Roof repair near you, from one call

Common roof repairs

• Missing or lifted shingles after wind, age or a storm.
• Flashing repair where the roof meets walls, valleys and vents.
• Vent boot and pipe collar repair, a frequent source of slow leaks.
• Ridge cap repair when caps crack or blow off.
• Soft or sagging spots that point to wet decking underneath.
• Nail pops and exposed fasteners that let water in over time.

Repair or replace?

Most roofs can be repaired when the problem is local: a handful of shingles, one flashing detail, a single vent. Replacement starts to make sense when problems repeat across the roof, the shingles are curling or bald of granules, or the decking is soft in several places.

A roofer who looks at the roof in person can tell you which one you're facing. Ask them to show you photos of what they found.

What to do before the roofer arrives

1. Move belongings away from any drip and catch water in a bucket.
2. Take photos of the ceiling and anything you can see from the ground.
3. Stay off the roof, especially if it's wet or steep.
4. Write down when you first noticed the problem and what the weather was.
