Roofing Repair and Replacement

Roofing work considered during the walkthrough

• Missing, lifted, cracked, or visibly damaged roofing material
• Visible metal flashing, vents, valleys, and places where the roof meets a wall
• Evidence of active or previous water entry shared by the property owner
• Whether a repair or larger replacement makes more sense

Repair or replacement

A repair may make sense when the problem is limited to one area and the rest of the roof is still in good condition. Replacement may make more sense when wear is widespread, leaks keep returning, or a repair would leave too many weak joints.

The estimate identifies the known work and any assumptions based on visible conditions. If removal exposes damaged decking or another concealed issue, that condition is documented and discussed before additional work is authorized.

Before roofing work starts

Weather, material delivery, safe access, and the occupied areas below the work all affect scheduling. Property owners should identify attic access, previous leak locations, exterior electrical service, and any areas that need special protection.

• Move vehicles and fragile items away from active work zones
• Secure wall hangings and items sensitive to vibration
• Keep children and pets clear of the work area
• Confirm the material and written list of work before scheduling
