Need roof leak repair in California? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most California homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
Not every California roof needs the biggest job on the sheet. When we quote roof leak repair we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold, whether doing one section will do, or whether you are genuinely past that — and we would rather do the smaller job well.
Metal is our specialty, so if roof leak repair on your California home opens the door to standing seam or a panel roof, we will price that right alongside the shingle option and let you compare the real numbers side by side.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Yes, and it is included. A California roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a California home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on California homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Most leak repairs on a California home are a few hundred to around fifteen hundred dollars, depending on what has to be opened up and whether decking underneath has gone soft. The estimate is free.
Real feedback from homeowners we have worked for.
"Tore off two layers of old shingles and found rotten decking underneath. They showed me the boards, told me what the change would cost, and let me decide before going ahead."
"They replaced the soffit and fascia the squirrels had chewed through and closed everything back up tight. No more scratching in the attic at night."
"They roofed our addition and tied in the porch that runs off it. One crew, one number to call, and every line of it matched up."
