Roof Repair

Find the leak.
Fix the cause.

Leaks, storm damage, lifted shingles, failed flashing. We trace the water to its source before we quote — so you pay to fix the problem, not chase it.

Water lies about where it's coming from

A stain on your bedroom ceiling can start at a parapet crack fifteen feet away. Water travels along joists, membranes, and brick before it shows itself. Most "repairs" fail because someone sealed where the stain was, not where the water got in. We inspect the whole path — roof field, flashings, masonry, gutters — and show you photos of the actual entry point before we touch anything.

The repairs we see every week in DC

Ponding and seam failures on flat rowhouse roofs. Flashing pulled away from chimneys and party walls. Shingles lifted by a storm rolling up the Potomac. Scuppers and box gutters clogged until water finds the living room. Nail pops, cracked pipe boots, slipped slates. Different roofs, same story: small failures that turn expensive when ignored.

A repair caught early is a few hundred dollars. The same leak after two years of soaking insulation and joists is a different conversation. If your roof is telling you something, call.

24/7 emergency response

If water is coming in right now, we answer the phone — nights and weekends included. We'll get a tarp or emergency patch on fast, document everything for your insurance if a storm caused it, and quote the permanent fix once it's dry.

Roof Repair questions, answered

Yes — 24/7 across Washington DC. Call (202) 531-6114 and we'll get an emergency tarp or patch on quickly, then quote the permanent repair once things are dry.
We document the damage with photos, write a detailed scope, and work with your adjuster's timeline. We don't inflate claims — we make sure the real damage is on paper.
Almost always. A few hundred dollars on a flashing or seam repair routinely prevents thousands in deck, insulation, and interior damage. We'll tell you if the roof is too far gone for a repair to be honest money.
