We take pride in addressing roofing issues promptly and effectively to protect your home from further damage. Recently, a homeowner contacted us after noticing water stains along the drywall ceiling in a bedroom. Concerned about potential roof damage, they requested a thorough roof inspection. Here’s an overview of the project and how we resolved the issue.

Initial Assessment

Upon receiving the homeowner’s call, our team quickly scheduled an inspection to identify the source of the water stains. During our comprehensive inspection, we found damaged shingles and some areas of concern that needed immediate attention.

Findings:

• Damaged Shingles: Several shingles on the right/rear elevation of the roof had toe-board holes and were damaged.
• Problematic Downspout Area: Shingles around the upper downspout were compromised, causing water to seep through.
• Clogged Gutters: Gutters along the rear elevation were clogged, contributing to water overflow and leakage issues.

The Repair Process

Removing and Replacing Damaged Shingles

• Shingle Removal: We carefully removed all damaged shingles on the right/rear elevation, paying special attention to areas with toe-board holes.
• Installing New Shingles: New shingles were installed to match the existing roof, ensuring a seamless and watertight repair.

Addressing the Upper Downspout Area

• Removing Shingles: Shingles along the upper downspout were removed to provide a clean slate for repairs.
• Installing Ice and Water Shield: An ice and water shield was installed to prevent future water infiltration.
• New Shingle Installation: The new shingles were installed so that the seam was not aligned with the downspout, enhancing water diversion and preventing future leaks.

Gutter Cleaning and Protection

• Cleaning Gutters: Gutters along the rear elevation were thoroughly cleaned to remove debris and ensure proper water flow.
• Installing Leaf Guards: New leaf guards were installed to prevent future clogs and maintain efficient water drainage.
