FAQs
How do I know if my roof needs repairs or just maintenance?
Signs like leaks, missing shingles, sagging areas, or water stains inside your home typically indicate the need for repairs. Regular maintenance is more preventive, while visible damage should be addressed immediately by a professional.
What causes skylights to leak, and can they be repaired without replacement?
Damaged flashing, worn seals, or cracked glass often cause skylight leaks. In many cases, a complete replacement isn’t necessary—targeted repairs can restore functionality and prevent future water intrusion.
How important is chimney flashing, and what happens if it's damaged?
Chimney flashing prevents water from entering where the chimney meets the roof. Damaged flashing can lead to hidden leaks, mold, and structural rot. Timely repairs protect both your roof and interior.
Can I replace a few asphalt shingles, or does the whole roof need to be redone?
If the damage is localized, individual shingles can usually be replaced. A full replacement is only necessary if there's widespread deterioration or underlying damage.
What’s the role of a ridge cap, and why would it need repairs?
Ridge caps seal the roof’s peak and aid in ventilation. If cracked or missing, they can allow water and pests to enter. Repairing them helps maintain airflow and roof durability.
Why is my vent pipe leaking even though the pipe itself seems fine?
Leaks often occur around the rubber gasket that seals the pipe, not the pipe itself. Over time, these gaskets crack or shrink, allowing water in. Replacing the gasket solves the issue.
