Straight answers and careful work on roof leak repair in Galway, NY. Metal roofing is our specialty, but we do the whole roof.
If your Galway roof has been caulked twice and still leaks, the caulk was never the answer. Most of the stubborn ones come down to flashing at a chimney or wall, a valley that was never lapped right, or fasteners that have backed out.
Roofing Brothers has been doing roof leak repair since 2002, first around Morganton, North Carolina and now for Galway 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 Galway 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.
Knowing when it leaks — every rain, only in a driving wind, only after snow — narrows it down quickly.
On the roof we check the usual culprits first: chimney and wall flashing, valleys, penetrations, and any lap that was never sealed properly.
Materials get matched as close as we can so the repair blends into the roof around it.
Then we clean up and give you an honest word on how much life the roof has left.
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 Galway ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Galway homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We can usually get a Galway 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.
Yes, and it is included. A Galway roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
