Roof Repairs

In addition to roof replacement we offer roof repair. Many times we schedule an estimate when it is not known whether repair or replacement makes the most sense. You can rely on us to give an honest assessment.

There are a variety of reasons that a roof will need repair. The most common first sign of trouble are dark water stains on your ceiling. It's important to be sure that the person diagnosing the source of the leak have experience with the roof leak s. It's also important to get an honest assessment about the condition of the roof so that you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

There are essentially three reasons a roof needs repair:

• The roof is nearing the time that it needs to be replaced.

• There are some defects in material or workmanship.

• It has sustained some weather damage.

If the roof is nearing replacement time it may make sense to replace it and roll the cost of repairs into the new roof investment. If the roof is leaking due to defects in workmanship or material it may be covered under either the manufacturer's warranty or the warranty provided by the roofing contractor that installed it. If the roof is leaking due to wind damage, a hail storm or other weather event it may be covered by your insurance.

When a roof leaks because of defects it is more likely that the cause is workmanship and not the materials. The most likely places are where the roofing material terminates into something else. This would include chimneys, pipes, vents, skylights, where the roof meets a wall (step flashing), valleys and roof transitions. There are many other sources, but these are the most common.

In the case of wind damage, if the damage is relatively minor you may not want to make a claim on your homeowner's policy before having a roofer look at the roof. Oftentimes the cost of repair on a small amount of damage is less than the policies' deductible. If the damage is more significant then obviously call your insurance company right away. You probably should call a contractor ASAP if the damage is wide spread so as to get service before your contractor gets overwhelmed with other calls.
When you are contracting to have roof repair work done it's a good idea to investigate whether the contractor is providing a warranty on the workmanship. Keep in mind that the manufacturer's warranty doesn't protect you against defects in workmanship.

You can be assured that not only can we quickly fix your leak, but do it in a way that will last as long as your roof will and we will guarantee our work.
