Emergency Roof Repairs

Emergency Roof Repairs are required for homes whose roofing systems have been damaged during storms and where there is an active leak, because if left unchecked, the damage could escalate into catastrophic failure of parts of the house. At Bastos Construction, we specialize in Emergency Roof Repair services throughout Greater Boston. Our experienced staff will answer your call promptly, travel to your location and take immediate action to stop the leak on your home. Since a roof emergency does not follow the conventional time schedule of other emergencies, we respond urgently to provide immediate service. Prompt action to repair the leak will protect your ceiling, walls and personal property from water damage caused by prolonged exposure to rainwater. As well as providing peace-of-mind to you and your family, emergency roof repairs at Bastos Construction will get your home back to a safe and dry living space, thereby preventing additional damage to your home.

Routine Roof Maintenance

While routine roof maintenance may appear to be unnecessary, it is very important to maintain your roof to ensure that your roof will last as long as possible and minimize the need for costly emergency roof repairs. Routine annual roof inspections enable us to find and correct minor roof problems before they develop into major costly roof failures. When performing a routine roof inspection, we check your roof for loose or damaged shingles, for damage to the flashing around chimneys and skylights, for blockage in your gutters and downspouts (that may result in improper drainage), and search for any evidence of premature aging of your roof. In addition to helping to prevent costly interior damage that results from a roof failure, preventive maintenance helps to reduce costs associated with emergency roof repairs. By finding problems early, we can save you money and ensure that your roof will continue to protect your home properly. To get the most out of your roof and its expected lifetime, we recommend that you perform regular maintenance on your roof.

Roof Replacement

Once a roof has reached the end of its serviceable life, a full roof replacement is usually necessary. The full roof replacement process will be handled by the professionals at Bastos Construction from beginning to end. First, we will perform a full inspection to determine which areas of the existing roof have been damaged or are nearing the end of their serviceable life. Our knowledgeable staff will assist you in selecting high quality materials from leading manufacturers that offer years of serviceability and durability. Once the materials have been selected, our experienced crew will install your new roof according to the manufacturer’s instructions and all local building codes to ensure that the job was done correctly. After completion of your new roof, we will completely clean up the job site and remove all of the construction debris. Each roof replacement performed by Bastos Construction includes a comprehensive warranty that covers the cost of both the materials and labor for many years.

Roof Repairs

Not all roofing problems require a full roof replacement. A number of roofing problems can be corrected using targeted repairs to your roof that will greatly improve the integrity and extend the life of your roof. We repair common roofing problems such as: roof leaks resulting from storm damage; missing or damaged shingles due to wind, falling branches, etc.; deteriorating flashing around chimneys and skylights; and roof damage resulting from tree debris. Like our Water Damage Restoration Services, prompt action to repair roofing problems can prevent extensive damage to your interior walls and belongings. Our repair services focus on correcting the underlying reason(s) for the problem instead of just addressing the symptoms. Regardless of whether you need a small patch or extensive repairs to your roof, our experienced staff will restore your roof to its original functioning condition economically.

Roof Inspection

Annual roof inspections will help identify potential problems before they turn into costly emergencies. At Bastos Construction, our comprehensive roof inspections review all of the critical components of your roofing system. Shingle deterioration is identified by checking for granule loss, curling or cracking of the shingles. Flashing deterioration is identified by examining the flashing for rust, separation or damage. Gutters and downspouts are checked for blockages or sagging sections. An attic inspection is also conducted to check for water damage, poor ventilation, excessive moisture build-up and/or insulation deficiencies. Interior signs of these conditions often indicate external problems that require attention. Regular inspections combined with preventative maintenance will extend the life of your roof, lower the possibility of costly repairs and help to protect your investment in your home.
