Asset Roofing & Chimney traces each leak to its source and fixes it properly. On the gambrel roofs of Dutch colonials, the break between the upper and lower slopes is a frequent trouble spot. On foursquares with hipped roofs and a central dormer, the dormer and the hip ridges get our attention first. We also repair the flat roofs on Main Street's commercial buildings.
Repair or replace? What we tell Chatham homeowners
For a localized leak on a roof that still has sound shingles, we repair the flashing or valley at fault and replace the shingles we disturb with matching material. On a Chatham roof that has been patched many times, we give you a frank assessment of how much life remains so you can decide whether a repair is worth it or whether to plan a replacement.
Ice dam leaks are best addressed in two parts: repairing the damaged area with ice-and-water membrane under the new shingles, and improving attic insulation and ventilation so the snow stops melting from underneath. We will tell you what we see in the attic during the visit.
