Roofing

Leaks, missing shingles, storm damage, full replacements.

What to look for

What to look for

  • Water stains on the ceiling, especially after rain
  • Shingles in the yard or granules piling up in the gutters
  • Daylight through the attic boards, or damp insulation
  • Shingles that are curling, cracked or missing in patches
Call a pro when

Call a pro when

  • Any leak you can't find from the attic
  • Anything after hail or high wind (insurance may be involved)
  • Any roof you'd need to climb onto

Need a pro for this?

What we'll ask you first
  1. Is water coming in right now?
  2. Was there hail or wind recently?
  3. How old is the roof, roughly?

Have these ready and the call takes two minutes.

Do it yourself

Rather do it yourself?

Seal a small flashing or nail-pop leak

Steps
  1. Find the leak from inside the attic on a dry day and mark it with chalk.
  2. From a ladder, not the roof, clear debris around the spot.
  3. Apply roofing sealant over the exposed nail head or flashing seam.
  4. Check inside after the next rain. If it's still wet, call a pro.
