Residential Shingle & Flat Roof Repairs
Certain components of a roofing system tend to wear out faster than the shingles themselves. Weather conditions can also contribute to roof leaks, especially if the original system was built using basic, builder-grade materials. In many cases, these lower-quality systems have a lifespan of just 12 to 18 years before requiring replacement.
If your roof is relatively new or only midway through its expected lifespan, a high-quality repair can often extend its durability without the need for a full replacement. Just like with our roof replacement services, our experienced estimators conduct a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact cause of the leak and provide you with an accurate, transparent quote for proper repairs.
Quick fixes using tar or caulking may seem like a solution, but they’re only temporary. These materials dry out, crack, and eventually fail—leading to recurring leaks and potential damage. At Upstate Roofing, we believe in doing the job right the first time. We use only high-quality materials and proper flashing techniques to ensure long-lasting repairs. Plus, we stand behind our work with a workmanship warranty, giving homeowners confidence and peace of mind.
Skylight Installation and replacement
Skylights are a great way to bring natural light into your home, but like any part of a roofing system, they require proper installation and maintenance to prevent leaks and long-term damage. Over time, skylight components such as seals, flashing, and glazing can deteriorate faster than the surrounding roof, leading to potential water infiltration. Weather conditions and poor installation can also contribute to premature failure.
If your skylight is aging, damaged, or leaking, a high-quality repair or replacement can restore its functionality without requiring a full roof overhaul. At Upstate Roofing, our experienced team carefully inspects your skylight and surrounding roofing structure to determine the best course of action. We provide clear, upfront quotes to ensure your skylight is properly installed or replaced using durable, weather-resistant materials.
Temporary fixes like caulking around a leaking skylight may seem like a quick solution, but they often fail over time as the sealants dry out and crack, allowing leaks to return. Upstate Roofing takes a long-term approach, using high-quality flashing, proper sealing techniques, and premium skylight products to ensure lasting performance. Plus, we stand behind our work with a workmanship warranty, giving homeowners confidence in their investment.
Chimney Repairs
Chimneys are a vital part of your roofing system, but over time, they can deteriorate due to weather exposure, aging materials, and poor initial construction. Key components like the chimney crown, flashing, and mortar joints often wear down faster than the chimney itself, leading to leaks, structural issues, and costly repairs if left unaddressed.
At Upstate Roofing, we specialize in chimney repairs, including repointing damaged mortar, rebuilding sections of the chimney, installing or replacing chimney caps, and repairing or replacing the chimney crown. Proper chimney/roof flashing is also essential to prevent water from seeping into your home, which is why we use high-quality materials and precise installation techniques to ensure a watertight seal.
Seamless Gutter Installation
Many homeowners choose to install or replace their gutter systems during a roof replacement project to ensure their home’s exterior remains in top condition. Upstate Roofing offers both 5″ and 6″ seamless gutter systems, tailored to fit your home’s needs. We can efficiently remove and dispose of your old gutters during the roof installation process, replacing them with high-quality gutters, downspouts, and extensions to effectively direct water away from your home.
In addition to seamless gutters, we also offer gutter guards or covers. If your gutters frequently become clogged with debris, causing water to back up or overflow, gutter guards are an excellent solution. These guards help prevent debris buildup, keeping your gutters functioning smoothly year-round.
At Upstate Roofing, we provide detailed quotes for your gutter system, outlining all available options so you can choose the right system for your home. Whether you’re replacing an old system or adding new gutters, we ensure that every installation meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
