Leak tracing and roof repair across Alamance and Guilford County, North Carolina.
A ceiling stain almost never sits under the hole. Water gets in at a flashing joint, a nail pop, a cracked boot around a vent pipe or a lifted shingle, then runs down the decking or along a rafter until it finds somewhere to drop. That is why chasing the stain straight up is the most common way to spend money and still have a leak. The roof gets walked and the usual suspects get checked in order: the flashing where the roof meets a wall or chimney, the valleys where two planes dump into each other, the rubber boots around vent pipes that go hard and split with age, and the gutter line, because water that cannot get away backs up under the shingle edge. What you get back is a photograph of the actual detail that is failing and a straight answer about whether it is a repair or something bigger. Plenty of roofs that look finished from the ground need one flashing joint and a handful of shingles.
A published $150 visit: the roof inspected, the gutters cleaned and the small stuff fixed while it is still small.
03Gutters cleaned, downspouts cleared and the roof debris taken off, so water sheds instead of standing.
04Storm damage looked at and photographed, with anything actively letting water in dealt with first.
Most roofs that leak do not need replacing. They need the one bad detail found and fixed. So the first visit is a look, not a quote for a new roof.
