Lifted or Cracked Shingles
Wind gets under a tab, lifts it, and the next rain goes straight past it. Common along the coast after a blow.

Leaks and repairs
If a repair will do it,
we will say so.
A ceiling leak or a few blown-off shingles should not automatically mean buying a whole roof. Nobody here is paid on commission, so when a repair will secure your home and add several good years, that is what you will hear — and it is often thousands of dollars of difference.
What matters most is how long water has been getting in, because that is what damages the decking underneath. The sooner we look, the smaller the job usually is.
What we fix
Where the water is usually getting in
A leak rarely comes from the middle of a shingle. It comes from the joins.
Pipe Boots and Collars
The rubber collar around a vent pipe perishes in this sun long before the shingles do. It is one of the most common leaks we find.
Flashing and Valleys
Where two roof planes meet, and where the roof meets a wall or chimney. Water concentrates here, so failures here show up fast.
Chimney Seals
Old sealant shrinks and cracks. It looks like nothing from the ground and lets a surprising amount of water through.
Wind-Damaged Fascia
Trim pulled loose in a storm leaves the roof edge exposed, which is where wind uplift starts next time.
Maintenance and Tune-Ups
Small things caught early, before they turn into decking. Worth doing after any hard storm season.
If you have seen a stain
Damp spots and yellow rings
are not normal
A yellow-brown ring on a ceiling almost always means water is getting in above it, and by the time it shows it has usually been traveling through decking and insulation for a while. The stain often appears well away from the actual entry point, which is why it is worth having someone look rather than guessing.
Water coming in now?
Call us rather than fill out a form. An active leak needs a person on the phone, and we answer after hours when a storm puts water in your house.
