Your roof does a lot of work; it keeps your home and your family protected from the elements, and it helps your home look its best. Because of the importance of your roof, you should only trust it to true experts, like those of us at Tom Byer Roofing Service. With more than half a century in business, we have the knowledge and experience needed to ensure a job well done.

We Repair Most Type of Roofing

No matter what type of roofing you have, we can install it, repair it, or replace it. From asphalt composition shingles to shake slate mission clay, our team will get the job done. Below are just some of the types of shingles we can work with:

Asphalt Composition Shingles

Out of the various types of shingles on the market, asphalt composition shingles are the most commonly used. As long as the condition of your shingle warrants a repair, our technicians can expertly help solve a leak problem or repair a wind damage issue.  We can also inspect pipes and vents to see if any caulking is needed or replace damaged/missing heater caps.

Wood Shakes

As long as the condition of your wood roof warrants it, our crews can replace missing or damaged shakes and felt as needed.  We can also provide maintenance to the pipes and vents while repairing the wood shake.

Concrete Tile Roofing

Our technicians expertly repair concrete and clay tile roofs. Most tile repairs will include underlayment replacement as needed. Tile roof repairs can be difficult as water will travel some distance under the tile. A simple looking repair can be more involved than it seems.

Roof & Carpentry Repairs

If you want to make your roof last as long as possible, it is vital that you never put off a roof repair. Small issues with roofing become big issues in a hurry. No matter how major or minor the repair you need is, we are here to help. Some common problems we help repair include the following:

• Clogged Gutters: You might not think of these as a roofing problem, but clogged gutters can cause damage to your roofing due to stagnant water and even the strain from the weight of the clogged gutters.
• Deteriorating Shingles: Your home’s shingles are essentially its first line of defense against the forces of nature. Any problem with the shingles can lead to problems with the rest of the roof, including the carpentry.
• Wood Rot: Any rot within the wooden structures of your roof is major cause for concern. Rot can compromise the integrity of wooden structures, risking the collapse of your roof. Additionally, rot in the roof can spread into the rest of your home if left untreated.
• Mold and Mildew: These two spread fast, and unless you catch them early, they can require the replacement of the entire roof frame. As soon as you notice mold or mildew, give us a call.

Occasionally, problems will be too significant to address long term with repair alone, which means we need to make a decision between recommending a temporary fix, re-roofing, or roof replacement.

Assessing Damage After a Storm

After a strong storm, you need to make certain that your roof has not sustained any damage. You can do this on your own or with our help. Some of the things to check after the storm has passed include:

• The Attic: This will be the first place inside your home where you can see signs of damage. Look for any water or dampness that would indicate that your roof is no longer offering maximum protection.
• Check the Area: Are there any shingles or pieces of shingles in the yard that may have blown off of your home? It can be difficult to determine where they came from if most homes in the area have the same shingles, but you should err on the side of caution.
• Look at the Gutters, Vents, and Flashing: These parts may not be as significant as damage to the shingles or leaks getting into the house, but in the long term, they will matter a lot.

If you find any problems, call us so we can perform an inspection and determine what service you require.

Deciding Between Repair, Re-Roofing & Replacement

When possible, we will choose to extend the life of your roof rather than replace it, either through repairs or re-roofing, which refers to the replacement of shingles. However, sometimes replacement is necessary to protect the integrity of your home and ensure the safety of your family. During our inspection, we will determine how significant the problems are and then either recommend repair, re-roofing, or replacement. We will base our decision which option will offer you the best protection and be the most cost-effective for you over time.
