Roof Repair

Most roof problems start small — a few missing shingles, a failed flashing, a vent that was never sealed right. We find the actual source of the problem and fix it, with photos of what we find and a free estimate.

Finished home with a new dark asphalt shingle roof — A sound shingle roof — most repairs are about keeping a roof like this one doing its job.

What we fix

Common roof repairs

These are the repairs we see most on DC homes:

Missing or damaged shinglesWind and age lift, crack, and tear shingles off. Replacing them promptly keeps water out of the layers below.

Flashing failuresFlashing seals the roof where it meets chimneys, walls, and valleys. When it pulls away or cracks, water gets in at the joints.

Vent and pipe leaksVent pipe boots and exhaust vents crack with age and sun. A small seal failure here can look like a big roof problem inside.

Valley wearValleys carry the most water on a pitched roof, so they wear first. Worn valley flashing or shingles need attention before the next heavy rain.

Storm damageHigh wind, falling branches, and hail damage shingles and flashing. We repair the damage and show you photos of everything we find.

Finding the leak

We trace it to the source

The stain on your ceiling is rarely directly under the leak — water travels along decking and framing and shows up somewhere else. So we inspect the whole roof system, not just the wet spot: shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, and gutters. We show you photos of what we find so you can see the problem yourself before deciding anything. The free inspection settles whether a repair will hold or whether the roof is telling you something bigger.

Repair or replacement?

When a repair is enough — and when it is not

A repair is the right call when the damage is localized and the rest of the roof is still sound — it stops the problem now and buys the roof years more life. Replacement is the right call when the damage is widespread, leaks keep returning after repairs, or the roof is at the end of its service life. If a repair will do the job, we say so instead of selling you a roof you do not need. Not sure? Take the repair-or-replace quiz or get a free inspection.
