Leaks Flashing Shingles

Fix the cause, not just the stain.

A stain on the ceiling after a rain usually points to a small failure higher up on the roof.

The water you see inside is rarely sitting under the spot where it got in.

Repair work is mostly detective work, so we start at the stain and trace uphill from there.

Florida sun cracks rubber pipe boots and dries out sealant, and both are common leak sources.

Lifted, creased and missing shingles are replaced, and the nails and sealing around them get checked too.

We specialize in residential roof repairs for leaks and weather damage.

A Google reviewer says Omar was quick to look at the problem and fix the roof, with constant communication.

You get photos of the problem and a plain answer on whether a repair is enough.

What is included Roof Repair

How we handle roof repair.

  • 01

    Free inspection first

    We find where the water gets in and show you photos before any repair work begins.

  • 02

    Leak tracing

    We follow the stain uphill past the obvious spot, because the entry point is often higher up.

  • 03

    Pipe boots and vents

    Cracked rubber boots and worn vent seals are replaced, not just smeared over with sealant.

  • 04

    Flashing repairs

    Loose or corroded flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys is reset or replaced and sealed.

  • 05

    Shingle repairs

    Lifted, creased and missing shingles are replaced, and the area around them is checked for more.

  • 06

    Soft spot repairs

    Soft decking is cut out and replaced so the shingles sit on solid wood again.

Your options

How big is the repair?

Repairs come in three sizes, and the right one depends on how the water is getting in.

One failed part like a pipe boot is a short job, while a hidden leak takes more tracing.

When leaks keep showing up in new places, the roof itself may be worn out, and we will say so.

Photos of what we found go with the answer, so you can see the reason behind the advice.

  • Small repairA cracked pipe boot, a few lifted shingles or a short run of loose flashing.
  • Leak tracingA stain inside and no obvious cause outside. We work uphill from the stain to find the entry point.
  • Section repairOne slope with several damaged areas. Repair can still make sense if the rest of the roof is sound.
Worth knowing

Water can run along the decking before it drips through, so a stain may sit feet from the entry point.

Questions Straight answers

Questions about roof repair?

Still unsure? Call (813) 461-0751, Monday to Friday 9 to 5, and ask Omar.

Repair or new roof: how do I know which?

One leak on a roof with life left usually calls for a repair.

Repeat leaks, bald patches and worn shingles across the whole roof point toward replacement.

We show you photos and tell you which one fits.

What causes most roof leaks in Florida?

Cracked rubber pipe boots, dried-out sealant, loose flashing and lifted shingles are common.

Florida sun ages these parts, and summer thunderstorms with wind-driven rain find the weak ones.

Can you fix a leak I only see inside?

Yes. Call (813) 461-0751 and tell us where the stain is and when it shows up.

We work from the roof and the attic side to find where the water gets in, and we show you photos of it.

What should I do before you come out?

Photograph the stain, note when it appears and set a bucket under any drip.

Please stay off the roof, since wet shingles are slippery and a fall is the real danger.

We check the roof for you.
