Roof Repair

Schedule a professional roof inspection as soon as possible. Hail damage is not always visible from the ground. Document any damage with photos and contact your insurance company to start the claims process.

Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, damp spots in the attic, missing or damaged shingles, and water pooling around the foundation. After heavy rain, check your attic for any signs of moisture.

As soon as possible. Even a small leak can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and ruined insulation within days. Temporary measures like a tarp can protect your home until a permanent repair is completed.

Flashing is metal sheeting installed around roof penetrations like vents, chimneys, and skylights to prevent water intrusion. It fails due to age, expansion and contraction from temperature changes, and improper original installation.

Insurance typically covers damage from sudden events like storms, hail, and fallen trees. It generally does not cover damage from normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or gradual deterioration.

A quality repair can last 5 to 15 years depending on the type of repair, materials used, and the overall condition of your roof. Repairs to newer roofs tend to last longer than patches on aging roofs.

While minor repairs are possible for experienced DIYers, roof work is dangerous and improper repairs can void your warranty or cause further damage. Professional roofers have the safety equipment and expertise to do the job correctly.
