Roof Repair in Tempe
We track down where water is getting into your home, repair that one spot and hand you pictures of the damage before and after. If a claim might be involved, we record the damage carefully and tell you straight what we can and can't do for it.
Fix the problem, not the whole roof
Most leaks start at one weak spot. A cracked tile, a dried-out pipe boot, a split seam on a flat roof, or sealant that baked loose around an AC stand. Fixing that spot costs far less than a new roof, and a lot of roofs only need that.
We tell you straight when a repair is the right call and when it isn't. If the underlayment under your tile is worn out across the whole roof, patching one corner just moves the leak somewhere else. In that case we explain why and talk through roof replacement. The choice stays yours.
Insurance comes up a lot. We take dated photos, measure the damage and write a line-item estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We don't decide coverage and we won't tell you a claim will be paid. We give you clear records so the talk with your insurer starts from facts.
What a repair visit covers
- 01
Tracing the leak to its source
Water often runs along the deck before it drips into a room. We follow the stain back to where it starts instead of patching above the ceiling spot.
- 02
Tile and underlayment fixes
We lift tiles, replace cracked or slipped ones and repair the underlayment beneath. Concrete and clay tile are matched as closely as we can source them.
- 03
Shingle and flashing repairs
Replacing brittle or missing shingles, swapping out cracked pipe boots, and reworking flashing at walls, chimneys and skylights.
- 04
Flat and foam roof patches
Sealing split seams, repairing scuppers and patching foam that has blistered or worn through its coating. Full recoats are covered on our foam roofing and flat roofing pages.
- 05
Photos and a written estimate
You get pictures of what we found and what we fixed, plus an itemized estimate. Keep them for your records or for a claim.
- 06
Backed by our labor warranty
Repairs we make carry our 10-year labor warranty.
Questions about Roof Repair?
Call(480) 613-7195Signs your roof needs repair
Ceiling stains that grow
A brown ring that gets bigger after a monsoon storm means water is reaching the deck. The sooner it's fixed, the less drywall and insulation you replace.
Cracked or slipped tiles
A shifted tile leaves the underlayment open to sun and rain. That layer is what actually keeps water out.
Water sitting on a flat roof
Standing water a couple of days after rain points to a low spot or a clogged scupper. It wears coatings out fast.
Bare spots on shingles
Granules in the yard or dark, smooth patches on the roof mean the shingle is losing its protection.
Dried sealant and loose flashing
Caulk around vents, AC stands and parapet walls shrinks and cracks in the heat. Gaps you can see from a ladder are worth a look.
A dip in the roofline
A sag you can spot from the ground often means wet or rotted decking underneath. Stay off it and have it checked.
How a repair job runs
- 1
Your call
Tell us what you've noticed, like a stain, a drip or a missing tile, and roughly where it is. We get a few details from you and pick a day to come out.
- 2
Finding the cause
We walk the roof, find the source and take photos. If you have a claim open or are thinking about one, we note the date, location and extent of the damage.
- 3
Your written estimate
You get a line-item estimate and our plain opinion on how long a fix should last, or whether the roof has little life left in it. No pressure either way.
- 4
The repair
We protect plants and walkways, make the fix and photograph the finished work. Many repairs are done in a single visit.
- 5
Cleanup and walkthrough
We pick up debris and stray nails, then go over the before and after photos with you.
What moves the price of a repair
We price a repair after we've seen the roof. The cause of a leak decides the cost, so a number given blind is just a guess. Labor, materials and any deck work are listed separately on your estimate, so you can see where the money goes.
- Roof type
- Tile has to be lifted and reset by hand. Foam needs a compatible coating. Shingles are usually the quickest to work on.
- What's under the surface
- Wet decking or worn-out underlayment adds work we can only confirm once we open the area up. We show you photos before going further.
- How far the damage spreads
- One cracked tile is a small job. Water that traveled across several feet of deck is a bigger one.
- Pitch and access
- Steep slopes and two-story homes take more safety setup and more time.
- Matching materials
- Older or discontinued tile can take time to find. We tell you up front if a close match isn't available.
Roof repair questions
Will my insurance pay for this repair?
We can't promise that, and nobody but your insurer can. Coverage depends on your policy and on what caused the damage. Normal wear usually isn't covered. What we can do is give you clear photos and a detailed estimate so your adjuster has the facts.
How do I know if I should repair or replace?
When the trouble is limited to one spot and the roof around it is still solid, a repair is usually worth it. If the underlayment is breaking down everywhere or new leaks keep popping up, repairs stop paying off. We'll show you what we found and you make the call. Our roof replacement page covers that side.
Can you match my old tiles?
Usually close. We look for the same profile and color first. When a tile is no longer made, we sometimes pull matching tiles from a less visible part of the roof and use the new ones there.
What credentials do you hold for this work?
We're an Arizona KB-2 licensed contractor. That covers the repair work we do on your home, from a single cracked tile to flashing and flat roof patches.
Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. Repairs we make carry a 10-year labor warranty. Ask us about the details when you get your estimate, and we'll spell out what is and isn't part of it.
Do you work outside Tempe?
Yes. We handle roof repair across the area, including Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert. Ask when you call and we'll tell you if your home is in range.
