NORTHSTAR HOME IMPROVEMENTS | Roofing Services in Rochester, NY 14623

We start by safely removing the ice dam to prevent further water intrusion. Then, we assess and repair any water-damaged roof decking, shingles, and interior areas. Crucially, we inspect your attic's insulation and ventilation—common culprits behind ice dams in our climate—and recommend improvements to prevent future problems, ensuring your repair lasts.

It depends on the extent of the rust. Our Rochester-based team will carefully inspect the flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Minor surface rust can often be treated and sealed, but if corrosion has created holes or weak spots, replacement is necessary. We use high-quality, galvanized or aluminum flashing designed to withstand our area's moisture and temperature swings.

Prevention is key. For ice dams, ensure your attic is properly insulated and ventilated to maintain a consistent roof temperature. For flashing rust, schedule a routine roof inspection, especially after winter. We can clean debris from flashing channels, check sealant integrity, and spot early signs of corrosion. These proactive steps, tailored to our local weather, can save you from costly emergency repairs.
