Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Forestburgh, NY. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Forestburgh homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
When a Forestburgh homeowner calls us about roof leak repair, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the roof leak repair on your Forestburgh home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Forestburgh homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Most leak repairs on a Forestburgh home are a few hundred to around fifteen hundred dollars, depending on what has to be opened up and whether decking underneath has gone soft. The estimate is free.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Forestburgh ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Forestburgh home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
