What best describes your home?

Different buildings need different crews, so this is the first thing a roofer asks.

Nothing is charged and nothing is booked.

Before you let anybody on the roof

The things worth pinning down on a repair job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.

  • What it would cost to replace instead, so you can compare like for like
  • Whether matching material is still available in your colour
  • Whether the surrounding material has enough life left to be worth tying into
  • Where the water is actually getting in, not just where it is showing up
  • What the repair does to any remaining manufacturer warranty

A good repair visit starts in the attic, not on the roof. Daylight through the deck, wet insulation, and rust tracks down a nail shank all say more than a walk on the shingles.

Leaks rarely start where the stain is. Water travels along the underside of the deck and down a rafter before it drops, which is why a repair that goes straight to the discoloured patch usually fails twice.

Ask directly: how much life is left in the covering? A contractor who will give you a straight number, and say why, is worth more than one who is cheapest.

Locally

Close behind that: the autumn offshore winds, which find anything already loose. These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.

About repair here

What warranty should I expect?

Ask for both in writing: the material warranty from the manufacturer and the workmanship warranty from the contractor. The second one is the one that matters in year three, and it is only as good as the company behind it.

Do I have to hire anyone?

Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

Should I take the cheapest quote?

Not automatically. Put the quotes side by side on layers, not on totals — underlayment, ice-and-water, drip edge, valley treatment, ventilation, decking allowance, warranty. Cheap usually means less of those, not the same roof for less money.

It is leaking right now. What do I do?

Contain the water, photograph everything, and get the request in marked as an emergency. A tarp is the right first job. The permanent repair is a separate conversation and a separate price.

It is free, and nothing obliges you to hire anyone.
