Roof Repair
Leaks, missing shingles, and emergencies.
A lot of roofs do not need to be replaced. We find the source of the leak, fix it, and tell you honestly how much life the roof has left.

Roof repair
We find where the leak starts and fix it there.
Water can travel a long way before it shows up on a ceiling. The stain in your living room might start at a pipe boot, a chimney, or a valley several feet away. We trace the leak to where it starts.
Most leaks come from flashing, vents, pipe boots, and damaged or missing shingles. Those are usually fixable. When a roof is worn out, we tell you that a repair will not last, and we show you why.
We repair roofs no matter who installed them.
What we fix
Common roof repairs.
- Leak detection and repairWe trace the leak from the ceiling stain back to where the water gets in.
- Missing and damaged shinglesWe replace blown-off, cracked, and creased shingles and match them as closely as we can.
- Flashing repairChimney, wall, skylight, and valley flashing is where many leaks start.
- Pipe boots and ventsCracked rubber pipe boots and damaged vents are common, simple fixes.

Repair or replace?
An honest answer, with photos.
We show you what we found either way, and you decide. Here is how we usually think about it.
Usually a repair
- The damage is in one area
- The roof is less than about 15 years old
- The leak is at a pipe boot, vent, or chimney
- A few shingles blew off in a storm
Usually a replacement
- The roof is 20 years old or more
- Shingles are curling or cracking across the roof
- There are leaks in several places
- Hail damaged most of the slopes

Questions
Common questions.
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on what is wrong and how hard it is to reach. A cracked pipe boot costs far less than rebuilding chimney flashing. We inspect the roof for free and give you a written price before we do any work.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
If the damage is in one area and the rest of the roof is in good shape, a repair usually makes sense. If the roof is 20 years old or more, or has damage across many slopes, a replacement is usually the better use of your money. We show you photos and let you decide.
Do you repair roofs you did not install?
Yes. We repair roofs no matter who installed them.
What should I do if my roof is leaking right now?
Move valuables away from the leak, put a bucket under the drip, and call us at (785) 856-1173. Do not go on the roof during a storm. We respond quickly to tarp the roof and stop more damage.
Will new shingles match my old roof?
We match color and style as closely as we can. Older shingles fade, and some product lines are discontinued, so a repair can look slightly different at first. We tell you what to expect before we start.
