Operation Roofing | Roofing Services in Fairbanks, AK 99709

The key is proper attic insulation and ventilation. In Fairbanks, warm air escaping into the attic melts snow, which refreezes at the colder eaves, forming ice dams that damage soffits. We perform assessments to ensure your attic is properly sealed and vented, preventing this cycle. Installing ice and water shield underlayment at the eaves is also a critical, code-recommended step we take for new roofs and major repairs.

Flashing, the metal strips sealing roof joints, becomes brittle in Fairbanks' deep cold and can crack during thermal contraction. Standard materials often fail here. We use cold-weather rated, malleable metals and specialized installation techniques that allow for expansion and contraction. A proper repair involves removing the damaged section, sealing the underlying area, and installing new, flexible flashing integrated with your roof's waterproofing layers.

While major installations are best in warmer months, emergency repairs for leaks or damage should never wait. For preventative maintenance and assessments, late spring through early fall is ideal. This allows us to fully inspect the roof without snow cover and perform any corrective work before winter sets in. However, we offer year-round emergency tarping and temporary fixes to secure your Fairbanks home until a permanent repair can be made.
