Not necessarily a full replacement. Often, leaks around skylights or flashing are due to failed seals or improper installation. Our first step is a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact source. We frequently resolve these common local issues with targeted repairs, re-sealing, or flashing replacement, saving you the cost of a new roof. However, if we find widespread wear or underlying deck damage, we'll provide an honest assessment and discuss all your options.

We can handle both! For many Kewanee homes, a repair—like replacing rotten boards or securing loose railings—is all that's needed to restore safety and appearance. We'll evaluate the deck's structure, ledger board attachment, and footing posts. If the frame is sound, repair is a smart choice. If there's significant rot or structural compromise, especially with older decks, a replacement is safer and offers a better long-term value, allowing for modern materials and design.

Reroofing involves installing a new shingle layer over one existing layer, provided your roof deck is structurally sound. It's a cost-effective and faster option that can address general wear and minor leaks. However, it doesn't allow for inspection or repair of the underlying deck, and it's not suitable for fixing localized issues like flashing separation. For many homes in our area, we recommend a full tear-off and replacement to properly address flashing, inspect the deck, and ensure a warranty-compliant installation that offers maximum protection.
