If your roof is leaking, don’t automatically assume it needs to be replaced.

A leak can come from a small failure, bad flashing, a vent, a wall detail, or something much bigger. The important part is figuring out what actually failed before deciding on the fix.

Sometimes a repair makes perfect sense.

Sometimes a repair is just throwing good money at bad and replacement is the smarter move.

But if someone tells you, “It leaks, so it needs replaced,” they should be able to explain why.

What failed?

How widespread is the problem?

What condition is the rest of the roof in?

Why doesn’t a repair make sense?

A roof replacement is a big expense. You should understand why it’s being recommended before agreeing to it.

The right solution starts with properly diagnosing the roof, not deciding what to sell before the inspection is finished — or, in some cases, before they’ve even attended your property.

Ever wonder what the guy who skipped proper roof flashing 15-ish years ago is doing right now?

This roof had been leaking since install, but the homeowner only just noticed the water now. That’s the scary part with roof leaks — by the time you see it inside, it may have already been soaking insulation, drywall, framing, or causing mold issues for a long time.

Once we opened it up, the problem was pretty obvious: missing step flashing along the wall. Basically, water had a nice little path straight in.

To make it better, this was old roof boards with no underlayment underneath. So once water got past the shingles, there wasn’t much stopping it from finding its way through the gaps.

We pulled the failed area apart, added ice and water protection, installed proper step flashing, and shingled it back in the way it should’ve been done the first time.

Crazy what some people will sell as a roof.

Saving money on the roof can get expensive real quick when you end up paying the drywall guy, the painter, and the carpenter later.

Do Those Black Streaks Mean You Need a New Roof?
Not necessarily.
Black streaks are often caused by algae growth and don't automatically mean your roof has reached the end of its life.
Some roofs need replacement. Some need repairs. Others may simply benefit from a professional roof cleaning.
If you're unsure which category your roof falls into, we're happy to point you in the right direction.

Give either number a call and get the solutions you need not just another roof.

🚨 Attic Ventilation Is More Than Just Adding Vents 🚨

We've inspected attics that appeared to have proper ventilation at first glance—complete with baffles installed between the rafters. But a closer look revealed the baffles led nowhere because the soffits were blocked, covered over, or never opened up in the first place.

We've also seen homeowners sold on the idea that adding a 4 Seasons vent will solve all their ventilation problems. While these vents have their place, they aren't magic.

You can't exhaust air without replacing it. If your attic doesn't have adequate intake ventilation, that vent will look for air wherever it can find it. It doesn't care whether that air comes from a properly vented soffit or from leaks around your attic hatch, light fixtures, and other openings from your living space.

Proper ventilation is about balance—not just adding more exhaust.

That's why Melnyk Roofing performs attic inspections that go beyond the surface to help ensure your new roof lasts.
