Roof repair
Leaks do not keep office hours and they rarely stay small. We diagnose the actual entry point, stop the water, and then fix the cause rather than the symptom — for commercial and residential roofs alike.
What we repair
- Active leaksTraced to the entry point, not just patched where it shows
- Storm and wind damageLifted shingles, displaced tile, torn membrane
- Flashing & penetrationsChimneys, skylights, vents, HVAC curbs, pitch pans
- Seams & membrane failuresOpen laps, punctures, blistering on single-ply
- Drainage problemsPonding water, blocked or undersized drains
- Emergency dry-insTemporary protection while a permanent scope is built
Why the leak is almost never where the stain is
This is the single most useful thing to understand about roof leaks. Water enters at a failure point, then follows the path of least resistance — along a rafter, across the top of a ceiling, down a wall cavity — before it finally shows itself. A stain in the middle of a room can easily originate ten feet away at a vent boot.
Which is why chasing the visible symptom wastes money. We work backwards from the interior evidence to the roof detail that is actually failing, and photograph the whole chain so you can see the reasoning rather than take it on trust.
The usual suspects
On low-slope commercial roofs, penetrations and drainage cause most failures — rooftop equipment curbs, conduit supports, pitch pans that have dried out, and drains that cannot cope with a Central Florida downpour. On residential roofs it is more often valleys, vent boots that have cracked in the UV, and flashing where the roof meets a wall or chimney.
What you get
- Photographs of the failure point and the surrounding condition
- A clear explanation of the cause, not just the fix
- A written scope with real line items
- An honest read on whether repair or replacement is the better spend
- Documentation suitable for an insurance claim, where relevant
If a repeated leak turns out to be a symptom of a roof at the end of its life, we will say so and point you at commercial or residential replacement options rather than selling you another patch.
Common questions
Call (407) 495-4151 and say it is an active leak — those get prioritized ahead of routine inspections. For commercial buildings we can usually get someone up to dry-in the affected area and stop water entering while we scope the permanent repair.
Usually, yes. Water rarely enters where it appears inside — it travels along decking, joists and insulation before it drops. We trace it back from the interior stain to the actual entry point, which is most often a penetration, a flashing detail or a failed seam rather than the open field of the roof.
That is the honest question and it deserves an honest answer. If the roof is sound and the failure is localised, a repair is the right call and will hold. If the system is at the end of its life and you are patching a third leak in a year, repairs stop being economical. We will tell you which situation you are in, with photographs.
Yes. Most of our repair work is on roofs installed by someone else. We do not need to have built it to fix it, though if the roof is still under a manufacturer warranty we will flag that first — it may be worth pursuing before paying for a repair.
A temporary measure to stop water entering while conditions or scheduling prevent a permanent repair — typically tarping or sealing the affected area. It buys time and prevents the interior damage from compounding. It is not a fix, and we will not bill it as one.
Yes. If the damage looks storm-related, we photograph conditions and prepare a line-item scope your carrier can review. See storm damage for how that process runs.
