## Price

Pricing varies by scope — no published range; free on-site assessment.

## What's included

- On-site diagnosis that traces a leak to its actual entry point, not just the visible interior stain
- Written price before work starts, with the repair-vs-replace call made honestly at the inspection
- Flashing, boot, and valley repair — the most common real leak source on an otherwise sound Tacoma roof
- Wind-lifted or missing shingle replacement matched to existing material where possible
- Deck spot-repair where a leak has caused localized rot, more common on Tacoma's pre-1930 North Slope and Stadium District housing stock
- Time-stamped photo documentation of the damage, useful if you plan to file an insurance claim
- A permit check when a repair crosses into re-roofing territory — most standalone repairs don't trigger one under City of Tacoma rules
- A check for whether a historic-district property's repair needs Landmarks Preservation Commission sign-off before we start

## Process

01. **Diagnose the leak** - We trace the water's actual path, which is rarely directly above the interior stain, and check the deck from the attic side where access allows.
02. **Written repair price** - You get a specific price for the actual repair needed, plus an honest note if the roof's overall condition means replacement is the better spend.
03. **Repair the roof** - Flashing, shingles, or deck sections repaired to manufacturer spec, matched to existing material where a full section replacement isn't warranted.
04. **Verify and document** - We confirm the leak is resolved and hand you photo documentation of the damage and repair, useful for insurance records.

## When it's needed

- A ceiling stain that appears after a storm but not during normal rain
- One or two shingles visibly lifted or missing after high wind off Puget Sound
- A flashing point around a chimney, vent, or skylight showing daylight or staining
- A leak that returns after a previous patch
- Visible granule loss in gutters after a windstorm
- Soft spots or sagging near a valley or penetration on an older North Slope or Stadium District home

## FAQ

**How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?**

If the roof's overall material is still within its service life and the damage is isolated — a section of lifted shingles, one failed flashing point — a repair is usually the right call. If the roof is already near end-of-life or the damage is widespread, a repair just delays a replacement you'll need soon anyway. We tell you honestly which situation you're in at the inspection. See our repair-vs-replace guide.

**Can you repair storm damage quickly after a Puget Sound windstorm?**

Most repair jobs can be scheduled within a few business days of the inspection, faster during active windstorm season (Nov-Feb) when we prioritize active leaks. Call for current availability.

**Do you repair roofs in North Slope or Stadium-Seminary historic districts?**

Yes — most standalone repairs don't require a permit or design review, but we confirm whether your specific fix crosses into re-roofing territory, which can trigger both, before we start.
