Call (888) 685-2250Why roof repair in Westerly, RI starts with the weather
Westerly gets snowy winters, ice dams and nor'easters, and that shapes what goes wrong with roofs here. These are the problems a roofer in Westerly checks for first.
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.
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.
Why isn't the leak right above the ceiling stain?
Water runs along rafters and insulation before it drips, so the stain can be several feet from the hole. That is why a proper inspection covers the attic as well as the roof.
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.
