About this service

Roofing tar is a thick, black adhesive used to seal joints, flashings, and small gaps to keep water out. It is often a temporary fix for minor leaks, but it can also be used as a component in built-up roofing systems. If you notice localized leaks around your chimney or vents, tar is often the first line of defense. It is not a permanent solution for large-scale damage. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Many homeowners prefer fall for roofing because the temperatures are moderate and the weather patterns are usually more stable than in spring. This makes it a great time to seal up your home before the winter snow or freezing rain arrives. It allows us to work at a steady pace, ensuring every shingle is placed perfectly before the climate turns harsh.
