Roofing

Repair and leak diagnosis

A stain on the ceiling does not always mean a new roof. Sometimes it does. We will tell you the truth either way.

Water is a liar. It shows up on your ceiling three feet from where it actually got in. Chasing the stain instead of the source is how a roof gets caulked five times and still leaks.

We find the source, not the symptom

Most leaks are not the field of the roof failing. They are flashing, a backed-out fastener, a cracked boot around a pipe, or ice that pushed water uphill under the shingles. We trace it to the real entry point and fix that, so the repair actually holds.

Repair or replace

The honest question on an older roof is whether a repair buys you five years or five months. We will give you a straight answer, including when the answer is that a repair is throwing good money after bad and you are better off planning a replacement. You decide with the full picture.

  • Flashing failures at walls, chimneys, and skylights
  • Cracked or slipped shingles from wind and snow load
