Slab Roof Crack Repair & Waterproofing

Concrete slab roofs are a hallmark of Jamaican construction, prized for their strength and thermal performance. Yet over time, the relentless sun and heavy tropical rains can lead to crazing, scaling, hairline cracks, and spalling, allowing water to penetrate the substrate. Our specialized concrete roof repair services in Jamaica address these issues head-on.

Our Process for Concrete Roof Repair:

Thorough Inspection: We utilize advanced moisture detection tools to pinpoint hidden leaks and assess the full extent of damage.
Crack Injection & Patching: Our crack injection and patching process employs high-strength, flexible polymer mortars to fill fissures and restore structural integrity, preventing further water penetration.
Premium Sika® Waterproofing Systems: Once cracks are sealed, we apply industry-leading Sika® waterproofing systems (We also have other recommended brands)—either liquid-applied membranes or robust sheet membranes—to create a seamless, resilient barrier against moisture. This is crucial for long-term flat roof waterproofing in Jamaica.
Optimized Drainage: We also optimize roof slope and drainage channels to prevent pooling, ensuring water runoff is efficiently directed away from the surface and into gutters.

Metal Roof Sheet Replacement & Repair

Metal roofing remains one of the most popular and resilient choices in Jamaica, whether it’s corrugated zinc-aluminum sheets or elegant stone-coated metal tiles. When rust, corrosion, punctures from falling debris, or loose fasteners compromise your metal roof, our expert team steps in to replace damaged panels and treat adjacent areas with anti-corrosion coatings.

Ensuring Durability for Your Metal Roof:

Panel Matching & Replacement: We carefully match profiles and colours, particularly for stone-coated tile systems, to maintain aesthetic continuity and curb appeal.
Fastener & Sealant Re-securing: In addition to panel replacement, we thoroughly inspect and re-secure screws, washers, and high-performance sealants, guarding against wind uplift and water ingress that can lead to more extensive damage.
Corrosion Treatment: We apply specialized treatments to prevent future rust and extend the lifespan of your zinc roof in Jamaica.

Asphalt Shingle Repair & Replacement

Although less ubiquitous than concrete or metal, asphalt shingles are still found on many Jamaican homes and small commercial buildings. Storm winds, heavy rainfall, and relentless tropical sun can cause shingles to crack, curl, blister, or go missing entirely, exposing your roof’s underlayment.

Our Asphalt Shingle Repair Process:

Underlayment Inspection: Our repair process begins with a thorough underlayment inspection—verifying that the waterproof base beneath your shingles remains sound.
Shingle Matching & Replacement: We skillfully swap out any compromised shingles with matching units, ensuring a seamless repair.
Algae & Moss Treatment: We also apply specialized cleaning and protective coatings to remove algae, moss, and other organic buildup, preventing future deterioration and preserving the appearance of your shingle roof.

Flashing Repair & Replacement

Flashing plays a critical role in preventing leaks at roof penetrations and intersections. Whether it’s galvanized steel around your chimney, aluminum boot flashing at plumbing vents, or custom-fabricated valley flashing, worn or improperly installed flashing can become a primary source of water intrusion.

Comprehensive Flashing Solutions:

Resealing & Replacement: Jamaica Roofing Pros offers expert flashing services: we reseal or replace rusted, corroded, or damaged flashing that’s no longer watertight.
Drip Edge Installation: We install drip edges at eaves and rakes to protect decking and fascia boards from water damage.
Watertight Transitions: We ensure that all transitions—from skylights to roof valleys—are properly installed and sealed to be completely watertight, crucial for leak prevention in Jamaican roofs.

Gutter & Downspout Repair, Cleaning & Replacement

Effective roof drainage extends beyond the surface—it requires clear, securely attached gutters and downspouts. Clogged channels or damaged sections can send water spilling over edges, saturating fascia boards, eroding landscaping, and even undermining your foundation. Our gutter repair and cleaning services in Jamaica ensure proper water management.

Our Gutter & Downspout Services:

Thorough Cleaning: Our technicians remove debris, flush systems to confirm proper flow, and prevent blockages.
Realigning & Sealing: We realign sagging sections and seal minor leaks with long-lasting compounds to restore functionality.
Replacement & Installation: If sections are beyond repair, we install new gutters and downspouts, accurately sized and pitched to handle Jamaica’s intense rainfall events.

