Repairs
What the job involves.
A ceiling stain is almost never under the hole. Water gets in at a penetration or a valley, runs along the top of a rafter or the underside of the decking, and drops at the first low point it meets, which can be two rooms away. So a repair that starts by patching directly above the stain usually ends with the homeowner calling again in the spring.
The entry points are boringly predictable, and that is good news. Pipe boots are first: the rubber collar around a plumbing vent perishes in Texas sun in eight to twelve years, splits, and lets water straight down the pipe into the ceiling below the bathroom. Chimney and wall flashing is second, particularly where a previous repair used sealant instead of metal. Valleys are third, then nail pops, then a satellite dish someone screwed straight through the field.

The Difference
Why the details matter.
We chase it from both ends where we can: the attic side when there is access, because the staining on the decking usually points straight back at the entry, and the roof side to confirm it. Then we fix what is causing it. A boot gets a new boot rather than a bead of caulk, flashing gets replaced in metal, and a lifted shingle gets sealed properly rather than face-nailed.
Not every roof is worth repairing, and we will say so. If the shingles are at the end of their service life and the mat is brittle enough that walking the roof creates the next leak, a repair is money spent twice. What we will not do is talk you into a replacement because the repair is small. Plenty of what we look at is a forty-minute job, and that is the answer you get.
Repairs are quoted after the inspection, in writing, with photographs of the cause. If the roof is under a manufacturer warranty from a previous installation, tell us and we will look at whether the failure sits inside it before anybody spends anything.

Repairs, answered.
Can a small leak wait?
No. Water that gets past the shingle sits on the decking and in the insulation, and the damage grows in the dark for months before it reaches the ceiling. What is a boot replacement in October is often decking and drywall by March.
How do you find a leak you cannot see?
From the attic where there is access, because the staining on the underside of the decking points back uphill to the entry, and from the roof to confirm it. Where the attic is finished or inaccessible we work the roof methodically through the usual suspects instead.
Will you tell me if I need a replacement instead?
Yes, with the photographs to back it up. We will also tell you when the repair is genuinely enough, which is a lot of what we look at.
Do you repair roofs somebody else installed?
Yes. If there is a manufacturer or workmanship warranty from that install still running, say so and we will check whether the failure falls inside it before you pay for anything.
How much does a repair cost?
A pipe boot is at the small end; re-flashing a chimney or opening up and rebuilding a valley sits higher, and decking replacement moves it again. You get the number in writing after the inspection, with a photograph of the cause.
