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 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 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.
