What sits under a shingle.

  1. Find the layer that failedMost leaks start in flashing or underlayment, not the shingle you see.
  2. Repair it at the sourceWe rebuild the layers in order instead of covering them with caulk.
  3. Seal and matchNew shingles matched to the roof as closely as the product line allows.

What we repair most.

Missing or lifted shingles

Wind and hail lift tabs; we replace them and seal the course around them.

Flashing at chimneys and walls

Most leaks start where the roof meets something. New step and counter flashing fixes it.

Pipe boots and vents

Cracked rubber boots around plumbing vents are a common, quick fix.

Valleys and low spots

Where two slopes meet, water runs fast. Worn valleys get new shield and shingles.

How we fix a leak.

Questions we hear.

Is it worth repairing an old roof?

If the damage is local and the rest of the roof is sound, yes. If shingles are failing everywhere, we will tell you a replacement costs less over time.

Can you come out the same day?

Call 412-212-3212 and we will schedule the soonest visit we can. For active leaks we tarp first and repair once it is dry.

Do you repair flat roofs too?

Yes. See our flat roofing page for TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen repairs.
