Roofing in Princeton, IA

Princeton is a narrow strip of river town, and like everything on this stretch of the Mississippi it takes wind off open water and holds a lot of older property that has been added to over the years.

Additions Are Where It Leaks

Small river houses grow. A porch gets enclosed, a room goes on the back, a garage gets attached. Each of those creates a place where a new roof plane meets an old wall, and that junction is the single most common leak point on a house like this.

Often the addition is also low slope, which means shingles were put somewhere shingles do not belong. That is worth checking before you spend money chasing a leak somewhere else.

What We Get Called For in Princeton

• Leaks at the junction between additions and the original house
• Low slope porch and addition roofs wrongly shingled
• Wind damage off the open river
