FLASHING AND CHIMNEY CAPS

VENT BOOT REPLACEMENT

RIDGE VENT REPLACEMENT

SHINGLES AND RIDGECAPS – We patch and replace shingles and ridgecaps, which are the bent shingles where two roof sides meet. Ridgecaps usually wear out faster than regular shingles. We typically charge 30% less than any major fully-insured roofing company. Shingles can become cracked from excessive weathering or loose and break off the roof from strong winds and storms.

FLASHING AND CHIMNEY CAPS – We install flashings and drip edges where necessary. Flashing is usually needed around the edge of a roof to keep water out of areas where boards meet at corners and where the roof and chimney come together. Drip edge is flashing the works like a slide from the edge of the roof and down into the gutter. It protects the fascia board and soffit from water damage. Flashing can become worn and needs to be replaced over time.

Chimney caps are custom-designed flashing that goes over the chimney to keep water out.  These caps rust over time and must be replaced.

PIPE BOOT REPLACEMENT – Pipe boots are the rubber hoods that surround the base of pipe pipes which extend out the exterior of one’s roof. The purpose of the boot is to prevent water from seeping into the attic creating water damage at the areas where the pipes extend. It is common for these boots to rip and rot from the constant exposure to the heat and weather elements the roof experiences. This repair is very common and, if left untreated, can lead to more expensive repairs.

RIDGE VENT – The very top edge of the roof is exposed to the elements so the attic can release heat with greater ease.  The roof vent serves as a cover over this area to let the heat escape yet keep water from getting into the roof.  Because a ridge vent is a long miniature aluminum tent, it can suffer from really strong winds that can pull it up.  Overhead limbs can fall and smash the vent.  Really old vents can start to rust and get holes.
