Traditional roof lights have been used for many hundreds of years, but the development of the modern double-glazed, fully openable roof window has brought light and life to many otherwise unusable roof spaces. Roof windows provide the most advanced and maintenance-free method of introducing daylight into loft and roof spaces. Skylights offer all of the benefits of roof windows with the added aesthetic advantage of having a clear view of the sky.
Cleaning of the roofs, rain gutters and downspouts is a critical part of prudent, annual maintenance. Our programs allow the entire gutter system to function and achieve its maximum life expectancy. Our teams make sure all loose debris is removed from both flat and sloped roof areas, all rain gutters are cleaned by hand, and each downspout is thoroughly cleaned. The driveways, walkways, and patios are swept and the customer has the option of having us remove the trash from the job site.

Patios
Gutters
Ice dams form when warmth from inside the home melts the bottom layer of snow on the roof, sending water trickling down to the edge. Exposed to frigid air, it immediately refreezes, clogging gutters and causing the water behind it to pool up and find a path into the home below, usually through the shingles. Ice dams are more common in older or poorly insulated homes and those with low-pitch roofs. But even in newer homes, a new roof can leak if water runs backward in between the shingles. This problem is resolved by using a high quality underlayment below the actual shingles.
Siding
Your home’s gutter system serves the essential function of routing water away from your foundation, and siding, protecting your home from water damage that could otherwise damage the integrity of your home’s exterior. Considering how important your gutter system is, keeping it in good repair is essential for protecting your home from damage. If you need to replace your home’s gutter system, our team at Burke Roofs is ready to assist!
Residential Roof Repair
In cold weather, warm air generated by laundry, showers, dish washing and cooking can linger in the house and cause moisture build-up. In the summer, heat build-up encourages premature aging and cracking of wood and roofing materials. Unwanted heat can also transfer back down into living areas, reducing energy efficiency.

Roof Vents
The only way to combat these problems is with a balanced ventilation system. In a balanced system, wind blowing over the ridge creates a negative pressure that draws the warmer air out of the attic. Replacement air enters through the undereave or soffit vents, bathes the underside of the roof, and exits at the ridge cap through ridge vents, roof vents or gable vents. Even with no wind, the natural convection action of rising warm air maintains a continuous airflow along the underside of the roof. It’s a system that works year ’round with no moving parts or energy consumption.
