Six kinds of roofing work we take on, with the usual problem, typical size and timing, so you can see what to expect on yours.
When you need it: Two old layers of shingles, curling on the south slope, or a stain at the chimney.
What we do: We tear off both layers, replace soft deck boards, add ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, then install new architectural shingles, chimney flashing and ridge vent.
When you need it: Several coats of silver paint over old tar, with puddles that stay for days.
What we do: We strip the old layers, add tapered insulation toward the gutter and fully adhere a new EPDM roof with new edge metal.
When you need it: Slipped slates after a windstorm, or a leaking valley over a bedroom.
What we do: We replace broken slates with a close match, using copper nails and hooks, and rebuild the valley in new metal while keeping the rest of the roof.
When you need it: A ceiling stain that keeps coming back, under flashing that is only caulked to the brick.
What we do: We remove the old flashing, weave in new step flashing and cut new counterflashing into the mortar joints.
When you need it: Old steel gutters pulling off rotted fascia, with water running down the wall.
What we do: We replace rotted boards, add drip edge, wrap the fascia in aluminum and hang 6 inch seamless gutters with larger downspouts.
When you need it: A low-slope porch roof that keeps leaking where it meets the house.
What we do: We tear off the old roofing, add high-temperature underlayment and install standing seam panels with new wall flashing.
We look at the roof, show you photos and give you a fixed written price.
