When to Call for a Roof Repair

Loose Roof Shingles

---

Loose Shingles

Loose shingles are shingles that have lifted or become detached from the roof surface. This often happens due to strong winds, aging materials, or storm damage. If left unrepaired, loose shingles can allow water to penetrate the roof and cause leaks or structural damage.​

Ceiling Water Damage From a Roof Leak

Roof Leak

A roof leak occurs when water finds its way through damaged roofing materials and into the home. Leaks can lead to stained ceilings, mold growth, damaged insulation, and costly repairs. Prompt attention can prevent further damage and protect your property.​

Missing Roof Shingles

Missing Shingles

Missing shingles leave sections of the roof exposed to the elements. This can happen after severe weather, high winds, or normal wear and tear over time. Replacing missing shingles quickly helps prevent water intrusion and extends the life of the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof repair cost?

Roof repair costs can vary widely depending on the type of damage, how long the problem has existed, and the extent of any underlying issues. While many repairs fall between $250 and $2,000, some may cost more. Because every situation is different, an accurate estimate can only be provided after inspecting the roof. That's why we offer free estimates and inspections to properly assess the issue and recommend the best solution.

How do I know if my roof needs repair?

Common signs that your roof may need repair include leaks, water stains on ceilings, missing or damaged shingles, cracked roofing materials, and excessive granules in your gutters. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to schedule an inspection as soon as possible to prevent further damage. We offer free roof inspections and estimates.

Can a roof leak be repaired, or do I need a new roof?

Not all roof leaks require a full roof replacement. Many leaks can be repaired if the damage is isolated and addressed early. The best way to determine the right solution is through a professional inspection. We offer free inspections and estimates to assess the condition of your roof and recommend the most cost-effective option.

What are the most common reasons a roof leaks?

Roof leaks can happen for many reasons and often depend on the type of roofing material. On tile roofs, common causes include cracked or displaced tiles, damaged underlayment, or even rodents moving tiles and damaging the roofing felt beneath. On both tile and shingle roofs, leaks are frequently caused by worn pipe jacks, damaged flashing, valleys, or other roof penetrations. In some cases, leaks occur simply because the roof has reached the end of its expected lifespan. Because every roof is different, the exact cause can only be determined through an inspection. We offer free roof inspections and estimates to identify the source of the leak and recommend the best solution.

How long does a roof repair last?

A properly performed roof repair should last for years. That's why we provide a two-year workmanship warranty on all qualifying repairs. If a repair cannot reasonably be expected to last and qualify for our warranty, we will let you know upfront and recommend a better long-term solution. Our goal is to provide repairs that solve the problem, not temporary fixes that leave you with the same issue later.

Which leaks are less likely to be roof-related?

Based on our experience:

• Leaks that appear when it has not rained for several days, weeks, or longer may be less likely to be roof-related and could be caused by plumbing or AC condensation issues.
• Leaks coming from AC vents can sometimes come from the HVAC system, especially if condensation or drainage has backed up. 
• In two-story homes, leaks appearing on the first floor are also often associated with plumbing problems rather than the roof.

​However, every situation is different, and some of these leaks can still be roof related. The best way to know for sure is to schedule an inspection so the source of the leak can be properly identified.
