roof leak repair for Alton homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Alton homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
Not every Alton roof needs the biggest job on the sheet. When we quote roof leak repair we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold, whether doing one section will do, or whether you are genuinely past that — and we would rather do the smaller job well.
Metal is our specialty, so if roof leak repair on your Alton home opens the door to standing seam or a panel roof, we will price that right alongside the shingle option and let you compare the real numbers side by side.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
What comes up on just about every estimate for a job like this.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Alton homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Most leak repairs on a Alton home are a few hundred to around fifteen hundred dollars, depending on what has to be opened up and whether decking underneath has gone soft. The estimate is free.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Alton ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Alton home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"Tore off two layers of old shingles and found rotten decking underneath. They showed me the boards, told me what the change would cost, and let me decide before going ahead."
