Roof and Gutter Repairs

Temperature changes and weight from debris will cause gutter spikes to pull out of their original positions. This continual strain will pull and tilt the gutters and downspout. Therefore, making them much less effective. Eventually, a large gap between the rain gutters and the fascia board is created. We eliminate this problem by re-securing gutters using specialized materials and techniques that re-position gutters into their original place.

Worn out and/or leaking gutter seams is another common problem with gutters. Over time, the seams that hold your gutter components together will wear down and begin to leak. During heavy rain, worn-out gutter seams may spew water, leading to potential water damage. Consequently, leaky gutters exacerbate your home's maintenance issues and cause a need for additional gutter and roof repairs.

Very often, for a variety of reasons, gutters or downspouts may simply come loose from your home. In almost all cases, this can be repaired at the same time as a gutter cleaning service for a modest charge. We make all of these gutter repairs using high strength hidden hangers with screws to provide a permanent gutter repair.

Your home has several plumbing vents that exit through your roofing. These vents are protected (from water entry into the attic) by a vent boot. These vent boots are generally made of a rubber/vinyl product stretched over the boot, and under the shingle, sealing out water from entering the house through the same hole that lets the PVC vent pipe exit the roof. While your roofing will generally have a life expectancy of around 15 - 20+ years (for a traditional roof), these vent boots will usually begin to dry rot, crack & decay around the age of 7-8 years or so.

Vent boots, when decayed, will allow small, and regular water entry into the attic, which may be indicated by spots on your sheetrock ceilings. They are considered a regular maintenance item on your roofing and can be replaced when needed by us, or your roofing contractor. Since we are already on your roof, we are generally able to cap or replace these boots at a lower rate than other roofing companies. Once there is dry rotting and deterioration, you should consider changing all your vent boots at the same time to ensure proper roof protection. Please note: we do not caulk, tar, or otherwise seal damaged vent boots to stop roof leaks, as this would only provide a temporary and not-proper repair.
