Roof repairs are typically more budget-friendly than a full roof installation. Repairing isolated issues, such as damaged shingles or small leaks, is often significantly less expensive than replacing the entire roof. This is one of our most popular types of service due to how friendly it is for our client's wallets.
Many insurance policies cover roof repairs, particularly for issues like storm damage or sudden leaks. This can alleviate the financial burden of repairs. Roof installation, on the other hand, is usually not covered by insurance as a maintenance expense.
Fixing minor problems promptly can extend the lifespan of your existing roof. By addressing issues early, you can prevent them from escalating into more extensive and costly damage. Having roof repair work may prevent you from having to get a roof installation done for a number of years.
Roof repairs typically have a shorter project duration compared to roof installations. Since roof repair focuses on addressing specific issues, the work can often be completed more quickly. This minimizes the amount of time your home is under construction or repair, allowing you to return to your normal routines and activities sooner.
Roof repairs are generally less intrusive to your daily life and the interior of your home. The repair work is localized to the area where the issue exists, meaning there's less disruption to the overall functioning of your house. In contrast, a roof installation is a more extensive process that can disrupt your entire home for a more extended period. There is overall less impact to our client's daily lives.
Roof repairs provide immediate solutions to pressing issues such as leaks, which can prevent further damage to your home's interior and belongings. This quick action can also minimize the risk of mold and mildew growth. At Herman Exterior Homes, we will make sure to complete our roof repair project as efficiently as possible.
Roof leaks are one of the most frequent reasons for repair. Water infiltrating the roof can cause extensive damage to your home's interior, leading to structural issues and mold growth if left unaddressed.
First, we clear any debris and apply a temporary cover to stop further water entry. Then, Repairing the source of the leak is essential to prevent further damage. We apply a sealant or patch to the source of the leak, ensuring a watertight seal. Finally, we replace any removed roofing materials, like shingles or flashing, to complete the repair.
Shingles can be damaged or blown off by high winds, hail, or heavy rain. Additionally, the natural aging process can cause shingles to deteriorate and lose their protective qualities. This is especially common in Schenectady, where there is frequent inclement weather to cause wear-and-tear.
We slide the new shingle into place, ensuring it fits snugly with the surrounding shingles. We secure it in position with roofing nails, making sure it's flush with the rest of the roof. To ensure a watertight seal, we use roofing cement or sealant under the edges of the new shingle and press it down firmly.
Flashing is used to seal roof penetrations such as chimneys, vents, and skylights. If flashing is improperly installed or deteriorates, it can allow water to enter the roof system. Flashing issues often result in leaks, and addressing them is vital to prevent water damage and ensure the watertight integrity of the roof. Proper installation and maintenance of flashing are key to avoiding future problems.
We cut and shape new flashing materials to fit the specific penetration. We ensure a proper overlap with the adjacent roofing materials to create a watertight seal.
There are dozens of other reasons why you may need us for your roof repair, such as; Sagging or Deteriorating Roofs, downspout issues, roof ventilation issues, or even pest or wildlife damage. Please give us a call and we will make sure that you are taken care of.
