Call (888) 685-2250Why roof repair in Shelton, CT starts with the weather
Shelton gets snowy winters, ice dams and nor'easters, and that shapes what goes wrong with roofs here. These are the problems a roofer in Shelton checks for first.
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.
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.

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.
Do roofers repair chimney leaks?
Roofers repair the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. If the water is coming through the cap, crown or the brickwork itself, that part is masonry work.
