Newer homes with many gables, valleys and dormers rely on flashing done right the first time. A missed kick-out flashing where a roof ends against a wall, an improperly lapped valley or a skylight set without the manufacturer's kit will leak within a few years. We find these details and correct them properly.
Whatever the age of the house, we inspect the whole roof, trace the leak from the attic side where possible and show you photos. Livingston's tree cover means debris in valleys and gutters is a frequent contributor, and we clear it as part of any repair.
Repair or replace? What we tell Livingston homeowners
If your Livingston home has a leak and the shingles are otherwise flexible and intact, a targeted repair is sensible. Ask to see photos of the source and the fix. On original or second roofs from the 1990s or earlier that show curling, cracking and granule loss, repairs will keep coming, and replacement is better value.
For a newer home that leaks within a few years of construction, the problem is almost always a flashing or detail error, and it is worth fixing it properly rather than sealing over it. We correct the detail so it works the way it was designed to.
