Roof Repair

A roof repair should start with a clear description of the symptom and safe photos from ground level. A roofer can assess the covering, flashings and drainage details involved.

When to ask for help

  • There is a leak, displaced roofing material, damaged flashing or visible deterioration.
  • A storm, falling branch or nearby work has caused concern about the roof.

What to include in your job post

  • Describe where water appears inside and attach photos of both the ceiling symptom and roof from the ground.
  • State the roof material if known and any recent repairs or weather event.

What can affect the scope

  • The source of a leak may be separate from where it appears inside.
  • Roof height, pitch, access and hidden damage can affect the repair method.
