Roofing Gallery in Hampton

Two companies looked at our ceiling stain from the driveway and quoted a full replacement. These guys spent forty minutes with a hose aimed sideways and one man in the attic, found a reused piece of step flashing on the chimney wall, and fixed it for a few hundred dollars. Roof is nine years old and fine.

They were the only bid that showed re-sheathing as a separate line instead of springing it on us at tear-off. Plank decking under a 1958 roof, exactly as they said. Six nails, new drip edge on the rakes, and they registered the warranty in my name and handed me the paperwork before they left.

Our chimney had been resealed twice by other people and leaked both times. They cut the counterflashing into the mortar joint properly and built a cricket on the high side. Two winters of nor'easters since and the ceiling has stayed dry. They also told us the crown needed a mason, not them.

I asked for a metal roof and expected the usual upsell. Instead they talked me out of the coated steel panel I had picked and into aluminum because of how close we are to the water, then explained exactly why. Clip spacing was to the high-wind table. It has been through two named storms without a mark.
