Need roof repair in Ithaca? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
Nothing about a repair on a Ithaca roof should be a mystery. We show you photographs of what we found, price the fix in writing, and do the work on the day we said. Estimates are always free, whether the job turns out to be big or small.
Our roof repair work in Ithaca 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 Ithaca roof 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.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
We get on the roof and look at where water actually gets in — flashing, valleys, laps and fasteners — not just where the damage shows.
If a repair is only going to buy you a season, we say that too, so you can plan for it instead of being surprised next spring.
If we open it up and find more than we expected, we stop and price the difference with you before going on.
We match materials as close as weathering allows so the repair does not stand out from the street.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Often, yes. A good share of the Ithaca roofs we are called to look at need flashing reworked, a valley resealed or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We tell you plainly which one you have.
Usually within a few days for Ithaca homeowners, and faster when the roof is open and water is coming in. The look and the estimate are both free.
Small repairs on a Ithaca home often run a few hundred dollars, and a larger section with flashing and decking work can reach a couple of thousand. We will not guess over the phone. We look, then we price it in writing.
We stop and show you. Nothing extra gets done on a Ithaca roof without you seeing the problem and agreeing to the price for fixing it.
Real feedback from homeowners we have worked for.
"The skylight had leaked for two years and three different people had caulked it. These folks reflashed it properly and that was the end of it."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"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."
