Pipe boots and vent collars
The commonest leak on any asphalt roof. The rubber perishes long before the shingles do and the replacement is an hour's work.
Roof Repair in Voorhees Township, NJ
A great many coverings come off while they still had a decade in them. Where the mat is sound and the laps are sealed, one day of work buys years at a small fraction of a tear-off.

In short
Repair is the usual answer
A covering fails in small places long before it fails as a whole. A split boot, a valley worn thin, step flashing that was never fitted properly behind a wall — each of those causes a leak while the other nine-tenths of the roof is perfectly serviceable.
What is covered
The repairs that come up most
Flashing at walls and chimneys
Step and counter flashing re-set or renewed, including the ones that were originally caulked in place and are now failing exactly as caulk always does.
Valleys
Worn metal or open valleys reworked, and the shingle cut lines re-laid so water runs down the centre rather than under the cut.
Tabs, ridge cap and seal strips
Lifted, creased or missing tabs replaced and re-sealed, ridge cap renewed where wind has taken it, and the windward rakes brought back down.
The honest limit
When repair stops being the right answer
When the mat has gone brittle across whole slopes, when the granule loss is general rather than local, or when there are already two layers up there, a repair is money spent twice. The findings will say so in those words, and the replacement price will sit beside it so you can compare them.

The rest of what this crew does
Roof Inspections
An hour on the slopes and a second half-hour underneath, ending in a written list of what is wrong and what merely looks it.
Read the page →Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair
Bruising and wind damage found by hand on the slope, documented properly, and repaired before the next season opens it up.
Read the page →Roof Leak Repair
Chasing a drip uphill from the mark on your plaster to the opening that let it in, usually some distance away.
Read the page →Roof Replacement
A full tear-off to the deck, every board walked, and the covering rebuilt in order from ice-and-water up to the ridge.
Read the page →Siding
The wall under the roofline checked, patched or re-clad by the same people who are already working above it.
Read the page →Gutters & Downspouts
Rainwater taken clear of the fascia and the foundation, which is half of what stops a wall quietly rotting behind the gutter.

Find out which it is
The inspection tells you whether this is a repair roof or a replacement roof, and it is free either way.
