Problem

Leaking areas and missing shingles.

The homeowner called to report a couple of leaks and get an assessment of the roof.  So Master Roof technicians sprang into action and identified the following issues that needed quick attention at the home:

• Caulking missing around the chimney
• Replace hip and ridge areas
• Exposed nails creating leaks
• Worn and broken shingles
  

With the inspection in hand, the Master Roof team assessed that the roof was worn, but could wait a couple of years before replacement.  And with a little attention to the key issues, the roof could be made watertight, at least for the short term, with the understanding that it will need to be replace withing a few years.  However, given the overall condition of the roof system, the homeowner elected to replace the entire roof and avoid potential issues.  This included:

• Replace the broken hip and ridge areas.
• Caulking around the chimney and other key areas of flashing.
• Caulking around any exposed nails to ensure that leaks do not arise.

The Master Roof team addressed critical issues with the roof of this home, providing effective short-term solutions to resolve leaks and extend the roof’s lifespan until a full replacement is necessary. The careful attention to detail ensured the homeowner’s immediate concerns were met while planning for future needs.

Key outcomes included:

• Repaired Hip and Ridge Areas: The worn and broken sections of the roof’s hip and ridge areas were replaced, restoring the structural integrity and preventing further damage in these critical zones.
• Sealed Vulnerable Points: Missing caulking around the chimney and flashing was reapplied, effectively sealing potential entry points for water. Exposed nails, which had been contributing to leaks, were also sealed with caulking to prevent future moisture intrusion.
• Extended Roof Longevity: While the roof was identified as nearing the end of its life, these targeted repairs made the roof watertight for the short term, giving the homeowner a few additional years to plan for a full replacement.

The homeowner was pleased with the immediate resolution of the leaks and the professional advice provided by Master Roof. By focusing on critical repairs, the team delivered a practical and cost-effective solution while ensuring the home remained protected from further water damage. This project highlights Master Roof’s ability to balance immediate needs with long-term planning, providing tailored solutions that prioritize both quality and customer satisfaction.
