How a Roof Repair Job Runs

A repair runs from tracing the problem on the roof to a written estimate, the matched repair and a photo record of the finished work, and it goes in these four steps.

  1. We get on the roof and trace it. We find the real source of the leak before we recommend any work, because the wet spot on the ceiling is rarely under the hole in the roof.
  2. You get photos, findings and an itemized written estimate. Nothing is scheduled until you have all three in hand and have said yes.
  3. We repair the failed area with matched materials. The shingle, the metal or the membrane matches the roof system you already have, so the repair belongs to the roof.
  4. The job closes with before-and-after photos and a written record. You keep the record for your files, your insurer or the next owner of the house.

How we work

Gutters, Fascia and Rotted Wood

A roof repair can include the gutter and roof drainage repair and the rotted decking, fascia and framing we find under the roofing, so one call covers the water and what the water did.

Clogged or badly pitched gutters push water back under the eaves and rot the fascia, the board at the roof edge. "Dry rot" is the trade's word for that decay in the deck, the fascia or the framing, and a repair often uncovers it. When it does, the carpentry is part of the job and part of the written estimate, not a surprise on the bill.

What Sets a Roof Repair Price

A roof repair is priced by the damage, the roof's size, pitch and access, and the materials, and our cost guide walks through the typical ranges. Steeper roofs and taller houses take longer to work on, and so does rot found underneath once the roofing comes up. A broken seal or a few displaced tabs is a small course-level fix, while a failed "pipe boot", a bad valley or an open counterflashing is a larger detail rebuild.

We put no number on a roof we have not stood on. Call for a free estimate, and the exact price comes from that visit, in writing, before any work.

Know Your Roof

The questions below sit beside a repair, and each one links to the guide that answers it in full.

Repair or Replace

Damage across more than about a quarter of the roof, or a patch that keeps failing, can point to replacement rather than another repair. One leak at a pipe boot or a valley is a repair; worn shingles over the whole slope are a replacement, and we tell you which after we have been on the roof.

Roof Lifespan

Asphalt shingles typically last 20 to 30 years, and tile, metal and slate last longer. "Granule loss", the grit in the gutters and bald spots on the shingles, is the sign a shingle roof is losing its protection.

Flashing and Leaks

Most roof leaks start at the "flashing", the metal around the chimney, the walls, the pipes and the valleys. Those are the custom sheet-metal parts of a roof, drip edges, chimney shrouds, valleys and door pans, and they are the first places we check. The National Roofing Contractors Association roofing manual is the industry reference for how those details go together.

Insurance and Your Roof

Insurance usually covers sudden storm damage and not wear and tear, and the insurer, not the roofer, decides coverage, approval and payment. We give you the photos and the written findings the claim needs.
