Call (888) 685-2250What roof repair in Gardner, MA usually involves
Gardner gets snowy winters, ice dams and nor'easters, and that shapes what goes wrong with roofs here. These are the problems a roofer in Gardner checks for first.
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.
Freeze–thaw at the joints
Repeated freezing and thawing opens joints in step flashing and around vent pipes. Sealant over a moving joint fails within a season; the flashing needs resetting.
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.
