Valley leaks are common here due to heavy rain and debris accumulation. A proper repair often requires removing the affected shingles, inspecting and replacing the underlying valley metal or membrane, and reinstalling everything with waterproof sealants. For severe or recurring leaks, a full roof replacement with a new, properly integrated valley system is the most reliable, long-term solution.

Many skylight leaks in our area are due to failed flashing or sealant around the unit, which we can often repair without a full replacement. We carefully remove the surrounding shingles, replace or reseal the flashing, and re-install the shingles to create a new, watertight seal. However, if the leak has caused significant deck rot or the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, we might recommend a replacement to ensure complete protection.

Repairs are ideal for isolated, localized damage—like fixing a specific leaky valley or skylight. We recommend a full replacement when leaks are widespread, the roof is old (typically 20+ years), or there's significant underlying deck damage. Given our local climate, a replacement also allows us to upgrade to modern, more durable materials and installation techniques, offering better long-term defense against the elements.
