommend the most cost-effective, long-term solution. Often, a targeted repair is perfectly sufficient if the surrounding roof structure and shingles are in good condition. We'll provide a thorough, honest inspection and only advise a full replacement if it's necessary for the overall health and longevity of your roof, always explaining our reasoning clearly.
