What a Roof Repair Visit Covers

A repair visit starts up on the roof, following the water back to the spot where it gets in, and the fix goes there: storm damage, worn flashing, a split pipe boot or a seal that has let go.

Water runs along the rafters before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling is usually downhill of the opening. That is why a patch over the stain so often fails, and why we look at the whole roof before we price anything. We repair residential roofs and the low-slope roofs on commercial buildings.

A local search for roof repair here lists three rated roofers. After a hailstorm, that is a short list for a whole city to call, so a dry week is the better time to have someone look.

Leaks. Traced uphill to the "pipe boot", valley, chimney or wall line that let the water in.
Hail and wind damage. Bruised shingles, torn tabs and shingles the wind has lifted off their seal.
Flashing. The roof metal at chimneys, skylights, valleys and walls, the most common place a roof leaks.
Rotted wood. "Dry rot" in the deck or the "fascia", cut out and replaced while the roof is open.
Gutters and edges. Gutters that back water under the eaves, and loose or missing edge metal.

What wears a roof down

Sun, Wind and Shingles

In every neighborhood across town, a shingle roof wears from the top down: sun strips the granules off the surface and wind works at the seal that holds each tab flat.

"Granule loss" shows up as grit in the gutters and bald spots on the shingles, a sign the shingle is losing its protection from the sun. A broken "sealant bond", the factory seal between tabs, is what lets the wind lift a shingle, and it is hand-tested at the rakes and eaves.

Both are worth planning around. A broken seal or a few loose tabs is a small course-level fix; left until a storm tears them off, they become a leak and a bigger bill.

What the houses bring

Older Homes and Newer Roofs

Half the homes here were built in 1977 or earlier, by the census count, so many of them are on a later roof than the one they were built with.

A newer roof on an older house has its own weak points: where new "drip edge" meets old fascia, where flashing was reused at a chimney or wall, and whether the last roof went on as an "overlay" over the one before. An overlay saves the tear-off, but the nails have to pass through two layers, which weakens the fastening.

Repair is the main job. Not the only one.

Past patching

Roof Replacement on Aging Roofs

When a roof is past patching, we replace it: the old roofing comes off down to the deck and a new roof goes on.

58.1% of the occupied homes here are lived in by their owners, and an owner weighing one more repair against a new roof gets both priced on the same free estimate.

After a storm

Roof Inspection After Hail

After a hailstorm, we inspect the whole roof, because hail bruises shingles and loosens flashing without leaving a mark you can see from the yard.

One storm can reach a good share of a city's 73,000 housing units, so getting on the list early matters. The same inspection serves a home sale, as a written "roof certification" for the buyer or lender.

Water coming in

Emergency Roof Repair for Active Leaks

When water is coming in now, "tarping" comes first: a tarp over the damage stops it, and the permanent repair follows once the roof is dry enough to work on.

We take those calls across town, from the streets below William Frederick Hayden Park on Green Mountain to the far side of the city, Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 6 pm.
