Rest Assured Roofing - Brooklyn's Reliable Roofing Services

Leaking chimney flashing is common here due to wind-driven rain and aging materials. We start with a thorough inspection to find the exact breach. Our repair involves carefully removing the old, failed flashing, preparing the chimney and roof surface, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with durable sealants. We pay special attention to the step flashing along the brickwork—a critical detail in Brooklyn's older homes—to ensure a watertight, long-lasting seal that withstands our local weather.

Moisture in attic insulation often stems from inadequate ventilation or a hidden roof leak, problems we see frequently in Brooklyn's varied housing stock. Trapped moisture reduces insulation effectiveness and can lead to mold. We diagnose the root cause by checking your roof's ventilation system, looking for leaks, and assessing condensation levels. Our solution may involve repairing the roof leak, improving attic ventilation with proper soffit and ridge vents, and replacing compromised insulation to restore your home's energy efficiency and protect your indoor air quality.

Before and after winter is key. Look for missing or cracked shingles, especially after high winds. Check for debris in valleys and around chimneys, as clogged gutters can cause ice dams. Inside, watch for water stains on ceilings or in the attic, which signal leaks. Feel for drafts or notice higher heating bills, which can point to insulation issues. While these are good DIY checks, we recommend a professional inspection by our team at least every two years. We know what to look for in local homes and can spot small problems before they become expensive, disruptive repairs.
