The 2020 Just Leaks Roofing Crew

We can’t believe how fast the year went by! The holidays will soon be here, and we will be rushing around trying to get everything ready. In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it is easy to forget about what the holidays are all about — to show our appreciation and gratitude for all our loved ones. It is the time of the year that we can connect and get together. 

For this blog post, the team at Just Leaks wants to show you just how much care and appreciate your support. Throughout the Bay Area, our clients mean the world to us — we wouldn’t be here without you, to put it simply. We consider you part of our extended family as we take the time to get to know you and understand your needs as a business owner. We go beyond just fixing your roofing system.

The New Year is here, and you may be thinking: out with the old and in with the new. The question is: does this saying apply to my roof? The team at Just Leaks Roofing is here to help you decide if you need just roof repair or a complete new roof.

The answer to this question is far from simple. When deciding whether or not your commercial building needs a repair or replacement, we take several things into consideration, including the building’s function, climate, age of the roof, budget, and building code, to name a few. However, the first step to answering deciding on the status of your roof begins with a thorough assessment of your roof. From there, we will be able to discuss the state of your commercial roof and how to proceed.

During an assessment, we will thoroughly inspect your commercial roof. We will carefully analyze:

• Water infiltration.
• Interior and exterior damage.
• Roof membrane movement and damage.
• Deck and structure issues
• Best options for you, your business, and your budget.

At first, there is no simple answer to whether or not your roof can be repaired or needs to be replaced. After thorough and detailed assessment of your roof, you will have a final answer. With the New Year upon us, you may need a new roof, or you may be able to hang onto to the past for just a little bit longer. Call Just Leaks today for a comprehensive roof inspection at 408-249-4646. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

If you are an experienced roofer, here is what the Just Leaks team is seeking:

3 to 5 years of flat roofing and some carpentry are needed for an industrial flat roofing co. You must perform a wide range of tasks. You must have the following:

• A clean DMV record
• Pass a background check and a drug test
• Have good communication skills
• Be self-motivated and a team player

We will provide your tools, truck, lunch, a friendly work environment and some benefits. Pay is based on ability.

We are an industrial flat roof maintenance and repair company. We mostly do service type work. In the Winter and Spring, we do leak calls. In the Fall, we do maintenance. During Summer, we do whole roofs using cold process built-up, coatings, SPF foam and SA systems. We also have a General Contractor’s license so we can take on anything we want. Our work is very diverse.  We do a bit of carpentry, rot repair, new framing, and structural upgrades.

We are a medium size outfit in San Jose whose workers try hard to work together as a team. We are looking for someone who can hit the ground running. We also want a person who cares about the work he is doing, the company he is working for, and the people he is working with, knowing his care and attention will be reciprocated. We tend to work year round with little down time. You would need to be willing to do whatever is needed at the time, (and there is quite a list). You will not get bored.

If you believe you are a great fit for this position, submit your cover letter and resume to Craig Siemer at craig@justleaks.com.

Sometimes we get nutty roof repair requests…but not in the way you might think.

In this roof repair case, squirrels wreaked havoc on a roof flashing when they decided to use this college dormitory roof as their food storage pantry. Here are a few photos of how Just Leaks saved the day for the students attending The University of California, Santa Cruz campus.

As you can see, the pipe jack flashing was dislocated by the squirrels, and they stored their nuts underneath. We have to admit, these squirrels were pretty smart! However, we needed to immediately repair and protect the college dorm roof from further damage.

After the Just Leaks team removed the acorns, we then removed the roof jack flashing, replaced the deteriorated underlayment, re-installed the jack flashing, and sealed it all up.

No squirrels were harmed during the process, but they were a little perturbed that we removed their convenient roof-top nut stash. UC Santa Cruz students and staff members, however, were thrilled that we repaired this dormitory roof. There was concern about potential leaks and other roof damage during the El Nino winter storms if this damage was ignored.

UPDATE:  The squirrels are fine living in a neighboring tree, and they appear to be healthy and happy. We could have sworn during our last visit, however, that they were barking insults at us. But hey, hat’s off to our resourceful, furry, nut-loving friends. 🙂

If you are concerned when local wildlife causes damage to your commercial roof, you can rest easy knowing that Just Leaks will do a complete and reliable roof repair.
