This is a very common issue here. The repeated freeze-thaw cycles we experience cause existing minor damage—like cracked shingles or worn sealant around vents—to expand. When the heavy snow finally melts, water finds these new pathways into your home. A Star Roofing inspection can pinpoint these vulnerable spots before they lead to major interior damage.

Nail pops are a classic sign of Rochester's temperature swings. The wooden roof decking expands and contracts, which can push the roofing nails upward over time. Yes, they should be repaired. Each popped nail creates a small hole where water can seep in, leading to leaks and wood rot. We safely reseal and secure these areas to maintain your roof's integrity.

A pre-winter inspection is key. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure flashings around chimneys and vents are sealed tight, and clear your gutters to prevent ice dams. Addressing small issues like cracked caulk or a few missing granules in the fall can prevent big problems like spring leaks. It's one of the best investments you can make for your home.
