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.

Challenge This homeowner was experiencing a constant leak over their dining room area.  Upon inspection of the double layer roof, it was determined that the underlayment and plywood may need to be replaced.

Challenge The homeowner had wind damage to the roof that was causing leaks below.  Our team discovered that there was more than just a few leaks that needed repair.   Solution We completed a temporary repair for the home until we were able to complete a full tear off and replacement.

Challenge Over time, skylights become susceptible to leaks. Solution We offer a wide range of repairs, skylights being one of them.

Challenge Weather is the single largest threat to your roof.  Improper ventilation allows water seepage, and at the same time does not allow the heat and moisture inside the house a place to escape without building up mold in your rafters.

Challenge Roofs leak for a number of reasons. Not every leak means a pricey fix. Solution Sometimes all a leak is something loose on your roof. All you might need to do is tighten things attached to your roof to stop a leak.

Challenge Big leaks can occur from even the smallest problems. This roof leaked from a small nail that was not properly covered by shingle.  Solution Shingles are designed in such a way as to prevent leaks. However, if installed improperly, leaks can occur.

Challenge There are a lot of different types of shingles that we offer. Solution Malarkey Shingles are the greenest option we have. They are made from recycled material and are extremely reliable when it comes to impact resistance.
