Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Lunenburg, MA. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Lunenburg homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
Roofing Brothers has been doing roof leak repair since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Lunenburg homeowners through our network of local crews. The standard has not moved: measure it right, fasten it right, and never cut a corner where water can find it.
Before any roof leak repair starts in Lunenburg you will know the price, the material and the schedule. Estimates are always free, and nobody is going to push you to decide while somebody is still standing in your driveway.
How a job actually runs, from the first phone call to the last magnet pass over the driveway.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
Questions homeowners ask us about this kind of work.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Lunenburg ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Lunenburg home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Lunenburg homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We can usually get a Lunenburg roof covered and stop the water in the middle of weather, but the permanent repair waits for a dry stretch. Sealing something wet just means doing it twice.
What people said once the job was finished and the trucks were gone.
"They roofed our addition and tied in the porch that runs off it. One crew, one number to call, and every line of it matched up."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"Ice was backing up at our eaves every winter. They cleared it, then went back and fixed the ventilation, and we have not had the problem since."
