Roof Repair

Not Every Roof Needs Replacing

Plenty of roofing companies push a full replacement when a targeted repair is all that is needed. We will tell you the truth. If your roof has years of life left and the problem is in one place, we fix what needs fixing and save you the cost of a tear-off.

Where Leaks Actually Start

Almost never in the middle of a field of shingles. Leaks start where something interrupts the roof, and in Central Texas the pipe boot is the single most common cause we get called about. Neoprene hardens and splits in Texas UV years before the shingles wear out.

• Pipe boots, the rubber collars around plumbing vents
• Flashing where the roof meets a wall or chimney
• Valleys, where two roof planes dump water together
• Skylight seals and the flashing around the unit
• Anything bolted on after the fact, like a satellite mount
• Nail pops that lift the shingle above them

What a Roof Repair Costs

It depends on what failed and how hard it is to reach. We give you a straight price after we have been on the roof, not a range over the phone.

The Stain Is Not Above the Hole

Water gets through the roof at one point, runs along the underside of the decking or down a rafter, and drops somewhere else entirely. That is why the mark on your ceiling is rarely underneath the actual entry point. We work it from the attic first, because the underside of the decking keeps a record the top of the roof hides.

Common Repairs We Handle

We carry common materials on the truck, so a lot of these get done the same day we inspect rather than scheduled for the following week.

• Missing or wind-lifted shingles
• Cracked flashing at chimneys and walls
• Pipe boot replacement
• Valley and ridge cap repair
• Skylight leak repair
• Decking replacement where the wood has gone soft

Same Day Inspections

When water is coming through a ceiling you cannot wait around. We run same day inspections across Leander, Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Georgetown so you get answers before the next rain makes it worse. You get photos of what we found and a written price to fix it.

A Repair Can Buy You Time

Choosing a repair does not have to mean you think the roof is fine. It can mean a replacement is coming and you would rather do it on your terms.

• Replace in the right season instead of the middle of July
• Get three real bids and compare them line by line
• Arrange financing instead of taking whatever is offered
• Decide on Class 4 impact resistant shingles without being rushed

When the Repair Will Not Hold

A repair on sound decking is a repair. A repair over rotted decking is a patch with a countdown on it. If the wood underneath has gone soft, or the same failure is showing up on three different slopes, we will tell you a repair is the wrong purchase. We would rather lose the small job than sell you one twice.
