Roof Repair

While roof repairs can be expensive and extensive, most leaks can be repaired in a cost-effective manner.
  On yesterday's project, I was dealing with a leak in an add-on where the roof met the add-on roof.  The sheetrock had been ruined and much had to be replaced.

I removed all the loose shingles and used a fiberous tar sealer to fill all the cracks and holes.
  I then went back with new shingles and roofed like you normally do roofing.  This completely sealed the joint between the two roofs.
   It is very important to get rid of all loose and bad shingles no matter how many are bad.  In this case we had whole sections that had blown up with the wind and were not nailed properly.
  If you can, it's better if you can do it on a warm day so the glue backing will stick to the shingles properly.

Roof Leak

  We run across this all the time...a leaky roof that was repaired with roof tar or another cheap sealer...
  In the hot summer, most of the black tar you buy in buckets and cans and even some of the white and silver products, simply will not hold up to the heat.  It begins to break down after only 1-2 years.

This patch was done just 2 years ago and is already cracking.  Water had begun to leak back into the house.

This is one of the great products that seems to actually work, I had a report this morning from a friend that said that after applying this product and letting it dry a couple days, they could put their bare skin against it without getting burned in direct sunlight in 100+ degree weather!
  It is a great product for sealing roof leaks as well.

  The only thing you may want to be aware of is that won't match your roof, so take care to use it where it won't be seen by people passing by..

Happy Sealing!!
