Clean and functional gutters prevent water pooling, flooding, soil erosion, and water damage to your home. It is also a good time to replace gutters anytime you notice, rust, leaks, cracks, or water damage.

Flashing is critical for protecting your roof and home from damage and leakage. It redirects water and shields chimneys, skylights, walls, valleys, and gutters. Flashing serves as a binding and barrier to prevent water from seeping into vulnerable areas.
Some leaks are caused by damaged or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations.
Roof leaks can cause severe damage to your home and health. Ignoring them can lead to costly repairs. It is crucial to address them quickly to avoid compromising your ceilings, walls, floors, and belongings, and to prevent the accumulation of water that can cause mold and mildew, posing a hazard to your well-being.
Common reasons your roof may leak are:
damaged shingles,
damaged or loose flashing,
