Repairs
Sometimes the answer is a repair
We do repairs. And sometimes, when someone calls us out for a new roof, we tell them they don’t need one yet.
Ten good years left
A homeowner called us out for a roof estimate. She’d already had a couple of people tell her she needed a new one.
Andy went up. The roof was about five years old. Three nails had gone in crooked when it was put on and had worked their way up. He pried them out, sealed the shingles back down, sealed a pinhole in the gutter while he was there, took pictures of all of it, and came down and told her she had at least ten good years left.
That visit, in numbers
- 5
- years old: the roof she was told to replace
- 3
- nails that had worked their way up
- 1
- pinhole in the gutter, sealed while he was there
- 10+
- good years left
When it isn’t the roof
Water comes in for more reasons than shingles: a window, flashing, siding, a gutter backing up.
If we open something up and find the leak isn’t the roof, we’ll show you what it is, with pictures, before we talk about fixing anything.
A straight answer
- If you need a new roof, we’ll tell you.
- If a repair will do, we’ll tell you that instead.
- If the roof has years left, we’ll tell you that too, with pictures, and go home.
