If you are looking for roof leak repair, read below as to what you should do, what some costs may be as well as the different types of roofs that benefit from a repair rather than a full replacement.
What To Do When You Get a Roof Leak
If you spot a leak in any part of your roof, you will need to have a professional examine it to determine the severity of the leak. While it may be tempting to fix the leak by looking up DIY methods, we highly recommend that you seek a qualified roofing contractor who can walk you through the steps that need to be done.
When roofing repair is needed, a trained professional will go around the roof to spot any signs of wear and damage. They will take a look at the flashing and shingles to determine if any of them need to be fully replaced or if a simple repair is all that is needed. Remember, your roof is exposed to the elements of wind, sun, rain and more 24 hours a day and it takes its toll.

Asphalt, Stone or Wood Shingle Repair
Shingles are the most common type of roofing material that usually requires one or two pieces to be replaced if any damage has been done during a storm or unusually high winds. Shingles can also be damaged if someone step on them incorrectly or if nails have been installed too tightly, they may cause tiles to pop up leaving the underlayment exposed. Wood shingles in particular are prone to deteriorate in time or attract insects or other animals who may damage the wood.
Flat roof repair:
Typically, the biggest problem with a flat roof is that water tends to pool on parts of the roof. This causes the flat roof to sag or for the under laying material to deteriorate overtime which can cause leaks.
Metal roof repair
With the longest lifespan and strongest materials you rarely need metal roof repair. However, damage to fasteners or loose seams do happen, but they can be addressed quite quickly by a professional.
Full roof replacement:
Roofs can be really expensive to fully replace. Because of this, we recommend that you have a licensed roofing professional provide you with alternatives that include roofing repair so that you can extend the life of your current roof. We will recommend the easy fix if it's the best option, but if you have an older roof, it might be a better idea to remove and replace it.

How To Get The Best Roof Repair Company
Once you realize you have a leaky roof, we highly recommend you do some research and find a reputable, experienced and knowledgeable roof repair company to check it out right away.
While it may be cheaper to use a general handyman who states they know how to repair a roof, they may miss important steps and end up causing more damage to the roof in the long run. This in turn will end up needing to be fixed down the line again and you will end up having to pay double the amount.
Look for the following qualities before choosing a professional.
- Qualifications: There are training and certifications for roofing professionals to ensure they provide the best possible care to homeowners. Ask what kind of experience and training they have had. Also see if they are part of NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association).
- Warranty: Do they offer a warranty on their repair or replacements? If so, how long is their work warranted for?
- Experience: How long have they been in business? Is roofing all that they have done or is it just something they do on the side? The more experience they have, the better they will be in being able to diagnose the issue and provide appropriate repairs.
- Referrals/Reviews: If possible, get as many referrals that you can from the roofing professional before you choose one.
