This is a common issue here. Snow and ice can build up in valleys, around chimneys, and under shingles. As it thaws, water finds its way through any existing small cracks or worn seals. Our inspections focus on these vulnerable areas to find and seal the entry points before the next freeze-thaw cycle.

In our historic New England climate, the primary culprit is often failed flashing—the metal seal around the skylight frame. Over years, expansion and contraction from temperature swings can break the sealant or loosen the flashing. We repair or replace this critical component to ensure a watertight fit against our driving rains.

Absolutely. In many cases, especially with localized leaks from melting snow or a single faulty skylight, a full replacement isn't necessary. We perform precise leak detection to isolate the problem area—often a few damaged shingles, compromised sealant, or a section of flashing—and perform a targeted, high-quality repair that matches your existing roof.
