Shingle Roof Repair
This shingle roof repair required removing shingles and replacing rotten wood. Due to a plumbing stack leaking the wood around it was rotten. Once we removed the shingles to expose the damaged wood, once removed we replaced the wood. We install better underlayment instead of felt paper, which roofers will do. They do this to make more on the job. However, the homeowner loses in the end because the material fails quickly. Plumbing stacks are famous for leaking because many roofers apply tar around the stack. Instead of using a fifty-dollar item that will last the roof’s life, they will cut corners.
The new shingles were then installed by lacing them into existing roof shingles. Now, this is a perfect shingle roof repair.

How To Know If The Roof Leak Is Bad
- Stand out in the yard and look at the leak area. Do you see a dip in the roof or possibly a nail sticking up?
- The valley is where the two roof pitches come together. Do you seek the valley buckling?
- The overhangs of the roof in the area are called soffits. Do you have brown stains? Or mold stains?
- Look where the electrical mast comes to the house. On the side of the house where the meter is, the pipe goes through the roof. Does the roof dip around it? Are there stains in the soffit area?
