RMA ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION in Cedar Rapids, IA 52402

It depends on the extent of the damage. Our team will perform a thorough inspection to assess if the leak is isolated or a sign of widespread wear, like curling shingles. Often, a targeted roof repair is sufficient to solve the immediate problem. However, if the storm damage is severe or your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, a roof replacement with storm-resistant materials might be the more cost-effective, long-term solution for our local climate.

Absolutely. Regular roof cleaning removes moss, algae, and debris that are common here due to our humidity. These materials trap moisture against your shingles, accelerating wear and contributing to problems like curling and granule loss. By keeping your roof clean, you extend its life, improve curb appeal, and help prevent minor issues from turning into major leaks, especially before and after our storm seasons.

We can often repair a leaking skylight by resealing the flashing or replacing worn gaskets, which are common failure points. However, if the skylight itself is cracked or the leak is due to improper initial installation, a skylight replacement might be necessary for a permanent fix. We'll evaluate the cause during our inspection and recommend the most reliable solution to ensure your skylight is watertight and energy-efficient again.
