Roof Repair
Find the Leak.
Fix the Cause.
A leak in the ceiling is almost never directly under the hole. Water travels along rafters and decking before it shows itself. Repairing the stain is not repairing the roof.
What we repair
- Active leaks and ceiling stains, traced back to the actual point of entry.
- Cracked or displaced pipe boots — the most common leak source we find, and often unrelated to any storm.
- Damaged, missing or wind-creased shingles.
- Failed flashing at valleys, chimneys, walls and roof-to-roof transitions.
- Storm damage: hail bruising, wind uplift, impact damage from debris.
- Ridge cap and ridge vent damage.
- Gutter and drainage issues contributing to water intrusion.
How a repair visit actually goes
1. We inspect the whole system, not just the reported spot
A single visible leak frequently sits alongside two or three other conditions that will become leaks within a year. We would rather show you all of them now than come back three times.
2. We trace the water path
Interior evidence tells us where water exited. Finding where it entered means working back uphill along the framing — which is why an attic inspection is part of a proper leak diagnosis, not an optional extra.
3. We tell you honestly whether repair is the right call
Sometimes it clearly is: a localized failure on an otherwise sound roof. Sometimes it clearly isn't: widespread granule loss, a deck with moisture damage, or a roof already past its service life, where a repair is money spent twice. We will say which one you are looking at, and we will show you the photos that led us there.
Repair or replace?
A repair usually makes sense when the roof is well within its service life, the damage is contained to a defined area, and the deck underneath is sound. Replacement usually makes more sense when damage is spread across multiple slopes, when the shingles have lost significant granule coverage, or when repeated repairs have already been made to the same area.

Common Questions
Straight Answers.
Call us and we will give you a realistic timeframe rather than an optimistic one. If water is actively entering the home, say so on the call — active intrusion moves to the front of the schedule. See also emergency roof repair.
A repair performed to manufacturer-approved practice generally will not. A repair done with incompatible materials or improper technique can. This is one of the practical reasons to have repairs done by a roofing company rather than a general handyman.
Yes. The inspection and the written findings cost nothing and carry no obligation. We are not going to pretend otherwise or attach conditions to it.
Almost certainly not. A dry stain usually means it has not rained recently, or that water is now collecting somewhere you cannot see. Intermittent leaks are still leaks, and the damage between appearances is cumulative.
