GG Roofers Roofing Services

Even though we have expanded the services we offer, roof repair remains our bread and butter and primary business activity. It is what got us into this line of work, to begin with.

At GG Roofers, we understand that the roof is one of the most important elements of any building. This holds particularly true when dealing with people’s homes as the roof is what protects your family from the elements. That is why we know how crucial it is for any and all repair work to be quick, reasonably priced, and, above all else, up to the highest standard possible in terms of quality.

We can divide roof repairs into two main categories – smaller fixes and major repairs. Either way, GG Roofers are here to cater to all of your roofing needs.

Smaller Repairs

This category covers a wide range of potential issues which could arise with your roof. What they have in common is that they only affect a certain section or sections, not the roof in its entirety – therefore the repairs are localized and less extensive.

For example, roof valley leaks are a very common sight. A valley is the meeting point between two roof slopes and is therefore especially susceptible to leakage. That is because it traps water, leaves, and all other debris. Depending on whether you have open or closed valleys, the solutions will differ.

Another common location for leaks is the chimney. Because the area around the chimney frequently expands and contracts due to the heat, the flashing needs to be in top shape in order to ensure everything stays waterproof.

There are many other problems that we can help you address. Among others, we handle the installation and replacement of different kinds of vents and individual shingles, wind damage repair, as well as numerous issues that can come with flat roofs.

Major Repairs

Sometimes, the damage to your roof is so extensive that a small fix simply will not do. In those cases, you have two options: an overlay or a tear-off.

Overlay (also known as reroofing) is the process of adding a new layer of shingles on top of your existing roof. Therefore, it is significantly quicker and more affordable than getting a completely new roof. However, it is not without downsides.

For one, the general rule is that you can only do a single overlay. So, if your roof already has two layers of shingles, this method will not be available to you. Secondly, it adds a lot of weight so it could jeopardize the structural integrity of your home. Additionally, the added layer traps extra heat, which negatively impacts the longevity of the shingles.

The other option is a tear-off. As the name implies, we completely remove your old roof and replace it with a new one. Compared to reroofing, it costs more and takes longer to complete. But it does come with many benefits.

Because everything has to come off first, this makes it easy to inspect the roof deck and find hidden defects. Plus, your roof will be brand new and will last for a long time. Finally, it will also make it much easier to sell your home down the line, if that is a consideration.

No matter how big or small your roof problem is, GG Roofers have you covered. Simply contact us and we can identify the issue together and work out the best solution possible.
