Richard's General Contracting | Roofing Services in Montgomery, NY 12549

In our area, roof deck rot and chimney flashing leaks are frequent problems, often due to our local weather patterns and aging homes. For roof deck rot, we perform a thorough inspection to assess the damage, remove the affected sections, and replace them with new, treated decking before completing the roofing work. For chimney flashing leaks, we carefully remove the old, failed flashing, prepare the surface, and install new, properly sealed flashing to create a watertight seal. Addressing these issues correctly from the start prevents more extensive and costly interior damage down the line.

Gutters are your roof's first line of defense. When gutters are clogged or damaged, water can't drain properly. This leads to overflow, which can cause water to back up under your roof shingles, saturate your roof deck, and even damage your home's siding and foundation. Our services—from cleaning and repair to full replacement—are designed to ensure water is channeled safely away from your home. Properly functioning gutters are a key part of protecting your roofing investment, especially here in Montgomery with its seasonal rain and snow.

Our roof inspection is a comprehensive, visual assessment of your entire roofing system. We check the condition of shingles or other roofing materials, look for signs of wear or damage around penetrations like skylights and chimneys, examine the flashing and seals, assess the gutters and downspouts, and inspect the attic for signs of moisture, leaks, or insufficient ventilation. For Montgomery homeowners, we pay special attention to areas prone to local issues like deck rot. The goal is to give you a clear, honest picture of your roof's condition and recommend only the necessary repairs or maintenance.
