The first step in roof leak repair is to inspect the roof carefully. The identification of factors like water stains or saturated insulation. Then, we use different methods to trace it back at the source. We map the location of the leakage or wet areas. We look horizontally up the roof slope and inspect for potential entry points. We spray water on the roof to quickly detect the entry point.

Once we have identified the source of the leak, the sealant is applied. We offer effective and precise solutions to each problem depending on its nature. We replace damaged flashings, remove and replace defective vent boots, caulk, tar, and replace missing or broken shingles.

Technically, it all depends on what type of damage has occurred. All types of roof repairs can be done by trained roofers.

Insurance companies cover roof repairs. However, they must follow strict standards regarding what claims are approved and rejected. Most insurance companies review the following criteria: current roof condition, roofing materials used and damage. Here are some common reasons that insurance companies will deny claims for roof repairs.

The Roof is Too Old– No matter how high-quality the materials were, how much maintenance was performed and how well-constructed the installation, roofs are still subject to wear and tear. They will eventually break down, decay and become unusable. Because of the high risk of damage, insurance companies often refuse to cover roofs older than 20 years. Roof Damage - Owner’s Responsibility - Like any insurance policy, roof damage that is caused by the owner’s negligence is unacceptable. Examples of such scenarios include large tree branches or fallen trees that fell from your roof. They might argue that the tree was not properly maintained and trimmed, which is what caused the damage. They may also be unable to accept pre-existing damage like minor leaks that have become a bigger problem. Roofing Material is Not Covered. - Not all roofing materials are covered under insurance, especially those with high fire- and water-damage potential, like wooden shingles. The type of damage is not covered - Insurance providers follow specific policies regarding insurance claims that include the type of damages. These are acceptable reasons to damage. But, remember that there is always a chance it will get rejected. - Lightning and natural catastrophes - Smoke and fire - Damage to aircrafts and vehicles - Deliberate destruction - Snow and ice buildup - Hail, wind, and water damage.

Your decision on whether to have your roof replaced or repaired will depend on you. These are some helpful tips that can help you make an informed decision on whether to replace or repair your roof.

• The age of the roof. A roof repair is a good decision if it is relatively new and has not reached its warranty. A roof replacement is an option if your roof is close to 20 years old and is near the end of its warranty.
• The area in need of repair. - If there are only a few damaged sections, then a repair is recommended. If the roof is 50% or more damaged, it is wise to consider a replacement.
• The cost for roof repair vs. roof replacement. If the cost for repair is nearly the same as that of replacing your roof, then you should have it replaced. It is not only practical but it will also save you more money in the end.
• Water damage to the roof deck. - If there are signs of water damage to your roof deck, you should have it replaced. Temporary repairs, such as shingling them over, will not fix the problem. Do you have the luxury or time to do it yourself? A repair is the best solution if you have to be out of town in a matter of days. It is quick and temporary to stop water leakages.

A roof replacement is better for long-term solutions if you do not plan on moving. While it’s more expensive than repairs, it will help you avoid costly roof repairs down the road.
