Questions and Answers
How do you safely remove moss from my Buffalo roof without causing damage?
We use a specialized, low-pressure cleaning solution specifically designed to kill moss and algae at the root, followed by gentle manual removal. This prevents the granules on your shingles from being washed away, which is a common risk with high-pressure washing. After cleaning, we can apply a zinc or copper-based treatment strip along the ridge to help inhibit future moss growth, a key preventative step in our damp climate.
Why are roof valleys so prone to leaking in Western New York?
Roof valleys are the channels where two roof planes meet, and they handle a concentrated flow of water, snow, and ice melt. In Buffalo, heavy snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles can cause ice dams that push water under the shingles, while constant moisture can degrade valley flashing over time. We inspect the entire valley system, repair or replace compromised flashing with heavy-gauge metal, and ensure proper underlayment is installed to create a watertight seal that stands up to our local weather.
What roof repair services do you offer for the specific leaks common in this area?
Our most frequent repairs target the vulnerabilities Buffalo weather exposes. This includes resealing or replacing cracked and lifted flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights; repairing damaged shingles in valleys and along eaves where ice dam damage occurs; and addressing compromised underlayment. We focus on fixing the root cause of the leak, not just the visible symptom, to provide a lasting solution that protects your home's interior.
