Leaks? Repairs?
If you have a leak, or if you had some shingles blow off in a high wind, Shingle Express can expertly repair your roof. Many New Castle roofing repairs are nearly invisible.
If the damage is on a highly visible section of your home, like the front, our Wilmington roofers will go to the back of your home and “harvest” replacement shingles there. These “harvested” shingles will have nearly the same degree of fading as the missing shingles. We put the “harvested” shingles in the front, and install the new, brighter repair shingles in the back. Yes, it takes twice as long, but the results are worth it. From the street, your roof does not look patched!
Other leaks are caused by torn pipe collars. Although your roof may last 30 years, the pipe collars last eight to ten years. The Newark roofers at Shingle Express can expertly remove and replace you pipe collars.
Some leaks are more difficult to find:
“We were called to a ranch house in Wilmington last year. Water was dripping into the family room. The roof above the family room was perfect! This was a mystery. We climbed into the attic, and crawled around the lowest sections until we found the wet spot. Looking above, we found that the water was traveling along a rafter. The source of the leak was a poorly flashed chimney, fourteen feet away from the spot on the family room ceiling!” Michael Glackin, Shingle Express, 2011
Sometimes, you need a little patience, and the willingness to work for the benefit of the customer.
