Xcut Construction | Roofing Services in Lake Linden, MI 49945

We start by carefully removing the compromised section. Then, we fabricate and install new, heavy-gauge metal flashing, custom-bent to fit your specific roof pitch and the penetration. The key in our climate is a proper step-flashing technique integrated with the shingles and a robust sealant that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles. We ensure a watertight seal that directs moisture away from the structure, addressing the root cause of the separation.

In most cases, a skilled carpenter can repair a damaged ridge cap without a full roof replacement. We'll remove the damaged cap shingles, inspect the underlying ridge board for integrity (common in older Lake Linden homes), and replace it if needed. We then install new ridge cap shingles, properly nailed and sealed to withstand the high winds we see in the area. This targeted repair restores protection and ventilation at the roof's peak.

Roof flashing and ridge caps are not just about shingles—they involve critical wood framing, sheathing, and precise joinery. As carpenters, we understand the entire roof structure. When we repair flashing, we also check and repair any rotted roof decking or rafters it was meant to protect. For ridge caps, we ensure the underlying ridge board is sound. This structural knowledge is essential for a lasting fix that handles our heavy snow loads and prevents small issues from becoming major, costly structural damage.
