Roof & Gutter Repairs

As a part of our gutter cleaning service we will make a general inspection of your roof and gutter system while we are there. We may notice, or you may ask us to check, some areas which may need maintenance or repairs. Each of our crews are very capable and equipped to provide repairs and maintenance to all of the most common roofing and gutter related issues.

Please note that we will only make repairs in a 100% proper and permanent fashion. Not all issues can be repaired easily, and some may require replacement of various parts, etc.

Our most common Gutter Related Repairs would be as follows:

Loose Gutters: Very often, for a variety of reasons, gutters or downspouts may simply come loose from the house. In most all cases, this can be repaired at the same time as a gutter cleaning service for a modest charge. We make all of these repairs using high strength hidden hangers with screws to provide a permanent repair.

Vent Boot Replacement or Capping: Your home has several plumbing vents which exit through your roofing. These vents are protected (from water entry into the attic) by a "vent boot". These vent boots are generally made of a rubber / vinyl type product stretched over the boot, and under the shingle, sealing out water from entering the house through the same hole that lets the PVC vent pipe exit the roof. While your roofing will generally have a life expectancy of around 15 - 20+ years (for a traditional roof), these vent boots will usually begin to dry rot, crack & decay around the age of 7-8 years or so. These vent boots, when decayed, will allow small, and regular water entry into the attic, which may be indicated by spots on your sheetrock ceilings. These vent boots are considered a regular maintenance item on your roofing, and can be replaced when needed by us, or your roofer. Generally we are able to cap or replace these boots at a much reduced rate than a roofer as we are already on your roofing. Once there is dry rotting and deterioration, you should consider changing all your vent boots at the same time to ensure proper roof protection. Please note: we do not caulk, tar, or otherwise seal damaged vent boots as this would only provide a temporary and not-proper repair.

Rusted, Bent, or Damaged Gutters or Downspouts: You may have gutters which are rusted, bent, or otherwise damaged. Most of the time these issues will require replacement. In these cases, we will provide you a price for new gutter replacement. We install 6" Seamless Aluminum Gutters, which are top of the line quality, and al installed to the highest install standards. For information, See section on New Gutter Installations.

Missing shingles, Ridge caps, and General Shingle Damage: There are several various shingle damages which could be present on a roof, the most common being ridge cap shingles, as they are bent, and stressed over the cap or your roofing. In most cases, if this type of damage is present, we will photo the damage, and provide this information to the homeowner, along with a price for the repair.
