Prevention starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to minimize heat loss that melts snow unevenly. We recommend a professional evaluation of your roof's ventilation system and sealing of any air leaks. For existing roofs, installing a waterproof membrane under the shingles along the eaves is a highly effective barrier against water intrusion from ice dams.

Skylight leaks in our area are often caused by failed flashing—the metal or rubber seals that bridge the gap between the skylight and roof. Over time, weather and temperature fluctuations can crack or displace the flashing. A permanent fix involves removing the surrounding shingles, installing new, ice-and-water shield flashing, and integrating it seamlessly with your roof's waterproofing layer.

Not always. The need for replacement depends on the extent of water damage to the roof decking and underlying structure. We perform a detailed inspection to assess the damage. Often, we can repair the affected section by replacing damaged decking, underlayment, and shingles. However, if the roof is older or the damage is widespread, a replacement may be the most cost-effective, long-term solution.
