This is a common local issue often caused by inadequate roof ventilation and heat loss from the home. Ice blockages in gutters can lead to water backing up under your shingles, while attic frost indicates moisture buildup that can damage wood and insulation. We address this by first inspecting your attic ventilation and insulation to correct the root cause. For the gutters, we can assess if repairs, replacement with a larger size, or the addition of heating cables are the right solution to prevent future ice dams and protect your roof's edge.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the age of your roof, the extent of damage, and the condition of the underlying decking. We offer free, thorough inspections to give you a clear assessment. For newer roofs with isolated storm or wind damage, a repair is often sufficient. If your roof is near the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles), has widespread wear, or has sustained significant damage, a full replacement is usually the more durable and cost-effective long-term choice. We'll explain all options and work directly with your insurance if applicable.

Absolutely. As a full-service exterior company, we frequently coordinate multiple projects like siding installation or replacement alongside gutter addition or replacement. This integrated approach is efficient and can often be more cost-effective. For instance, when replacing siding, it's an ideal time to install new gutters, as we can ensure proper integration and flashing. We manage the entire project timeline and crew coordination, so you have one reliable point of contact from start to finish for a seamless upgrade to your home's exterior.
