This winter has been brutal on residential roofs across the Capital District.

Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at the edge of the roof — trapping water behind the shingles. Once that happens, water starts working its way inside where it doesn’t belong.

That’s when homeowners notice:
• Ceiling stains
• Dripping water
• Peeling paint
• Wet insulation
• Sagging drywall

By the time you see those signs, the roof has usually been leaking for a while.

The good news is most issues can be fixed with targeted roof repair, maintenance, or reroofing — before the damage spreads.

If your roof took a beating this winter in Albany, Troy, Schenectady, or the surrounding Capital Region, Capital Weatherproofing is here to help.

Residential roof repair, reroofing, and maintenance.

This is the time of year when commercial roofs start doing… questionable things.

Snow melts during the day. Refreezes at night. Seams move. Flashings shift. Tiny openings form — and nobody notices until a ceiling tile turns into a sponge.

Flat roofs don’t usually fail all at once. They fail slowly, quietly, and at the worst possible time.

The good news: most aging commercial roofs in the Capital District can be restored with a silicone coating system instead of being torn off and replaced.

If you manage or own a building in Albany, Troy, or Schenectady, late winter is the perfect time to check things out before spring leaks begin.

❄️ Flat Roof Leaks Love Winter… Here’s Why

This time of year is ROUGH on flat and low-slope roofs around Albany and the Capital District.

We see the same problems every winter:
🔹 Freeze/thaw cycles opening up seams
🔹 Ponding water turning into heavy ice
🔹 Aging rubber (EPDM) roofs cracking and shrinking
🔹 Small leaks turning into interior damage fast

Most building owners don’t realize their roof is failing until water shows up inside.

At Capital Weatherproofing, we specialize in restoring flat roofs with seamless silicone systems that:
✔ Stop leaks
✔ Handle ponding water
✔ Protect aging rubber roofs
✔ Extend roof life without a full tear-off

If your building has had recurring leaks or “that one problem area” every winter… it’s worth getting it looked at now before spring rains hit.

2–3 story flat roof with limited access — fluid-applied membrane system installed to address chronic leaks and ponding water.

These are the types of buildings many contractors avoid due to access and logistics. We specialize in evaluating and coating flat roofs where replacement isn’t always the best first option.

Not every roof is a candidate, and we’ll always say so.

Here come the wind and tree damage calls 😬😳 If a limb/tree falls on your roof- give us a call right away: 518-310-6777
We’re on standby for storm restoration and emergency (roof) services.

We work directly with your homeowners insurance, in order to expedite getting you back to safe and dry. We recommend (not) filing a claim, until someone comes out to assess the damage, as sometimes, with smaller repairs- they can be less than your deductible and result in a (no pay out claim)- which can adversely effect your homeowners policy.

Stay safe out there! 🌬️
