Call (888) 685-2250What roof repair in Plymouth, MA usually involves
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 Massachusetts.
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.
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.
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.
