R S Roofing & Sheet Metal Co | Roofing Services in Nanuet, NY 10954

Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof deck cold and even. For existing homes in Nanuet, we recommend a professional inspection to assess your current setup. Solutions often include sealing air leaks, adding insulation, and installing waterproof underlayment at the eaves. In severe cases, a roof replacement with ice and water shield protection is the most durable defense against our local winter weather.

Signs of underlayment damage often appear inside your home. Look for water stains on ceilings or walls, especially after heavy rain or snowmelt. In your attic, check for daylight visible through the roof boards or feel for damp spots. Since underlayment is beneath the shingles, visible exterior damage usually means it's time for a professional assessment. Our Nanuet team can perform a non-invasive inspection to determine if spot repairs or a section replacement is needed.

Sheet metal components like flashing, valleys, and drip edges are critical in Nanuet because they direct water away from vulnerable seams and joints. Our harsh winters and heavy rains make these areas prone to failure, leading to leaks and ice dam formation. Properly fabricated and installed sheet metal acts as a durable, watertight seal. We custom-bend flashing on-site for a perfect fit, ensuring long-term protection where your roof meets chimneys, vents, and walls.
