This is a common local issue. Melting snow can expose pre-existing problems like cracked flashing, damaged shingles, or compromised seals around vents and chimneys that were covered by ice. The sudden influx of water finds these weak points, leading to leaks. We perform detailed post-winter inspections to identify and seal these vulnerabilities before they cause interior damage or roof deck rot.

A rotted deck compromises your roof's entire structure. Our repair process involves safely removing the affected roofing materials, cutting out and replacing the rotted wood decking, installing new underlayment, and then re-roofing. It's urgent because rot weakens the roof, can lead to sagging or collapse, and allows moisture to damage insulation, ceilings, and walls. Addressing it quickly with our expert team prevents far more extensive and expensive repairs.

Absolutely. Proper masonry and concrete work is crucial for a watertight roof. We repair and repoint chimney masonry, seal around roof penetrations, and ensure proper grading with concrete walkways or patios to direct water away from your foundation. This holistic approach addresses the entire water management system of your home, protecting your roof's edge and foundation from the water runoff that contributes to leaks and rot.
