Freeze-thaw cycles do more damage here than any one storm, and we are licensed and insured for the work that follows.
Freeze-thaw cycles do more damage here than any one storm, and we are licensed and insured for the work that follows. Water wicks into a hairline split on a south-facing slope, freezes overnight, and peels the shingle mat loose from the decking.
We open every job with a roof inspection, because the failure is rarely where the ceiling stain appears. A valley that traps debris pushes water sideways under the step flashing, and it seeps along the rafter until it surfaces two rooms away.
The housing stock decides the method. Early 1900s single-family homes with slate and asphalt shingles get a careful tear-off and a fresh ice-and-water shield along the eave. Post-war ranch and cape cod homes from the 1950s and 60s usually carry three-tab shingle over plywood sheathing that has already settled.
For multi-family colonial and Victorian-era properties, occupied-building work means staging the dumpster off the driveway, scheduling tear-off during reasonable hours, and containing debris so tenants keep their entrances clear. An active leak gets priority over scheduled work.
Gutters and downspouts get resealed at every seam, and we check the attic fan, ridge vent, and soffit vent together. Trapped heat cooks the underlayment from below long before the shingles look worn from the street.
