Roof Repair

Roof repair fixes damage from rain, wind, hail, and snow dams. You may have spotted lost shingles, loose panels or flapping trim. A falling branch or blowing debris may have resulted in an immediate repair issue. Or, you have had the all-too-common experience of looking up at a ceiling and seeing a stain from a leak.

Top five reasons leaks are the most common problem homeowners face.

1. Wind and hail can scour off asphalt granules. This weakens water resistance and almost always requires roof repair. Flat commercial roofs can crack; nails and glue can loosen on any roofing material; and aging roofing can simply have come to the end of its useful life.
2. Valleys are where two roof planes intersect. Water travels along a valley and can get inside your home or office.
3. Loose flashing leaks. Your roof will have flashing where it meets a vertical wall, around plumbing vents, furnace vents, and skylights.
4. The tar paper, or felt, laid under shingles is the second line of defense against wind drive rain. If it was substandard or put in poorly, it gives way to wind and rain. Roof repair may involve replacing that sub-surface.
5. The problem could originate in siding or gutters, and may not be a roof issue at all. Fortunately, we are gutter experts (a quality roofer should be). Our professionals will give you an honest determination.

A leak is seldom directly above the place you’ve spotted moisture. Roofs slope and water runs. The problem may be eight to ten feet from the visible damage.

FACT: severe weather may compromise almost any kind of roofing material. But frequently something is wrong that roof repair can address.

• If the shingles, tile or metal was not properly installed even a moderate storm will loosen them. Something as simple as the wrong number of nails, or substandard metal roof attachments, can result in wind damage years after your existing roof was improperly installed.
• Another factor in wind damage is the “glue”. Adhesive strips bond one shingle to the next. If the shingles were not properly handled and the glue strip was dirty, the glue will eventually give way in wind.
• Finally, the original builder of your home or building may have installed the wrong kind of material for the slope of your roof. This may result in roof replacement, and may not be able to be handled with a roof repair.

Damage from blowing debris and falling trees
Of course, this can’t be anticipated and even a roof in top condition may not stand up to this kind of wind, ice storm or snow damage. We will be your advocate with your insurance company. Our owner, Crystal Anderson, is an Insurance Claim Expert who will fully explain your process for claiming maximum reimbursement for wind or fire damage.

Hail puts dents in metal, cracks tiles, and scours asphalt shingle
This is not just a cosmetic problem for your home or business. It is a serious invitation to leaks. Call us when you’ve had hail damage. Your roof needs inspection. And don’t forget the garage! Don’t allow the water resistance of your roof to deteriorate, resulting in even more extensive roof repair in the future. If insurance is involved, Crystal will be on the case.
