Roof Repairs: Lakeway Residential Roofing

Slate roof replacement. Roofing slates are typically installed over horizontal strapping. When a slate roof is replaced, Lakeway workers will inspect the roof structure, strapping and moisture barrier, making repairs as necessary. Synthetic slate roofing, made from recycled rubber products, is sometimes installed as an alternative to genuine slate roofing.

Replacing roof flashing. Roof flashing plays a critical role in protecting a Lakeway building from moisture damage. For this reason, roof flashing should be inspected several times a year to make sure it's in good condition. Some flashing is made from aluminum or copper, while other flashing is made from rubber or plastic sheet material. When new roofing is installed, some types of roof flashing can remain in place, while other types of roof flashing must be replaced. For example, old step flashing is usually replaced, while the counter flashing used on chimneys is typically reused. Valley flashing is usually replaced.

Replacing a Lakeway asphalt shingle roof. It's usually possible to install a new asphalt shingle roof over an existing asphalt shingle roof, providing that the roof structure is sound. But if there are already two layers of roofing in place, the entire roof will have to be stripped down to the roof sheathing. As with any Lakeway roof replacement, the flashing will also need to be either replaced or renewed.

Flat roof replacement. Because a Lakeway flat roof can allow water (in the form of rain, snow and ice) to collect rather than to drain, leaks and moisture damage are more common with this roof type. So, any flat roof replacement should include a careful inspection of the roof structure for signs of moisture damage. The good news about replacing a flat roof is that it's also an excellent opportunity to increase the building's energy efficiency by installing new rigid foam insulation board beneath the new roofing material.

Replacing a wood shingle Lakeway roof. A wood shingle roof never wears out evenly, since some areas of the roof receive more exposure to the weathering effects of sunlight and moisture than others. When spot repairs become necessary on an ongoing basis, many Lakeway homeowners elect to have the entire roof replaced. Today many roofing contractors recommend installing a "rain screen" material beneath a wood shingle roof, instead of nailing the shingles directly against the roof sheathing. The resilient rain screen material creates an airspace beneath the roof shingles that promotes drainage and drying.
