Defining The Problem

In the summer of 2023, the Kutkowskis faced a persistent roofing issue: leaks around their bathroom fan, which had defied resolution by two previous contractors. Upon inspection, it became apparent that the problem extended beyond mere leaks, with additional issues including hail damage, poor ventilation, and compromised components such as the chimney, gutters, and wood fascia.

Our Proposed Solutions

To address the Kutkowskis’ extensive roofing challenges, we devised a multifaceted plan:

Comprehensive Inspection and Damage Assessment

Conducting a thorough inspection of the attic, gutters, apron, and roof to identify underlying issues.

Immediate Leak Repair

Undertaking prompt repairs to secure the roof against leaks, despite setbacks with an insurance claim denial.

Ventilation Improvement and Structural Repairs

– Installing new, larger vented soffits to enhance airflow and address poor ventilation.

– Replacing the undersized box vent with a more efficient ridge vent to improve overall ventilation.

– Addressing issues with the chimney, gutters, and rotted wood fascia through comprehensive repairs and replacements.

What Could Happen if This Problem is Not Addressed

Failure to address the roofing issues could lead to severe consequences:

Continued water damage and leaks, posing risks of structural deterioration and mold growth.

Inadequate ventilation leading to energy inefficiency, comfort issues, and potential roof damage.

Further deterioration of the chimney, gutters, and wood fascia, compromising the integrity and aesthetics of the home.

How Holda Solved the Problems

Despite challenges, we navigated the Kutkowskis’ roofing journey with expertise and determination:

Prompt leak repairs in late fall successfully mitigated immediate water ingress issues.

Comprehensive roof replacement, gutter installation, installation of vented soffit, addition of a ridge vent, chimney replacement, and structural repairs addressed underlying issues, providing long-term solutions.

Installation of premium materials, including Grace Select Ice & Water Barrier, GAF Tiger Paw underlayment, GAF Timberline shingles, and oversized gutters ensured durability, efficiency, and moisture control.
