Roof Repair
Leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing and storm damage fixed properly, so the repair lasts as long as the roof around it.
Roof Inspection: Know What Shape Your Roof Is In
You cannot see most of your roof from the ground. We get on it, look at every part that fails first, and show you photos of what we find.
What we check
On the roof: the condition of the shingles, granule loss, lifted or missing tabs, exposed nails, the flashing at walls and chimneys, pipe boots, valleys, and the ridge. At the edges: drip edge and the fascia behind it. On a flat roof: seams, flashing, drains and any areas where water sits.
Where the attic is accessible, we look at the underside of the deck for stains, daylight and damp insulation. Those signs often show a problem before it reaches a ceiling.
When an inspection is worth it
After a storm with high wind or hail. Before you buy or sell a house. When the roof is getting older and you want to plan for its replacement instead of being surprised by it. And any time you see a stain, a drip or shingles on the lawn.
What you get
A straight answer. We tell you what needs repair now, what to watch and roughly how much life the roof has left, with photos to back it up. If you do not need a new roof yet, we will say so.

Roof Inspection questions
How often should a roof be inspected?
A good rule is once a year and after any major storm. Older roofs benefit most, because small problems caught early are cheap to fix.
What do you look at during a roof inspection?
Shingles, flashing, pipe boots, valleys, ridge caps, drip edge and fascia, plus the underside of the roof deck in the attic where we can reach it. On flat roofs we check seams, flashing and drainage.
Can you inspect a roof on a house I am buying?
Yes, with the permission of the owner or the agent. A roof inspection before closing tells you whether to budget for repairs or a replacement.
Will you tell me if I do not need a new roof?
Yes. Our business runs on referrals, and people refer the roofer who told them the truth. If a repair will do, that is what we recommend.
Do you inspect commercial and flat roofs?
Yes. We inspect flat and low-slope roofs on commercial buildings and multifamily properties, including the membrane, seams, flashing and drains.
Do I get the findings in writing?
Yes. You get photos of what we found and a written summary, along with an estimate for any work we recommend.
