Satellite Dish Removal

What This Service Involves

Abandoned satellite dishes are one of the most common hidden leak sources we find on Puget Sound roofs. The mounting lag bolts sit open under a dish nobody uses, and years of rain slowly rot the deck below. We remove the dish and mast, then patch and flash the old penetrations so the spot is fully weathertight again. It is a small job that prevents an expensive decking repair down the road.

Benefits

Eliminates a commonly overlooked leak point; Properly flashes and seals abandoned bolt holes; Removes wind-catching hardware before the next storm; Restores a clean roof appearance for resale; Quick service that protects the deck below

Our Process

1) Disconnect and detach the dish and its mounting mast; 2) Remove all lag bolts and brackets from the deck; 3) Patch penetrations with new flashing and matching shingles; 4) Inspect the surrounding area for any moisture damage

What Affects the Cost

Dish size and how it was originally anchored; Number of penetrations left to seal; Any decking rot found under the old mount; Roof height and access difficulty; Matching replacement shingle availability

Best Time of Year

Any dry-weather window works, though pairing removal with a summer roof inspection catches related damage early.
