Featured Project: Shingle Roofing, Chimney Leak & Siding Repairs, Newark DE
Today we’d like to show off one of our roofing repair projects we did last fall in the town of Newark, Delaware. Chimney flashings have completely deteriorated and multiple leaks developed prompting the homeowner to seek a local roofing contractor to handle repairs. This was a full service repair job that involved roofing & siding restoration.

All Roofing Solutions has been helping Delaware homeowners transform their homes from old to new for nearly 20 years!

Shingle Roofing, Chimney Leak & Siding Repairs Project in Newark, DE 19713

Since the roof was basically sound with only few weak spots, we decided to make permanent repairs instead of replacing the entire roofing system. The project involved:
- Full roofing inspection, including checking for damage in the roofing material directly above where the leaks were coming in and inspecting the flashing that protects joints between roofing and chimneys/walls.
- Replacement of damaged shingles.
- Removal and replacement of the damaged or deteriorated caulking around a chimney and installation of new metal flashing to replace old materials that have rusted through and/or came loose.
- Inspection and repairs to siding damaged by heavy winds/low-hanging trees.

Roofing Repairs: How to Replace Damaged Roof Shingles
With constant exposure to the elements, roof shingles have to bear a heavy burden over their lifetime. Eventually, it’s inevitable that they will wear down.

If you have damaged roof shingles, it’s essential that you repair the problem promptly. Otherwise, you could end up with a leaky roof and, potentially, serious structural damage to your home’s roof, attic and frame.

The good news is that repairing asphalt shingle roof is usually not difficult. With a few basic tools and some replacement shingles, you can fix minor roof damage in just a couple of hours. The important thing is to know how, so you can avoid common repair mistakes made by homeowners.

How to Replace Damaged Roof Shingles in 5 Easy Steps
1. Prepare the area in need of repairs. The first thing you need to do is locate each of the damaged shingles. Then, loosen the adhesive grip of the shingles located two rows above the shingles you’re going to replace. Lift the corners of the loosened shingles to a 60-degree angle and use a crowbar to draw out the exposed nails.
2. Move towards the damaged shingles. Repeat the previous step on the first row of shingles above the area you’re repairing.
3. Remove the damaged shingles. Use the same process to loosen the shingles you’re actually going to replace, but instead of just loosening the adhesive, lifting the tabs and removing the nails, take the damaged shingle out of its position.
4. Place your replacement shingles. Put a new shingle in place of the damaged shingles you’ve removed and nail it into place. Once it’s secure, nail the two upper rows of loosened shingles back into place, as well.
5. Leave it like you found it. Your final step will be to reapply adhesive to the tabs of the loosened rows of shingles and paste them back to the roof. Once the adhesive sets, your roof will be good as new!

Residential Roofing Installation: How to Choose Asphalt Shingles
When it comes to new roof installations, it’s always a good idea to invest in quality materials that ensure your roof withstands the elements and performs well year after year.

Given that asphalt roofs are among the most common and affordable options on the market, it’s good to know how to identify a top-quality asphalt shingle for your new roof. Price isn’t necessarily the most important indicator of quality, either.

Selecting Roof Shingles

To get the most for your money, make sure that you consider life span, durability, weather resistance and quality when you select your new roof shingles.
- Color: There are thousands of options on the market so start by checking your homeowner’s association regulations. Look for roof shingles that complement your siding or brick. Remember, light roofing colors typically make a structure seem larger and more contemporary, while darker colors can make a building feel cozier and more traditional.
- Style: Shingles come in a variety of styles, depending on your budget and taste. Large format shingles cover more area in less time, but they don’t add dimension to your home’s roof. Laminated or “architectural” shingles offer a more in-depth, custom look. Strip roof shingles can also provide texture, since they can be layered to add depth to your roof’s surface.
- Quality and durability: Life span, sturdiness and weather resistance are all important considerations when you’re replacing a shingle roof. Choose roofing shingles with a lengthy, comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty since high-quality shingles come with warranties of up to 25 years or more.
Residential Roofing Installation: How to Choose Asphalt Shingles

The two most important things to look for in a quality asphalt shingle are its performance characteristics and its warranty.

