Schultz Roofing & Gutters | Roofing Services in Rochester, NY 14606

In Rochester, roof nail pops are frequently caused by the expansion and contraction of roof decking during our freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, this movement can push nails up, breaking the seal and creating potential leak points. Our repair process involves carefully removing the popped nail, sealing the hole, and installing a new, longer nail with a rubber washer sealant in a different location on the truss to ensure a watertight, secure hold that can withstand our local temperature swings.

Skylight leaks are common here due to aging sealants, cracked flashing, or ice dam formation from heavy snow. A proper repair isn't just about caulking; it requires a full assessment. We inspect the skylight curb, flashing integration with the shingles, and the condition of the sealants. Repairs typically involve removing surrounding shingles, installing new step-flashing integrated with a waterproof membrane, and applying high-grade, flexible sealants designed for our climate to create a durable, long-lasting barrier against moisture.

Proper gutters are your roof's first line of defense. In Rochester, clogged or damaged gutters can lead to water backup, which contributes to ice dams, soffit rot, and water intrusion around roof edges—worsening issues like nail pops and skylight leaks. Our gutter services include cleaning, repair, and installation of seamless systems with adequate downspouts to channel water away from your foundation. This proactive protection reduces the strain on your roof and helps prevent many common local leaks before they start.
