Our meticulous inspections pinpoint the source of valley leaks, followed by precise slate repair or specialized flashing installation to direct water away from your home. For problematic gutters, we offer cleaning, repair, or seamless replacement with systems sized to handle heavy rainfall, preventing costly overflow and foundation damage. We provide honest assessments and lasting solutions to protect your Somerville home.

Q&A

My roof valley is leaking in Somerville. Can you repair it, or do I need a full roof replacement?

Often, a valley leak can be repaired without a full replacement. We start with a thorough roof inspection to identify the cause, which is commonly worn flashing or damaged slates in the valley itself. As slate specialists, we can precisely replace individual slates and install new, heavy-duty flashing to properly channel water into your gutters, saving you the cost of a premature reroof.

My gutters overflow even after I clean them. What's the solution for my Somerville home?

Persistent overflow usually means your gutters are undersized, improperly pitched, or clogged at a critical point like the downspout. We offer gutter inspection and cleaning to clear blockages. If the system is inadequate, we recommend gutter replacement with larger, seamless gutters and additional downspouts specifically calculated for our local rainfall intensity to prevent overflow and protect your foundation.

How does a new roof installation with you help prevent the common gutter and leak problems in this area?

Our new roof and gutter installations are designed as a complete system. We ensure proper roof valley construction and integration with ice and water shield to prevent leaks at the source. Then, we install seamless gutters sized for Somerville's weather, with the correct pitch and strategic downspout placement to handle the runoff efficiently. This integrated approach solves both problems for the long term.
