Shingle Roof Repair

properly installed pipe boot

Roof Repair Project Description

On this shingle roof in Virginia Beach, the original roofer had installed the shingles incorrectly around the combustion vents and plumbing stack vent. This caused a leak and the excessive and unnecessary application of caulking to stop the leak. We removed the existing shingles, the pipe boot for the plumbing stack pipe, reapplied the felt paper, and installed the shingles correctly. By taking the time and effort to fix the problem right, we eliminated the need for periodic repairs when the caulking failed and it started to leak again.
