Roof Control & Gen | Roofing Services in Philadelphia, PA 19140

Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melting snow on the upper roof. The water refreezes at the colder eaves, creating a dam that traps water behind it, which can seep under shingles. In Philadelphia's winters, this is a common issue. We fix it by first safely removing the ice dam, then addressing the root cause: improving attic insulation and ventilation to prevent uneven melting. We'll also inspect for and repair any water damage to your roof deck or interior.

Nail pops occur when roofing nails back out of the decking, often due to temperature fluctuations and framing movement common in our area. They create raised bumps under shingles, breaking the seal and creating potential entry points for water. Yes, we can expertly repair them. Our process involves carefully removing the affected shingle, securing the decking, and replacing the fastener with a proper, sealed nail before reinstalling the shingle. This localized repair restores your roof's watertight barrier.
