Some of the most difficult areas to protect on a roof installation are the facets on which there is a change of pitch. Creating watertight roof transitions requires multiple layers of overlapping materials, installed in a sequence to ensure they provide the correct protection against wind, rain and snow. Watch as our crew members begin the transition from a flat porch roof to a pitched shingle roof on a residential shingle install in Denver, CO. If you have questions or concerns about your current roof, give us a ring at any time, at (720)-583-1690 or click on one of the links below. Our inspections and our advice is always free!
If you are dealing with a roof leak around the vent in your bathroom or kitchen, the cause could be a leaky pipe boot. An important part of the roof, the pipe boot is rubber or metal flashing that is wrapped about the base of a ventilation pipe. This flashing is partially buried under asphalt shingles or completely hidden to add a further layer of protection from rainfall. So, what causes the leaking? Over time the pipe boot can break down or wear out allowing rainwater to seep through and enter the roof via the opening in the roof deck around the pipe. This moisture can drip down the side of the pipe and into the ceiling causing water damage to your home. At Cenco Building Services, we can tackle this roof repair within as little as one appointment to stop the damage in its tracks. How do our trained and licensed contractors go about this process?
Our Cenco contractors first complete an inspection of your roof, especially around the area where you suspect damage. If we believe that the roof is leaking around the pipe boot, we’ll complete a water test here. The water test will show where water is leaking into the roof more clearly. Once we’ve confirmed the pipe boot is the problem, we’ll begin the process of removing and replacing it: The contractor will remove the roof shingles for 2 ft. in all directions to expose the underlayment.Any visible signs of water damage to the underlayment and pipe boot will be noted.The existing pipe boot is pulled up and removed.The underlayment is cut away to expose the decking.The contractor takes note of visible rot and water damage in the decking.All damaged or rotted decking is replaced.A new pipe boot is installed next. A water shield is applied around the pipe boot to minimize seams where water can enter.New felt is applied over top of this area.Our contractor installs new shingles over the area.Lastly, the pipe boot is sealed along the top of the gasket with a silicone bead.
It’s better not to ignore this issue as it can get worse, eventually requiring major repairs or even a roof replacement. If you are worried about the condition of your pipe boot, reach out to Cenco Building Services. We can assess the damage and help you determine whether a roof repair is needed. You’ll even enjoy an up to 2-year guarantee with our work. Give us a call or fill out our online form to get started with a consultation and free quote for repairs today.
When a vent on the roof is old, rusted, or damaged, it can allow water to leak into the home every time it rains. Not only is this annoying, it can cause worse structural damage if neglected. At Cenco Building Services, we can make quick work of replacing a damaged roof vent for homeowners. The process is simple.
Our contractor will confirm that the vent is leaking with a water test before getting started on your roof repair. The test involves running water from a garden hose along all four sides of the vent to simulate rainwater. During the test, the contractor looks for areas where there may be water penetrating the roof, such as raised shingles, bent metal, and exposed underlayment. After the water test, the real work begins on your vent replacement. Our contractors will complete this repair in the following steps:

We could not be more thankful for the hard work by our team members at the 2020 Cenco Volunteer Day, in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity Metro Denver and our charity partner Blues and BBQ for Better Housing.Our team members weathered the cold morning to install siding and hand dig the fencing posts for this revitalization project to help a neighbor complete their home. Kudos to @Lucas Tuttle, @Deann Schmied, @Rob Clement, @Kevin Huber and @Brad Livengood for donating time and hand power to make this project a success! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
“Act safe. Be well. Do good..”It’s a new mantra we have been repeating at Cenco since the start of March. We were blessed yesterday to live it out, helping a neighbor in Arvada to complete a much needed roof replacement at no charge, sponsored by Cenco through the City of Arvada’s revitalization program.Thanks to our amazing crew members for a smooth and professional build! #CencoCares #CityofArvada #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #dogoodthings

As we look around, people are in need…Of a lot of things. Support, opportunity, a positive message. Perhaps now more than ever. As a group, Cenco Building Services can and will continue to help in the ways we can: our contribution is through roofing for those in need of the protection a roof provides their family but who cannot afford it.We are happy to continue our support of this fine group of people who are making the hard work happen. Thanks to Blues & BBQ for Better Housing and Habitat for Humanity for the opportunity to help out in 2020. Be well. Stay safe. Do Good.
Clean work sites are the most obvious indicator of the organization required to install a superior roofing system. While a roof replacement always sounds messy and appears to be chaotic, it is a carefully orchestrated process. Behind the hammering of pneumatic guns are protocols, safety checks, code requirements and quality control milestones. We are proud of the work our NRCA (National Roofing Contractor Association) PRO-Certified shingle installers complete each and every day.
