Lake Placid Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation
From quick fixes to major projects, Lake Placid Roofing & Maintenance has been the roofing contractor Lake Placid homeowners call for 17 years. Here's a rundown of what we offer.
Roof Replacement
GAF Timberline HDZ with the full GAF Roof System qualifies your home for the Golden Pledge warranty. That's 25 years on workmanship and 50 years on materials, including algae protection. We install Cobra Snow Country ridge vent with external baffle, FeltBuster synthetic underlayment meeting ASTM D226 Type II equivalent, and Starter Match Pro starter strip. Every component is GAF-approved and inspection-documented.

Roof Repair
Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Lake Placid homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Storm Damage Repair
Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our Lake Placid inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof repairs are usually sealant failures at transitions, loose panels from improper installation, or rust spots on older galvanized systems. Our Lake Placid crew repairs all metal types. Not every issue needs a full replacement. Sometimes a sealant touch-up or panel re-securing solves it.

Shingle Roofing
The difference between a cheap shingle roof and a quality one comes down to the system underneath. Shingles are only the outer layer. Ice and water shield in the valleys, synthetic underlayment across the deck, proper starter strip with factory adhesive, correct nailing pattern. That's what makes a shingle roof last in Florida's weather.

Flat Roofing
Flat roof leak detection in Lake Placid: we start with a visual inspection of seams, flashings, and penetrations. If the leak source isn't obvious, we use electronic leak detection (ELD) or flood testing on membrane roofs. We find it and fix it. No guessing, no unnecessary tear-offs.

Gutter Installation
We install gutter guards for homeowners who are done cleaning gutters twice a year. Micro-mesh over the opening, screwed into the front lip. Leaves and pine needles sit on top and blow off. Not 100% maintenance-free, but close. You might hose them once a year.

Roof Inspection
Annual inspections catch small problems early. A cracked pipe boot is a $150 repair. A year of water leaking through that crack causes $3,000+ in ceiling, insulation, and drywall damage. We recommend an inspection every 2-3 years for newer roofs, annually for roofs over 15 years.

Skylight Installation
VELUX FS (fixed) and VS (vented) skylights installed with EDL flashing kits for shingle roofs. The multi-step flashing integrates with the surrounding shingle courses per IRC R903.2. We frame the curb with doubled 2x8 or 2x10 lumber (depending on rafter depth), install ice and water shield membrane around the entire curb perimeter, then set the skylight with factory sealant before weaving step flashing into the field. Top headwall flashing tucks under the upslope shingle course. Bottom sill pan diverts water onto the downslope shingles. Zero exposed sealant joints. Mechanical flashing only.
