Common Questions

Why are skylight leaks so common in Kalkaska, and how can you fix them?

Kalkaska's weather is tough on roofs. The frequent freeze-thaw cycles can cause the sealants and flashing around skylights to crack and fail, leading to leaks. At R Jay's, we start with a detailed inspection to find the exact failure point. Our repair involves removing the old, compromised materials, installing new ice and water shield for extra protection, and resealing the skylight with high-grade, flexible sealants designed for our Michigan climate. This precise approach stops the leak and helps prevent it from recurring.

What causes roof nail pops, and are they a serious problem?

Roof nail pops are a very common sight in our area. They happen when the roofing nails work their way up and out of the decking, often due to the wood expanding and contracting with temperature swings and humidity changes. While a single pop might seem minor, it creates a point where water can seep in and damage your roof deck and attic. We don't just hammer them back down; we properly secure the shingle and seal the area to maintain your roof's watertight integrity and prevent future issues.

Can you handle both the roofing repair and any interior damage from a leak?

Absolutely. As a full-service roofing and construction company, we're your single point of contact. First, we'll fix the roof leak at its source, whether it's at a skylight, around vents, or from nail pops. Then, our construction team can expertly handle any resulting interior damage. This includes repairing stained or sagging drywall, addressing insulation, and repainting—ensuring your home is fully restored inside and out. This comprehensive service saves you time and the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors.
