Ice Damage Repair

What This Service Involves

Higher-elevation and foothill communities around Puget Sound see repeated freeze-thaw swings that pry at shingles and open seams every winter. Water seeps into tiny cracks, freezes, expands, and enlarges the damage until leaks appear during the next thaw. Our crews repair ice-split shingles, damaged flashing, and any decking softened by trapped moisture. We also look for the ventilation and insulation gaps that let ice dams form so the problem does not simply recur next cold snap.

Benefits

Repairs freeze-split shingles and opened seams; Addresses underlying ice dam causes, not just symptoms; Protects decking softened by trapped meltwater; Improves attic ventilation to limit refreezing; Reduces recurring winter leak damage

Our Process

1) Inspect eaves and valleys for ice-related damage; 2) Repair split shingles, seams, and flashing; 3) Replace any decking compromised by moisture; 4) Recommend ventilation or insulation fixes to prevent recurrence

What Affects the Cost

Severity of freeze-thaw damage; Extent of decking that has softened; Whether ice dam prevention work is added; Roof pitch and eave accessibility; Elevation and local freeze frequency

Best Time of Year

Damage becomes apparent during late-winter thaws, and early spring is the best time to repair before the next freeze cycle.
