Phillip & Sons Roofing | Roofing Services in Scarsdale, NY 10583

In our experience, the primary culprit is failed or degraded flashing—the metal seal around the skylight frame. Scarsdale's freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal storms can wear it down over time. Our fix involves a thorough inspection, careful removal of the old flashing, and installation of new, high-quality flashing integrated with your existing roof system. We also check and reseal the skylight's glass panes to ensure a complete, watertight solution that lasts.

Moss holds moisture against your roof shingles, which can lead to premature rot, granule loss, and even leaks under the shingles. Simply power-washing can strip away protective granules. Our safe, effective removal process involves applying a specialized eco-friendly treatment to kill the moss, followed by gentle manual removal. We then recommend and can apply zinc or copper strip treatments along your roof ridge—a proven method to inhibit future moss growth common in our shaded, humid Scarsdale neighborhoods.

Absolutely. In most cases, a skilled, targeted repair is all that's needed. We perform a precise diagnosis to isolate the leak's source—often at the flashing, sealant, or a single compromised shingle. Our repairs are designed to match the existing roof system seamlessly, avoiding unnecessary cost and disruption. We'll always give you an honest assessment; if the surrounding roof is nearing the end of its life, we'll discuss all your options, but our goal is always the most efficient, cost-effective fix first.
