roof leak repair for Short Hills homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
A leak in a Short Hills house almost never announces where it started. Water runs down decking and along rafters before it finally shows on a ceiling, so we work backward from the stain to the real point of entry and fix that.
Our roof leak repair work in Short Hills is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Short Hills roof leak repair for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
Knowing when it leaks — every rain, only in a driving wind, only after snow — narrows it down quickly.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
We repair what is letting water in rather than the symptom, which usually means reworking flashing instead of adding more sealant.
Then we clean up and give you an honest word on how much life the roof has left.
What comes up on just about every estimate for a job like this.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Short Hills homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Most leak repairs on a Short Hills home are a few hundred to around fifteen hundred dollars, depending on what has to be opened up and whether decking underneath has gone soft. The estimate is free.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Short Hills ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Yes, and it is included. A Short Hills roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"Called about shingles that blew off in a storm. They were out the next morning, patched it, and would not take a dime more than what the estimate said."
