Inspecting Shingle Roofs
On shingles we look for lifted or missing tabs, cracks, granule loss and hail bruising, then check flashing, valleys, pipe boots and the attic. Shingle problems tend to start at edges and penetrations, so those get the closest look.
Inspecting and Repairing Metal Roofs
Metal roofs usually leak at fasteners and seams rather than through the panels. On exposed-fastener metal, the rubber washers under each screw dry out and crack over time, and screws can back out as panels expand and contract.
- Replacing worn screws with new, gasketed fasteners.
- Sealing or re-lapping seams and end laps.
- Replacing rusted or damaged panels.
- Rebuilding ridge caps and trim that have loosened in wind.
After the Inspection
You get photos, a plain explanation of each problem and a written estimate. We separate urgent repairs from items that can wait so you can plan. Most roof repairs take one to three days, depending on the extent of the damage and the size of the roof, and many smaller fixes are finished in one visit.
When a Leak Cannot Wait
If water is coming in, protect belongings, catch the drips and call us. When it is safe, we can put temporary protection in place, then return for a permanent repair. Our page on emergency roof leak repair in Mississippi explains what to expect.
