Warning Signs Worth a Call
- Stains, bubbling paint or sagging drywall on ceilings. Our article on early signs of water damage on your ceiling explains what to look for.
- Shingles that are missing, cracked, curled or sliding.
- Heavy granule buildup in gutters or at downspouts.
- Musty smells or damp insulation in the attic.
- Daylight visible through the roof deck.
If your roof is past twenty years old, regular inspections are wise even without obvious symptoms.
Repairs We Make Most Often
Shingle replacement
We match shingles as closely as possible and seal them properly so they do not lift in the next wind.
Flashing repair
Loose or rusted flashing at chimneys and walls is one of the most common leak sources. We reset or replace it rather than relying on caulk.
Pipe boot replacement
Rubber collars around vent pipes crack in the sun long before the shingles wear out. A new boot is a quick, inexpensive fix.
Decking repair
When water has rotted the wood beneath, we replace the damaged section before reroofing it.
Finding the Real Source of a Leak
Water often travels along rafters before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling may be several feet from the actual entry point. We trace the path from the attic side and check every penetration upslope of the stain. Fixing the true source is the difference between a lasting roof leak repair and a patch that fails at the next storm.
Beyond the Repair
While we are on the roof, we look at gutters, fascia and attic ventilation, since problems there often cause the damage we are repairing. You will hear about anything we notice, without pressure. We serve Verona and all of Lee County; see our Lee County exterior services or our broader roofing services in Verona.
Common Questions
How much does a typical roof repair cost in Verona?
It depends on the cause, the roof's pitch and the materials involved. A pipe boot is a small job, while decking or flashing work costs more. We give you a free written estimate before any work begins.
Do you work with insurance on storm damage repairs?
Yes. We document storm damage with photos and measurements and help you understand what your insurer may need. The coverage decision is made by your insurance company.
Can a few missing shingles wait?
It is best not to wait long. Exposed underlayment breaks down in sun and rain, and neighboring shingles become easier for wind to lift.
