Challenge The homeowner had a constant build up of ice. As it would melt and refreeze they would experience leakage. This is not quite the same as an ice dam, but was clearly causing the residents a headache.

Challenge This homeowner noticed that their siding appeared to be sliding off their home.  Upon removing the existing siding, our crew noticed that pieces were installed incorrectly and were starting to bow.

Challenge The fascia was warped in some areas therefore pulling away from the home.  In other areas it was rotting and causing the gutter to start to pull away from the garage. While the area covered isn't huge, fascia boards provide crucial protection along the edge of the roof.

Challenge This homeowner was experiencing leakage in their garage roof.  They had a few shingles replaced prior to our inspection of the roof.  What they had thought is that a squirrel was possibly destroying the roof by burrowing to get in and out of the attic.

Challenge There are many reasons why fascia might get damaged or even fall off. Whatever the reason, when the wood underneath is exposed for too long things will only get worse.

Challenge One of our fellow employees needed a small roof repair. She didn't need much. Just a few shingles were missing from her house. It was a small project, but an important one. She turned to the best! Over time, shingles will lose their original color.

Challenge This homeowner had crews out at various times to repair leaks. When our expert checked their roof they discovered more than a small leak! Solution Our superior crew tore off the existing roof.  What they found were a few soft spots in the plywood, some smaller spots of mold.

Challenge The homeowner stated that the window has been leaking in the one corner into the house and ruining the drywall. Upon removing the siding, our technicians noticed that the window was placed into the hole created by the builders for a window, but then not properly sealed from the elements.

Challenge While reroofing and venting this home, our crew pulled off the flashing cover and heard a loud crash.  When they looked into the hole now in the roof where the flashing was..they saw this cast iron flashing piece inside of the home.

Challenge Per a building code in this city, we were required to add a kick out flashing to this home after completing the roof.   Solution The flashing was against a front facing brick section of the home above a door.
