Roof Repair in Buffalo & Western New York

Yes, temporary and many permanent repairs can be done in winter, but sealants and shingles bond poorly in cold, so some work may need a follow-up in warmer weather.

Common causes are failed flashing at chimneys and walls, ice dams at eaves, and wind-lifted shingles after storms.

Lake-effect snow piles deep snow on roofs, and heat escaping from attics melts it; the water refreezes at cold eaves. Air sealing, insulation and ventilation are the long-term fix.
