Common Roof Repairs We Make
- Missing or blown-off shingles after wind storms
- Cracked or worn pipe boots, one of the most common sources of leaks
- Chimney flashing that's pulled away or was sealed with caulk instead of properly flashed
- Wall and step flashing where roofs meet siding or brick
- Valley leaks where two roof slopes meet
- Skylight leaks around the frame and flashing
- Damaged vents and exhaust caps
- Soft or rotted decking from long-term leaks
Finding the Real Source
Water can travel along rafters and decking before it shows up on your ceiling, so the stain isn't always below the leak. We inspect the roof and, when needed, the attic, to trace the water back to where it's getting in. Fixing the actual source the first time saves you from paying for the same leak twice.
Don't wait on a leak: A small leak can soak insulation, rot decking and grow mold long before it shows on the ceiling. The sooner it's fixed, the cheaper it usually is.
Repair or Replace: an Honest Answer
If your roof has years of life left, we'll repair it. If it's near the end of its life, has widespread hail damage, or keeps leaking in new places, we'll explain why replacement may be the better value. Either way, you'll see photos and make the call.
Storm Damage?
If a storm caused the damage, your homeowners insurance may cover it. Learn about our free storm damage inspections and insurance claim help.
Common Questions
Why does my roof leak only during heavy rain?
Leaks that show up only in heavy or wind-driven rain often come from flashing at walls or chimneys, valleys, or worn pipe boots. Water gets pushed in sideways when it's heavy enough. These are usually repairable.
Can you match my existing shingles?
We'll get as close as we can. Shingle colors fade over time and some lines are discontinued, so a new patch may look slightly different at first. We'll talk through options before we start.
Is it worth repairing an old roof?
If the roof is near the end of its life and leaking in several places, replacement is often the better value. If it's younger with an isolated problem, a repair makes sense. We'll give you an honest opinion.
Are roof leaks covered by insurance?
Leaks caused by storm damage may be covered. Leaks from age and wear usually aren't. We'll tell you what we think caused the leak and document it if storm damage is involved.
