Call (888) 685-2250What roof repair in Central Islip, NY usually involves
Roofs in Central Islip have to cope with snowy winters, ice dams and nor'easters. These are the problems worth looking for from the ground before you call.
Chimney leaks
Water gets into a chimney through the cap, the crown, the mortar, the brick itself or the flashing. The flashing is the roofer's part of that list, and caulk smeared over it is not a repair.
Slate and older roofs
Where a house still has slate, it is usually very repairable while the slate itself is sound. Slate that is crumbling or flaking apart is the point where replacement becomes the honest answer.
Leaks nobody can find
Water runs along rafters and insulation before it drips, so the ceiling stain is rarely under the hole. Tracing it from the attic is part of the repair, not an extra.

Is a leak in the roof an emergency?
If water is coming through a ceiling or light fixture, yes. Move valuables, catch the drip, stay away from wet wiring and call. The first visit usually puts a temporary cover on so the permanent repair can be done on a dry roof.
How long can a roof go with missing shingles?
Not long. The underlayment beneath is not designed to be the outer layer, and wind can peel more shingles from the gap. Get it covered quickly and have the nailing on the rest checked.
Can a metal roof be repaired?
Yes. Most metal roof leaks are at the fasteners: rusted holes or screws that have backed out. The fix is a larger screw and a proper seal, not coating the whole roof.
