Wind Damage & Flashing Repair on Green Mountain

A spring windstorm coming down Green Mountain left this Lakewood two-story with a bedroom ceiling stain and a scatter of shingle pieces in the yard. Two companies had already quoted a full replacement from the driveway. Our inspection told a different story: the field shingles had years of life left, but the wind had creased a band of tabs along the west rake — and the real leak was step flashing at the chimney that had been sealed over instead of replaced during some earlier repair.

The fix took one crew, one day. We replaced the creased shingles with color-matched architecturals, rebuilt the chimney’s step and counter flashing properly (metal woven into the shingle courses, not caulk smeared over the joint), and resealed two aging pipe boots while we were up there — the kind of five-dollar prevention that saves a service call in three years.

The repair carried our written workmanship warranty, and the homeowners kept a roof that didn’t need replacing. When it eventually does, they know exactly who they’ll call — which is the entire business model behind quoting repairs honestly.
