Chimney Base Roof Repair

This project involved repairing the roof base around a chimney in New York, NY. The main focus was to identify and mend any damage that posed a risk to the integrity of the roof and prevent future leaks. Our team started by thoroughly assessing the condition of the shingles and underlayment to locate the weak points around the chimney area.

The initial inspection revealed significant water damage to the wooden structures beneath the shingles. We noted a compromised section where water was seeping through, necessitating immediate repairs. Carefully, we removed the damaged shingles to expose the area that required attention. The removal process was done with precision to avoid extending the damage beyond the target zone.

Once the affected roof area was exposed, we expertly cut out the damaged wood. Ensuring a snug fit, we crafted and installed a tailored patch of plywood to replace the rotten segments. This was a crucial step to restore the structural support of the roof and assure the stability of the chimney base.

Following the wood repair, we laid a fresh underlayment designed to repel water effectively and then began reinstalling new shingles that matched the existing roof in both style and color. Special attention was given to seal around the chimney itself, enhancing moisture prevention and ensuring a seamless appearance upon completion.

Working on rooftops, especially near a chimney, can present particular challenges due to the steep incline and the precarious positioning. However, our experienced team managed each stage meticulously, prioritizing safety while ensuring a clean and professional finish.

Through methodical execution and attention to detail, we've reinforced the roof's protection against weather elements and enhanced its durability, providing peace of mind for the homeowners knowing their roof is sound and secure.
