THE SHORT ANSWER
Do I need a roof repair or a new roof?
Most leaking roofs need a repair, not a replacement. If the problem is in specific spots — a valley, flashing at a wall or chimney, a cracked pipe collar, a few broken tiles or shingles — a targeted repair fixes it for far less than a new roof. We inspect, photograph what we find, and give you both options when both make sense.
Roof repairs we do
Tile roof repair
Our specialty. We lift the tiles, replace worn underlayment and flashing, and put your original tiles back.
Shingle roof repair
Leaks, missing or lifted shingles, nails backing out, and flashing around vents and rooftop units.
Flat roof repair
Patches, drains, pipe penetrations and seams on low-slope roofs.
What causes most roof leaks?
On tile roofs it’s usually the underlayment under the tiles — once it wears out, water that gets past the tiles reaches the wood. Clogged valleys and blocked flashing channels make it worse. On shingle roofs we often find nails backing out, failed flashing, or HVAC units set on top of the shingles instead of being flashed into the roof.
How fast can you fix a roof leak?
Inspections are usually available within a few days, and we answer the phone 24/7. After you approve the quote, most repairs are scheduled 2–4 weeks out. If it’s leaking now, once you approve the repair, we tarp the roof for free until we’re back.
What warranty comes with a roof repair?
Most of our repairs come with a 2–10 year workmanship warranty, depending on the repair.

Skylight leak on a shingle roof in Rocklin
The shingles and underlayment around the skylight had failed. We took the area down to the deck and rebuilt it with new ice and water shield.
Failed valley patch on a shingle roof in Elk Grove
Another company had spread mastic over a leaking valley. We installed new underlayment, new metal valley flashing and color-matched shingles.
Tile roof chimney leak and dry rot in Elk Grove
Clogged channels at the chimney pushed water under the tiles. We replaced the rotted wood, the underlayment and the battens.
Tile roof valleys rebuilt in Folsom (95630)
Where the water got in: the valley metal was too narrow, so debris clogged it and water ran under the tiles, rotting the battens and plywood. The fix: two valleys rebuilt with five-crown valley metal, a second layer of 30 lb felt and water-flow battens, new plywood and about 8 ft of barge rafter, plus flash band on the hips and ridges. More Folsom jobs.
Rooftop HVAC leak on a shingle roof in Sacramento
Old, improper repairs around the HVAC unit were letting water in. We rebuilt and flashed the area around the unit.
Tile roof valley leak in Lincoln (95648)
A leak over the garage came from a clogged valley, and the underlayment and battens under it were wearing out. The fix: the valley rebuilt with new 30 lb underlayment, flow-through battens and 30-inch 5-rib valley metal, 10 broken tiles replaced, the other valleys, wall areas and chimney cleaned out, and flash band in the repair area. More Lincoln jobs.
Tile roof section repair in El Dorado Hills (95762)
This tile roof needed a 300 sq ft section redone. We removed the tiles and battens, installed new 30 lb felt and upgraded flow-through battens, and put the original tiles back. One sheet of decking with dry rot was replaced once the roof was open, 20 broken tiles were replaced, and flash band went under the hip and ridge caps in the repair area. More El Dorado Hills jobs.

Roof repair FAQ
Is the inspection and estimate free?
Yes. We inspect the roof, show you photos of what we find, and give you a written quote the same day.
Can you repair a tile roof without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the tiles, fix the underlayment and flashing underneath, and reinstall your original tiles.
Do you repair shingle roofs too?
Yes — leaks, flashing, lifted or missing shingles, nails backing out, and leaks around rooftop units.
What areas do you serve?
Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Elk Grove, Folsom, Citrus Heights and the surrounding area. See all service areas.
How much does a roof repair cost in Sacramento?
Most of our roof repairs cost about $2,000–$3,000. Bigger problems, especially ones that have been left alone for a while, average around $5,500. The inspection is free, and you'll get photos and a written quote the same day, so you know the price before any work starts.
Why does my roof only leak in heavy or wind-driven rain?
Heavy and wind-driven rain push water into places a light rain never reaches. On tile roofs, water gets in through a cracked or slipped tile, or backs up from clogged valleys and drainage channels. It runs under the tiles, wears through the underlayment and reaches the attic. On shingle roofs, it's usually missing or wind-lifted shingles, exposed nails, or small holes. On either type, worn flashing at walls, chimneys, skylights and pipe collars is another common entry point. A leak that only shows up in storms is still an early warning, and it's cheaper to fix before the wood underneath starts to rot.
What if it rains in the middle of my roof job?
We plan around the forecast. On replacements, we make sure the roof has at least its new underlayment on before rain arrives, which keeps the water out, and we put clear tarps over any open areas when needed. If we know rain is coming before we can get the roof covered, we don’t start the replacement. On repairs, we open only the area we’re fixing and close it back up the same day.
Will homeowners insurance pay for my roof?
Only if the damage was sudden: storm, wind, a fallen tree or another accident. Insurance doesn't cover wear and tear, so a roof that leaks because it's old or the underlayment has worn out usually isn't covered. Check your policy or ask your agent what yours covers. If you've chosen us for the work, we'll help you through the claim.
Do I need to be home while you work on my roof?
No. Most people are at work during the job, and some are even on vacation and come back when it’s done. To get ready: move cars out of the driveway, cover anything in the garage or attic you don’t want dust on, and take pictures and loose items off the walls, since vibration from walking on the roof can loosen them. Leave the side and back gates open so we can clean up properly. If you have a pool, cover it, because debris can blow in.
How long does a roof repair or replacement take?
Small repairs are usually done in one day, an average medium-sized repair takes 2–3 days, and extensive repairs can take up to 5 days. Most shingle roof replacements take 3–5 days, depending on the size of the roof. A tile roof replacement takes about 6 to 9 working days (see why). We’ll give you the timeline with your quote.
What if my roof is leaking right now?
Put a bucket under the leak to limit the damage. For a bad leak, call your insurance company, which can send an emergency crew to tarp the leaking area. Once it’s tarped, you can get estimates and choose the right repair without rushing to hire the first contractor you reach. If the leak is manageable and you can wait for us, we’ll inspect it, and once you approve the repair, we’ll tarp the roof for free until the work is done. We don’t offer tarping as a standalone service.
Can I finance a roof repair?
Yes, and repairs too. Financing is available for repairs and replacements on residential projects, usually with a $1,000 minimum. Options include $0 down with low monthly payments or a 12-month no-interest option. See our financing page.
