Don't blame the eavestroughs because of roofing problems!

At the Eavestrough Company, we strive for excellence. We also love our customers and dealing with people. Recently, prior to completing a job in East Hamilton, we took pictures and pointed out to the home owner he had a significant roof issue. We highly recommended he contact a roofing company to repair this ASAP.

We took pictures and showed him that he had roof sheathing either missing or significantly rotted. Roof sheathing is the plywood decking the shingles are attached to. To compound his problem, we showed him the shingles sagged badly and were well behind the existing roof drip edge. Here are two  pictures of the roof.

A few days later, there was a heavy rain and we received a phone call that water was falling through the soffit area on this section of the house. I had a cordial conversation with the homeowner who informed me he had not contacted a roofing company to repair this and wanted us to deal with this problem. I explained The Eavestrough Company does not do roofs but we would be happy to contact a roofing company to come strip the shingles fix the sheathing and put a new roof on this area.

Our company does great work, but we are not magicians. If water comes through the roof prior to making it to the eavestroughs, there is not much we can do. It is imperative that the roof and the plywood roof decking be in good shape and installed properly.

We were delighted we could point out this roof problem to the customer and he has pictures which clearly show the roof problem that exists. This is part of our great customer service.
