Stutzmans Construction | Roofing Services in Dayton, OH 45417

In our climate, roof nail pops are often caused by the natural expansion and contraction of roof decking due to temperature swings and humidity. Over time, this movement can push nails up, breaking the shingle seal. At Stutzmans, we don't just hammer them down—we carefully remove the affected shingle, replace the fastener with a longer, corrosion-resistant nail or screw, and reseal the area to prevent future leaks and wind damage, ensuring a lasting repair.

Skylight leaks around Dayton are commonly due to failed flashing seals or improper installation that can't handle our seasonal downpours. Our repair process starts with a detailed inspection to find the exact failure point. We then properly reseal or replace the flashing with high-quality, waterproof materials, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your existing roofing system. We also check and address any potential water damage in the surrounding roof deck to provide a complete, watertight solution.

Good question! Nail pop leaks in our area often leave a very specific clue: a small, circular water stain on your ceiling directly below where the nail has lifted. The leak is usually intermittent, appearing mainly during wind-driven rain. Other issues, like skylight or valley leaks, typically cause stains in different patterns or locations. The safest approach is to call us for a professional inspection. We can safely access your roof, pinpoint the exact source—whether it's a nail, skylight, or other issue—and recommend the right fix.
