Call (351) 444-1601Note 01Are roofers responsible for ice damming?
A roofer does not cause the ice, but the roof's eaves detail is what decides whether the backed-up water gets in. If a roof was replaced without ice barrier membrane at the eaves, that is worth raising with whoever did it, and worth asking about on any new quote.
Note 02Is it expensive to fix a roof leak?
Usually not. Most leak repairs are estimated at $400 to $2,000, and the fix itself is often a pipe boot, a flashing or a few shingles. What makes a leak expensive is leaving it, because the water keeps working on the sheathing and the ceiling while it runs.
Note 03When to worry about a roof leak?
Straight away if the water is near a light fixture, the ceiling bulges, or the leak grows with every rain. An old, dry stain that has not grown is worth having traced, but it is not an emergency.
