Focus Area Roofs
Why has “a roof over your head” become synonymous with comfort and shelter? Given the number of typical roofing problems, the expression should more accurately connote dripping ceilings and headaches.
From green roofs to historic slate, we know the issues, and we know the solution.
Inappropriate design. Poor installation. Severe weather. Old age. Whatever the cause, roof leaks can quickly lead to interior and structural damage. How do you know where to find the leak, how to fix it, or whether it’s time for a new roof?
