Need roof leak repair in Tappan? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
If your Tappan roof has been caulked twice and still leaks, the caulk was never the answer. Most of the stubborn ones come down to flashing at a chimney or wall, a valley that was never lapped right, or fasteners that have backed out.
Our roof leak repair work in Tappan 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 Tappan 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.
On the roof we check the usual culprits first: chimney and wall flashing, valleys, penetrations, and any lap that was never sealed properly.
Materials get matched as close as we can so the repair blends into the roof around it.
Then we clean up and give you an honest word on how much life the roof has left.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Tappan ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Yes, and it is included. A Tappan 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.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Tappan homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Tappan home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Real feedback from homeowners we have worked for.
"Old slate roof and I was afraid nobody would touch it. They matched the pieces and now you cannot tell which ones are new."

"Standing seam on our log home. The panels are dead straight and the ridge work is clean. You can tell they have done a few of these."
