The stain sits downhill from the real leak.

On an older tile roof, the worn layer underneath is often the real problem.

1Pipe boots
The rubber collar around a plumbing vent. Sun splits it and water runs down the pipe.
2Wall and chimney flashing
The metal where a roof meets a wall. Once it pulls loose, rain runs in behind it.
3Valleys
Where two slopes meet. Water from both sides runs here, and debris holds it in place.
4Wind-lifted shingles
Still on the roof, but the seal is broken, so it no longer sheds water.
5Tile underlayment
The layer under the tile keeps water out. It wears thin while the tile on top still looks fine.
6Flat roof seams
Porches, additions and commercial roofs. Standing water works into open seams.
7Roof edge and fascia
Drip edge and fascia boards at the eaves. Wind-driven rain and wood rot show up here first.
8Skylights
The seal around the frame ages out. Leaks drip down the skylight opening.
Roof leak repair
Water rarely drips straight down. It travels first.
It gets in
At a pipe boot, flashing, a valley or worn underlayment
It travels
Down the underside of the roof deck or a rafter
It drips
Wherever something stops it. That's your stain.
So we start in the attic, follow the wet wood uphill, and photograph the real entry point from the roof.

Repair or replace
If it can be fixed, we fix it. If it can't, we show you why before we price anything bigger.
One problem area, and the rest of the roof has life left. We fix it and you're done.
The roof is aging but can stay on for now. We stop the leak and tell you roughly how long you have.
Leaks in several places or soft decking across a slope. Patching only buys time. Ask for a free roof estimate.

By roof type
Shingles take the hardest hit from Florida sun and wind. New ones can look a shade different on an older roof until they weather in.
The tile sheds water. The underlayment under it keeps the water out. Older tile can be hard to match, so you see the closest options before anything goes up.
Flat roofs leak where water sits. We patch and reseal, and tell you straight whether the roof has more repairs left in it.
We don't work on metal roofs or gutters.
Cost
It depends on what's wrong. Here's what moves the price. The inspection that gets you a real number is free.
A split pipe boot is small. Rotted decking under a valley is not.
Tile takes longer than shingle, and older tile can be hard to match.
One spot costs less than a whole slope.
Steep pitches and second stories add setup time.
A separate step from the permanent repair.
Soft wood sometimes shows only after the old material comes off. You hear about it before we go further.

You'll see Doug's name in a lot of our reviews. These days you'll also meet Greg, one of our owners, out on the job.
Doug provided a very fair estimate to fix my roof leak and had the work completed in a timely manner with his partner. I will use him again for my shingle roof.
JG Google review
He was thorough in his assessment and guided me through shingle and flashing choice, and details of the repairs. He checked in every day... He is a man of his word, and I would use him again.

Questions
It depends on what's causing it. Replacing a split pipe boot is a small job. Replacing rotted decking under a valley is a much bigger one, and tile takes longer to work around than shingle. The inspection is free, and you get the price before any work starts.
It depends on your policy and on what caused the leak. Policies generally treat sudden damage, like a storm tearing off shingles, differently from wear and age. We document the roof damage with photos and explain it in plain terms. Your insurance company makes the coverage decision.
More on how that works: roof insurance claims.
Water keeps following the same path. Over weeks it soaks the decking, the insulation and the drywall, and wet wood in Florida humidity is where mold starts. A repair that would have been one spot turns into decking replacement plus interior repairs.
Most leak sources are small and hard to see from below: a split pipe boot, a gap in the flashing, or worn underlayment under tile that looks fine. Water can also travel several feet before it shows on the ceiling. That's why we check the attic as well as the roof.
Yes. The phone is answered 24/7. If water is coming in, we can tarp or temporarily seal the area to keep the inside dry, then come back for the permanent repair.
