Your roof is one of the most important elements to maintain in a home, yet most people tend to ignore roof repairs since it’s out of sight and out of mind.
Until there’s water leaking into their home.
Roof disrepair and leaks can cause major inconvenience, interior damage and discomfort for homeowners.
To avoid this, preventative roof maintenance and early roof repair is the key to extending the life of a roof.
The sooner a leak is located or a missing shingle is replaced, the less expensive repair costs are.
Roof repair and good maintenance go hand-in-hand and a homeowner can often put off the major expense of a total re-roof with small-spot repairs as necessary.
Unfortunately, even excellent maintenance work can’t always prevent emergency roof damage, especially if it occurs because of severe weather or impacts from falling trees.
Sometimes there might not even by any visible signs that your roof structure has been damaged; yet you somehow develop a leak in your home.
Unless you are an expert at roofing, it can be nearly impossible for a homeowner to diagnose the problem.
This is when you need to contact a certified, licensed roofing professional who will repair your leaking roof without breaking your budget.
With safety front-of-mind, Archer Roofing does not use outdated and dangerous “Torch-on” roofing products on flat roofs and none of our roofing materials are applied "hot".
We use the latest self-adhered technology and materials with critical areas being sealed with automatic, electric air-welders and robots.
Some of the reasons we refuse to use Torch-On Roofing include:
- Torch-On Roofing Poses Significant Fire Risks
- Torch-On Roofing Warranties Are Restrictive
- Torch-On Roofing Is A Poor Financial Investment
- Torch-On Roofing Is Environmentally Harmful
- Torch-On Roofing Poses Potential Health Risks

Kelowna Eavestrough Cleaning & Repair Services
Why is eavestrough cleaning and gutter maintenance important?
The most common roofing problem is inadequate roof maintenance, which includes eavestrough cleaning at least once a year (depending on how many trees are surrounding your home).
Neglecting this important task leads to dirt, leaves, weeds, debris, mould and decaying organic matter collecting in the gutter systems.
This added weight damages the downspout system and ends up clogging the gutters and drains, as well as contributing to roof damage.
Regular eavestrough cleaning also ensures the gutters are properly maintained and will prevent water from dripping down the side of your home, causing foundation damage and potential basement leaks.
It also prevents water from pooling, which then leads to lingering roof leaks and costly repairs or re-roofs.
Our crew ensures that your eavestroughs are free of debris and leaves.
Effective water flow is checked to ensure that there are no clogs in the downspouts.
All obstructions are removed from the downspouts and any organic material is disposed of maintaining an orderly and clean work environment.
If required, Archer Roofing can prevent clogging by installing leaf guards which will keep debris and leaves from entering the eavestroughs.
Customer satisfaction is our top priority and we are dedicated to earning it.
Contact us today for all of your roofing maintenance needs!
Problems With Eavestroughs Include:
- Unsightly black streaks from dripping gutter systems that become permanent over time.
- Ice damming in the winter when thawing snow melts and can’t drain properly due to clogged eaves. The trapped ice causes costly damage to the roof.
Kelowna Skylight Installation, Replacement & Repair
How Do I know If I Need Skylight Repair? What Are The Signs?
That’s typically our number-one question and, in most cases, the first signs that you are in need of some skylight repair are not always obvious.
If you are experiencing roof leaks, they could be the result of any number of issues.
Generally speaking, the first sign that your roof is leaking is when you notice that puddle in the middle of your bedroom (and hopefully not on your bed while you were sleeping).
The sad truth, however, is that your problem began long before you saw it.
Now you need to find its source – quickly – and have it fixed.
Is your skylight the problem?
Most people don’t realize that a damaged skylight can impact the integrity of your entire roofing system and lead to costly roofing repairs.
Weather, tampering and faulty installations are all reasons why your skylights can begin to fail and it’s important for home-owners to know what to look for.
Skylights begin to leak for many reasons, one of which being that the seal on the glass around the skylight weakens over time.
This is mainly due to Kelowna’s extreme seasonal weather changes – hot summers and cooler winters – and will eventually lead to cracks in the seals around the glass panes.
The constant expanding and shrinking (summers and winters) eventually create gaps where water can work its way into a home.
At that point, it’s just a matter of time before the real damages begin to set-in and your search for “skylight repair companies” will begin.
The older, dome style skylights are especially prone to this cracking and these types of skylights need periodic inspections by roofing professionals to determine their efficacy.
A skylight can be repaired and have its life extended through caulking and silicone fillers that protect it from the extreme temperature changes in our climate.
Were your skylights installed properly?
Another common issue with skylights leaking is that they were not installed correctly in the first place.
It’s an unfortunate reality in the world of home repairs that a lot of contractors will take-on jobs that they really aren’t trained to perform.
There is a lot of work involved with installing skylights, as they are enclosed in step flashing and shingles that must be custom fitted to the actual skylight.
The custom bending of step flashing metal takes a lot of time for installers who must ensure that there are no gaps between the sidewalls of the skylight and the shingles.
Needless to say, some installers take shortcuts and the results are costly leaks that affect the entire home.
Worried that your skylight is old and leaking?
Here are a few signs to determine if you need a roof inspection:
- Condensation visible on the skylight dome, or between glass panels
- Leaks during rain
- Drywall damage around the skylight
- Stains or streaks near the skylight
- Draft felt near the skylight
- Cracks on the skylight glass
- Missing flashing around the skylight
Skylights serve an important function on your roof by brightening a home’s interior, yet they frequently get overlooked when it comes to a home’s maintenance.
If you are having problems with roof leaks, having a roofing professional come to your home to examine your skylights (and inspect your roof) can help you find the source of the problem.
We’re happy to repair your skylight if it can last – even a few more years – and we’re not worried about how much money we can make off of you during each visit.
We just want a satisfied customer who will recommend us to their friends and neighbours, which is what has kept us in business since 1989!
Most of our business is through referrals and we’d like to keep it that way.
Archer Roofing Is Your Best Skylight Solution. Period.
Repairing skylights and roofs can be a complicated task that requires the right experience and knowledge to do the job properly.
Through our extensive experience working on many different roofs in Kelowna, there is no roof or leak we have come across yet that we haven’t been able to fix!
When Archer Roofing repairs or replaces a skylight, we ensure that the surrounding roof membrane, step-flashing and any shingles are replaced and expertly blended into the rest of the roof to safeguard the new skylight from any potential leaks.
If at all possible, we will try to clean and repair the existing skylight, or offer our clients a suitable replacement if repair is not feasible.
Either way, we can discuss different skylight options for your home and come up with the best and most cost-effective solution to suit your budget.
To ensure you are safe from extreme weather conditions, your home needs top quality roofing materials and workmanship to stand the test of time.
Trust Archer Roofing to use only premium products and installation techniques when you hire us to replace or repair your skylights.
Our Skylight Repair Process:
- Remove the existing skylight, surrounding flashings, shingles, and underlayment.
- Install a new curb seat as required and seal it down to the existing curb box.
- Install a high grade ice and water membrane on the entire existing curb and surrounding roof areas.
- Install new / existing aluminum flashings all around the existing curb and finish steep flashings at the base of the curb. At the same time overlap the new steep flashings with the new shingles.
- Finish the interior of the curb seat with a new wood trim finish (we generally finish the trim white to match the tunnel walls).
- Seal down the new skylight on the finished curb seat and clean up all garbage and debris.
- Replacement time is about a half day to full day depending on the extent of the curb / roof pitch.