Roof Leak Detection & Sealing (Emergency Roof Repair)

Finding the source of a roof leak can be deceptively complex, often requiring specialized tools and expertise. At Jamaica Roofing Pros, we pride ourselves on our precise roof leak detection services, offering rapid response for emergency roof repair in Jamaica.

Our Leak Detection & Sealing Process:

Advanced Diagnostics: Using thermal imaging cameras and moisture-detection scanners, we precisely locate hidden breaches beneath membranes, shingles, or metal panels, even when the source isn’t obvious.
Targeted Sealing: Once identified, we apply the appropriate, high-quality sealant—whether a premium silicone coating for metal seams, a flexible polyurethane joint filler for concrete, or acrylic elastomeric paint for shingles—to restore a reliable, long-lasting barrier.
Proactive Maintenance Plans: To stay ahead of potential leaks, we also offer proactive maintenance plans, scheduling regular inspections and resealing treatments that help you avoid costly water damage and extend your roof’s life.

Roof Ventilation Repair & Installation

Proper attic ventilation is vital in Jamaica’s hot, humid climate. Without it, heat builds up under your roof deck, accelerating shingle degradation, leading to moisture accumulation, and significantly raising indoor temperatures and energy bills. Improving your roof ventilation can transform your home’s comfort and efficiency.

Benefits of Proper Roof Ventilation:

Improved Airflow: We enhance airflow by installing continuous ridge vents, correctly sized soffit vents, and—where needed—powered or solar-powered attic fans.
Moisture & Mold Prevention: These solutions prevent damaging moisture buildup, inhibit mold growth, and help your roof system function as intended.
Energy Savings: By reducing attic temperatures, proper ventilation helps your air conditioning system run more efficiently, leading to reduced energy costs.

Pitched Roof Tile & Slate Repair

From classic clay barrel tiles to natural slate, traditional pitched roofs add timeless charm and distinct character to Jamaican properties. However, slipped, cracked, or missing tiles compromise both appearance and crucial waterproofing. Our craftsmen are experts in tile roof repair in Jamaica.

Our Tile & Slate Repair Expertise:

Individual Tile Replacement: Our skilled craftsmen meticulously replace individual broken or missing tiles using matching profiles to ensure aesthetic consistency and proper water shedding.
Structural Reinforcement: We secure loose battens and reinforce under-tile boarding where necessary to ensure the stability of your roof system.
Sourcing & Blending: For slate roofs, we source genuine or high-quality composite alternatives, ensuring each replacement blends seamlessly with your existing roof’s unique pattern.

Fascia & Soffit Repair or Replacement

Though not part of the roof deck itself, fascia boards and soffit panels are integral to your roofline’s performance and overall structural integrity. Damaged fascia can allow water to seep behind gutters, while deteriorated soffits can lead to attic moisture, mold growth, and troublesome pest infiltration. Addressing these repairs is crucial for a complete roofline restoration.

Protecting Your Roofline:

Rotten Board Replacement: We replace rotten fascia boards with durable treated timber or long-lasting PVC alternatives.
Ventilated Soffit Installation: We install ventilated soffit panels to support healthy attic airflow, preventing heat and moisture buildup.
Pest Barrier Installation: We seal any gaps with durable mesh barriers to keep out birds, rodents, and insects, safeguarding your attic space.

Structural Roof Repair (Sagging Rafters & Support)

In severe cases—often resulting from prolonged, undetected leaks, extensive termite activity, or inadequate original framing—the very underlying structure of your roof may need attention. Jamaica Roofing Pros conducts thorough load-bearing assessments and, when necessary, performs critical structural roof repairs.

Our Structural Repair Solutions:

Rafter Reinforcement: We sister or replace weakened rafters with treated lumber or steel reinforcements to restore structural integrity and prevent sagging.
Sheathing Renewal: We renew compromised sheathing before re-roofing, ensuring a solid, stable base for your new roof materials.
Building Code Compliance: Our structural repairs ensure that your roof not only looks sound but meets all local building-code requirements to withstand Jamaica’s fiercest storms and protect your family or business.
