Roof Repair
Small problems, fixed before they’re big ones.
A lifted shingle or a cracked pipe boot is a quick fix today and a stained ceiling by spring. We trace the leak to its real source and repair it right the first time — and if a repair isn’t the honest answer, we’ll tell you that too.
The Scope
What's Included
Leak Tracing
Water almost never drips where it gets in. We trace the stain back to the actual entry point — which is usually flashing or a pipe boot, not the shingles at all.
Shingle Replacement
Wind-lifted, creased, or missing shingles replaced and hand-sealed, color-matched as closely as your existing roof allows.
Flashing & Chimney Repair
Step and counter-flashing at chimneys and sidewalls re-bent, re-sealed, or replaced outright — the single most common leak source we find in west county homes.
Pipe Boots & Vents
The rubber collar around your plumbing vents dries out and cracks years before the shingles wear out, sending water straight into the attic. We replace boots and reseat loose vents before they do real damage.
Decking & Rot Patches
Where water has already gotten in, we cut out the soft wood and replace it. We don’t shingle over rot — a repair that doesn’t hold isn’t a repair.
Emergency Tarping
When water is actively coming in, the permanent fix waits its turn. We get the opening covered and secured first — same visit whenever we can — so one bad leak doesn’t become a ruined ceiling while the repair gets scheduled.
Attic-Side Diagnosis
Half of a good leak diagnosis happens under the roof, not on it. We check the decking from the attic for water trails, daylight, and condensation — which also catches ventilation problems that mimic roof leaks and get misdiagnosed constantly.
The Repair
From Leak to Fixed
Step 01
Find the Source
We get on the roof and into the attic, trace the stain to where the water actually gets in — not just where it shows — and photograph everything we see.
Step 02
The Honest Verdict
If it’s a repair, we quote the repair. If the roof is at the end of its life, we tell you that instead — in writing, with the photos to back it up.
Step 03
Fixed in One Visit
Most repairs are finished the day we show up — and if water is actively coming in, we tarp first and schedule the permanent fix second.
Step 04
Backed in Writing
Every repair leaves with a written warranty on the work we did. If our fix fails, we come back — no arguing, no re-diagnosis fee.
Know the Signs
Seven Signs Your Roof Needs Attention
Roofs rarely fail overnight — they send warnings first, and most of them are visible from the ground or the attic hatch. The big seven: granules piling up in gutters and at the base of downspouts, which means the shingles are shedding their protective surface. Shingles that are curling at the edges, cracked, or missing outright. A water stain on a ceiling or wall, even a faint one that comes and goes. Pipe boots with cracked rubber collars, or flashing that’s rusted, lifted, or smeared with somebody’s old roofing tar.
Then the subtler three: nail pops — heads backing up through the shingle surface, each one a future entry point for water. Daylight showing through the roof boards when you look up from the attic, or damp, darkened decking around penetrations. And sagging — any dip or wave in the roofline, which is a structural conversation, not a shingle one, and worth a call the same week you notice it.
None of these automatically means a big bill. A cracked pipe boot is a modest fix; caught early, most of this list is. The point of the free inspection is to tell you which warning you’ve got, show you the photos, and put the honest fix — sometimes a few hundred dollars, sometimes nothing yet — in writing.
The Honest Math
Repair or Replace?
It’s the question behind every repair call, so here’s the framework we actually use. Age: an asphalt roof in its first fifteen years is usually worth repairing, because you’re protecting a lot of remaining life. Spread: damage confined to one slope or one flashing detail argues for a repair; problems showing up across multiple slopes argue the roof is failing as a system. Frequency: the third leak in two years isn’t a leak problem, it’s a roof problem — at that point you’re buying a replacement one service call at a time, minus the warranty.
Where the math gets close, we tell you it’s close. A repair that buys a twenty-year-old roof one more winter can still be the right move if you’re selling in the spring — and the wrong one if you’re staying ten years. Because repairs and replacements are both work we do every week, we genuinely don’t care which answer wins. The inspection is free, the photos are yours, and the verdict comes in writing either way.
