FAQs
What are the most common roof problems you repair in Pelham?
In Pelham we most often address storm-related shingle loss, cracked or slipped slate, damaged flashing around chimneys and skylights, leaks at roof valleys, and premature wear caused by the region’s hot summers and occasional ice storms. Each of these issues can usually be corrected with spot repairs that restore water-tightness without requiring a complete reroof.
Which repair techniques do you consider "proven" and why?
We rely on techniques that have demonstrated long-term performance in the field: (1) shingle replacement with six-nail, manufacturer-matched shingles and high-temperature ice-and-water underlayment; (2) step- and counter-flashing removal and reset using 24-gauge pre-finished steel or copper; (3) slate and tile repairs secured with stainless-steel hooks rather than visible face nails; (4) polyurethane roof-cement embedding for small membrane patches; and (5) sealed valley metal retrofits. All of these methods are endorsed by the NRCA and carry material warranties, so we know they last in Pelham’s climate.
How do I know whether I need a repair or a full roof replacement?
We start with a free 15-point inspection that evaluates shingle condition, underlayment, decking integrity, ventilation, and attic moisture. If damage is isolated to less than 25-30 % of the surface, the deck is solid, and the roof is under 15 years old, targeted repairs are normally sufficient. When widespread granule loss, multiple active leaks, or structural sagging is present, we recommend replacement. You will receive photos and a written condition report so you can make an informed choice.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency leak in Pelham?
Our on-call repair crew is based on Highway 31, allowing us to reach most Pelham addresses within 60–90 minutes. In an emergency we will install a temporary tarp or patch to stop active water entry, then schedule permanent repairs—often the very next business day once materials are matched and the weather is clear.
What kind of warranty do you provide on roof repairs?
Standard workmanship on minor repairs is covered for 2 years, meaning we will return at no labor charge if the same area leaks again. For larger sectional repairs that include new underlayment and flashing, we extend the workmanship warranty to 5 years. All materials are backed by manufacturers’ limited lifetime or 25-year warranties, depending on the product installed.
Will a repair match the appearance of my existing roof?
Yes. We maintain an inventory of Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed shingle colors commonly used in Pelham subdivisions. For slate and tile roofs we source reclaimed or new-to-match pieces to blend texture and hue. Our technicians feather new shingles into surrounding courses and set granule sealant to minimize color transition, so the repaired area is virtually undetectable from street level.
