Common Roof Repair Services We Provide

1 Emergency Leak Repairs

Roof leaks don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24/7 emergency repair service ensures that when you discover a leak—whether it's during a heavy rainstorm, in the middle of the night, or on a holiday weekend—help is just a phone call away. We respond quickly to assess the situation, stop the leak, and prevent further water damage to your home's interior, insulation, and structural components.

Our emergency leak repair process includes immediate tarp installation if needed to prevent additional water intrusion, thorough inspection to identify the source of the leak, temporary repairs to stop water flow immediately, and permanent repair solutions scheduled at your convenience. We understand that roof leaks are stressful, which is why we work efficiently to restore your roof's integrity and your peace of mind.

2 Storm Damage Restoration

Northern Virginia experiences its share of severe weather, from summer thunderstorms with high winds and hail to winter ice storms and heavy snow. These weather events can cause significant roof damage, including missing or damaged shingles, broken flashing, punctures from falling branches, and structural damage from heavy loads or impacts.

Our storm damage restoration services include comprehensive damage assessment and documentation for insurance purposes, emergency tarping and securing to prevent further damage, complete repair or replacement of damaged roofing materials, and assistance with insurance claims including direct communication with adjusters. We've helped countless Northern Virginia homeowners navigate the storm damage repair process, from initial emergency response through final restoration and insurance settlement.

3 Shingle Replacement and Repair

Individual shingles can fail due to age, wind damage, improper installation, or manufacturing defects. Missing, cracked, curled, or broken shingles compromise your roof's water-shedding ability and should be addressed promptly. Our shingle replacement service includes removing damaged shingles, inspecting the underlying deck for damage, installing new shingles that match your existing roof, and sealing all edges and nail heads to ensure watertight integrity.

We maintain relationships with all major shingle manufacturers, allowing us to source exact or near-exact matches for your existing shingles, ensuring repairs blend seamlessly with your roof's appearance. Even if your shingle line has been discontinued, our extensive experience helps us find the closest possible match.

4 Flashing Repair and Replacement

Flashing—the metal components that seal roof penetrations and transitions—is one of the most common sources of roof leaks. Flashing around chimneys, vent pipes, skylights, valleys, and roof edges can fail due to improper installation, age, thermal expansion and contraction, or physical damage. Failed flashing allows water to seep under shingles and into your home's structure.

Our flashing repair service addresses these vulnerable areas with precision and expertise. We remove old or damaged flashing, repair any underlying deck damage, install new, properly sized flashing using premium materials, and seal all connections with quality roofing cement or sealant. Properly installed and maintained flashing is essential for long-term roof performance, and we ensure every flashing repair meets or exceeds industry standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair

How quickly can you respond to an emergency repair?

We offer 24/7 emergency service and typically respond to urgent calls within 1-2 hours during business hours and 2-4 hours after hours. For life-threatening situations or active leaks causing significant damage, we prioritize even faster response times.

Will my insurance cover roof repairs?

Most homeowner insurance policies cover roof damage from storms, falling trees, and sudden events. Gradual wear and tear or lack of maintenance typically isn't covered. We provide detailed documentation and work directly with insurance adjusters to help you maximize your claim.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

It depends on several factors: age of your roof, extent of damage, cost of repairs vs. replacement, and remaining lifespan. If repairs cost more than 30% of replacement cost, or if your roof is near the end of its expected lifespan, replacement often makes more financial sense. We provide honest assessments to help you make the best decision.

How long do roof repairs typically last?

When performed correctly with quality materials, roof repairs should last many years—often the remaining life of your roof. Our repairs come with workmanship warranties, and we use premium materials designed to match the performance characteristics of your existing roofing system.
