Roof Repair – Identifying the Solution to a Leak

A leaking roof is rarely something expected and never a pleasant occurrence for homeowners in the Dayton, Ohio area.  Certain times, the leak may be caused by the age of the roof or a recent weather-related event such as hail or high winds; however, one of the most prevalent causes is improper installation of the current roofing system. Leaks often indicate immediate roof repairs are necessary to prevent further damage.

Many homeowners believe that, because their roof is leaking, it will need to be replaced. But before you seek to replace it, consider this. We conduct honest assessments of your roof and typically conclude that roof repairs can be made rather than replacing the entire system.
