Initially, our plan for this residence involved replacing the cricket behind the chimney and addressing some rotten wood. However, upon further inspection, it became clear that a total chimney rebuild was necessary. The roof flashings surrounding the chimney were not installed correctly, causing leaks that resulted in the complete rotting of the counter-levered supports. In addition to the chimney rebuild, we will also be installing new siding and painting to ensure a seamless finish without requiring the homeowner to wait for another contractor. This situation highlights the potential consequences of a single incorrectly installed flashing on a roof.
At KL Metals, we adopt a comprehensive approach to addressing problems. During re-roofing installations, we regularly replace rotten wood and maintain transparent communication with homeowners through photographic updates throughout the project. When selecting a roofing company, it is essential to pose questions to the representative. If they are unable to provide a professional, detailed response regarding the necessary steps and instead defer to the roofers, it may indicate a lack of experience. This inexperience can lead to unresolved problems during the installation process, ultimately compromising the quality of the roof installation. At KL Metals, our crews undergo rigorous training to ensure consistently high-quality installations. How can we assist you in safeguarding your home against the elements?
