Questions and Answers

After a storm, how do I know if my roof leak is a simple repair or needs a full replacement?

We recommend a professional roof inspection. Our team will assess the extent of storm damage, checking for missing shingles, compromised flashing, and underlying decking issues. In many cases, a targeted roof repair is sufficient. However, if the damage is widespread or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a roof replacement might be the more cost-effective, long-term solution for your Rochester home.

My roof skylight is leaking. Can you fix it, or is a whole new installation needed?

Skylight leaks are common and often repairable. Our skylight installation experts will first identify the source of the leak, which is usually failed flashing or sealant around the unit. We typically repair it on the spot. If the skylight itself is cracked or excessively aged, we can discuss a replacement. Proper installation is key to preventing future leaks, and we ensure a watertight fit for Rochester's weather.

What's the difference between a roof repair, reroofing, and a full roof replacement?

A roof repair addresses specific, localized damage like a few missing shingles. Reroofing involves installing a new layer of shingles over the existing one, which can be a good option if the deck is sound. A full roof replacement is the most comprehensive solution, stripping the old roof down to the deck and installing all-new materials. For many Rochester homes with persistent leak issues, a replacement offers the most durable, long-lasting protection.
