What we fix
Common Roof Problems We Repair Every Week
Most leaks in Venice come from a handful of weak spots. Here is what we find and fix most often.
Lifted or missing shingles
Strong winds off the ocean can lift shingle tabs. We reseal or replace them and match the color as closely as possible.
Failed flashing
Metal flashing around chimneys, walls and valleys rusts in salt air. New flashing closes the gaps where water sneaks in.
Worn vent boots
Rubber boots around plumbing vents dry out and split in the sun. It is a quick fix that stops many ceiling stains.
Split flat roof seams
Seams on flat sections open up after years of heat. We clean, prime and seal them, or patch with matching membrane.
Loose ridge caps
Ridge caps sit at the top of the roof and take the most wind. We reset them with fresh mortar or new caps.
Done right once
How We Make a Roof Repair Last
A patch that only covers the problem will fail again next winter. We fix the cause, not just the spot you can see.
- Find the source. We check the roof, the attic and the ceiling stain. For hard-to-find leaks we use our leak tracing service.
- Open it up. We remove damaged material until we reach solid, dry wood.
- Rebuild the layers. New underlayment, flashing and fasteners go in the same order as a new roof.
- Blend and test. We match the finish and water-test the area when it makes sense.
If we find soft decking, we will show you photos before we fix it. Rotted wood often needs sheathing and fascia repair to hold new nails.

Honest advice
When a Roof Repair Is Not the Best Choice
We like saving roofs. But sometimes a repair just moves your money into next year's leak. We will tell you straight if your roof is past fixing.
- The roof leaks in three or more places at once.
- Shingles curl and crack across most of the roof, not just one side.
- The wood under the roof is soft in many spots.
- You have paid for repairs on the same roof two years in a row.
In these cases, a full roof replacement often costs less over time. To keep a newer roof in good shape after a repair, ask about a yearly roof tune-up plan. Want to know who will be on your roof? Meet the people behind our work.

Repair questions
Roof Repair Questions We Hear Most
Simple answers to help you plan. Call us if your situation is different.
What affects the price of a roof repair?
The price depends on the roof type, how big the damaged area is, how steep the roof is and whether the wood below needs work. We always give you a written price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Can you match my old shingles or tiles?
In most cases, yes. We carry common colors and can source older clay tiles from salvage suppliers. When an exact match is not possible, we use pieces from a hidden part of the roof and place new ones there.
How long does a typical roof repair take?
Most repairs take a few hours. Larger tile or flat roof repairs may take one to two days. We will give you a time frame when we give you the price.
Will homeowners insurance pay for my roof repair?
Insurance often covers sudden damage, like a tree branch or a strong windstorm. It usually does not cover normal wear and tear. We provide photos and notes you can share with your insurance company.
