• We will clean all glass on your existing skylights and reseal all potential problem areas.
• We will examine and review the flashing for your fireplace. These areas tend to be platforms for potential roofing issues. We ensure that our maintenance helps prevent any problems before they are likely to start.

Common Skylight Problems

Skylights can develop numerous issues that compromise both functionality and home safety. Water infiltration represents the most serious concern, often resulting from deteriorated seals, cracked glazing, or improper installation. These leaks can cause extensive interior damage, including ceiling stains, mold growth, and structural deterioration. Thermal problems also plague skylights, with poor insulation leading to significant heat loss in winter and excessive heat gain during summer months. Condensation buildup creates additional moisture issues, potentially damaging surrounding materials and creating unhealthy indoor conditions. The key issues include:

• Seal failures and weatherstripping deterioration
• Cracked or broken glass panels
• Warped frames and structural damage
• Flashing issues causing water penetration
• Hardware malfunctions in operable units
• Energy efficiency loss due to poor sealing
• Ice dam formation in winter climates

Common Chimney Flashing Problems

Chimney flashing failures represent one of the most frequent sources of roof leaks, causing extensive water damage to homes. This critical waterproofing component faces constant exposure to harsh weather conditions, temperature fluctuations, and structural movement that gradually compromise its integrity. When flashing fails, water infiltrates the home's structure, leading to costly repairs and potential health hazards from mold growth. The common issues include:

• Cracked or split flashing material due to thermal expansion
• Corroded metal flashing, especially in older galvanized installations
• Loose or missing flashing sections caused by wind damage
• Deteriorated sealant and caulking around joints
• Improper installation leading to immediate leak problems
• Step flashing separation resulting from shingle movement
• Counter-flashing pulling away from the chimney masonry

These issues typically stem from age-related deterioration, as flashing materials gradually degrade. Extreme weather conditions accelerate this process, with freeze-thaw cycles causing expansion and contraction that cracks seals and loosen connections. Poor initial installation often creates immediate vulnerabilities, while a lack of regular maintenance allows minor issues to develop into major failures requiring extensive repairs.

Our comprehensive maintenance programs include seasonal inspections, preventive care, and prompt problem resolution. We understand that these issues don't wait for convenient timing, so we prioritize rapid response and effective solutions.