Choosing Asphalt Shingle – Performance Characteristics

Performance characteristics include metrics like weight, wind resistance, and the level of ventilation the shingle allows. Generally speaking, heavier shingles are more durable, and will also tend to cost more.

Shingles with higher levels of wind resistance withstand the elements better. While you may look at a given shingle and wonder whether you really need one with 110 mile-per-hour wind resistance, remember that the hardier overall construction means it will outperform other shingles in normal weather conditions as well.

With residential roofing, you need to be aware of local building codes when choosing asphalt shingles, as some municipalities have ordinances that require homeowners installing shingle roofs to meet specific ventilation criteria. If you’re unsure about local regulations, call your municipal housing authority.

Choosing Asphalt Shingles – Warranty Details

When it comes to the shingle’s warranty, longer is definitely better. Asphalt shingles with shorter warranties are quite simply not expected to hold up for as long as better-built shingles with longer coverage duration, so while they tend to be cheaper, you may also have to replace them sooner.

As a consumer, you should also know the difference between manufacturer’s & contractor’s warranty. A manufacturer’s warranty covers the materials used to build your roof, while the contractor’s warranty covers the installation and workmanship.

Looking for asphalt shingle installation contractor?

Of course, the very best shingles on the market won’t help you much if you don’t choose the right roofing contractor to install them so finding quality contractor is key.

At All Roofing Solutions, we serve residential and commercial customers throughout Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania, and we’ve earned an excellent reputation for quality and customer satisfaction.

7 Steps to Locating and Patching Minor Roof Leaks
Many homeowners look to save money by making minor roof repairs on their own. If you’re up for the challenge, your first step will be to learn how to pinpoint and fix small leaks.

While the location of the incoming water will often betray the leaky spot, identifying the source of the problem isn’t always as straightforward as it might seem. Your repair strategy will also be influenced by the location, size and orientation of the leak, but the good news is that both issues can be addressed with some simple investigation and action.

7 Steps to Locating and Patching Minor Roof Leaks

Follow these seven simple steps to locate and fix minor leaks in your roof:
- Check for any penetrations in the roof; these are, by a wide margin, the most common source of roof leaks. They are normally found within a few feet of the interior ceiling location where the leak appears to be centered.
- Remove shingles in the area where you suspect the leak is located, and look for telltale signs like water stains and rotting structural underlayments.
- If you still can’t find the leak, enlist the help of an assistant. Have one person stay inside at the apparent source of the leak and have the other go up on the roof with a water supply. Work systematically by wetting localized areas of the roof with the water supply until the person inside sees water start to dribble from the ceiling. By notifying the person on the roof when the interior leak appeared, it will be easy to localize the leak to a specific area.
- Clear shingles from the affected area of the roof, leaving a few feet of open space on all sides of the leak.
- Assess the condition of the shingles, as well as the condition of underlying elements of the roof. Identify elements that need to be repaired or replaced; some leaks are caused by relatively simple problems like curled or damaged shingles, while others result from damage to the roof’s underlying structural features.
- Seal off any penetrations that are allowing water to enter your home through a hole or other breach in the integrity of the underlying roof structure.
- Replace all damaged, missing and removed shingles with new ones, taking care to ensure they are fully adhered to the roof surface with nails as well as roofing cement.
In the event that you uncover a major problem, it’s best to enlist the help of a licensed roofing professional to assess the damage. More elaborate and intensive repairs can be difficult and onerous, and in many cases, even experienced DIY-ers are better off investing in the safety and skill of a qualified roofing repair contractor.

Hire Professional Roofer To Help!

Don’t put off repairing a leak, as this can lead to additional structural problems, mold growth and high levels of moisture and humidity, all of which can be difficult and expensive to repair.
