Understanding Granule Loss in Roof Shingles?
The amount of damage in a roof can make you think if you should go
On Pelham Manor's Tudor Revival and Georgian Colonial homes, active roof leaks almost always trace to failing original or period-replacement flashing at the numerous dormer, gable, and chimney penetrations these rooflines contain. At 90-130 years of age, flashing that has been maintained piecemeal rather than comprehensively replaced has inconsistent condition across the same roofline — some joints still sound, others actively failing. Sound Shore humidity means any moisture that penetrates has elevated ambient moisture available to compound the damage faster than on a drier inland property.
Meridian Contracting traces every Pelham Manor roof leak to its actual source and repairs it there.
On Pelham Manor's architecturally significant pre-war homes, a roof repair is also a judgment about the condition of a roofline approaching or past 100 years. We trace the source, assess all active and near-failure points nearby, and give a transparent recommendation — whether that's a targeted flashing repair, a broader comprehensive flashing replacement, or an honest conversation about when full replacement makes more sense.
We trace leaks to their actual source — always the flashing at dormers, chimney penetrations, or gable intersections on Pelham Manor's pre-war homes — and repair at that point.

Roof inspection means having the roof checked regularly so that small problems can be detected
On a home with many flashing joints approaching 100 years of age, addressing them comprehensively at once is far more cost-effective than repeated single-joint repairs over multiple service calls.
