White & Sons Roofing | Roofing Services in Reading, PA 19605

The first step is to contact us for a professional roof inspection. In Reading, melting snow often reveals pre-existing damage or creates new issues like ice dams. We'll safely assess the source of the leak, check for compromised shingles, damaged flashing, and gutter blockages. Catching it early with a repair can prevent more extensive—and expensive—interior water damage to your home.

In our area, ice dams form when heat escapes from the attic, melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the colder eaves. Properly sized and installed gutters, along with a well-ventilated attic, are crucial. White & Sons ensures gutters are pitched correctly and securely attached to handle heavy snowmelt runoff, directing water away from your roof edge to minimize the pooling that leads to ice dams and leaks.

This depends on the extent of the damage from our local weather. We often recommend a replacement if repeated freeze-thaw cycles have caused widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or significant structural weakening. For localized damage from a single ice dam or storm, a repair is often sufficient. Our thorough inspection will give you a clear, honest recommendation on the most cost-effective solution to protect your Reading home long-term.
