Call (888) 685-2250Why roof repair in Franklin Square, NY starts with the weather
The weather decides which parts of a roof fail first. With snowy winters, ice dams and nor'easters, these are the repairs that come up again and again in New York.
Ice dams at the eaves
Heat escaping through the attic melts snow that refreezes at the cold overhang, and the meltwater backs up under the shingles. The repair fixes the damaged shingles and underlayment; the lasting cure is attic insulation and ventilation.
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.
Nor'easter wind damage
Wind-driven rain lifts shingle tabs along ridges, rakes and eaves. A few lifted tabs are a small repair if they are resealed or replaced before water finds the deck.

A professional roof inspection is estimated at $150–$500, depending on the size and pitch of the roof. The written price comes after it.
