What Does Roof Repair Include?
Roof repair covers a wide range of fixes—from a single missing shingle to extensive water damage around a chimney. We handle all types: asphalt shingle, metal, tile, slate, and flat roofs. Every repair starts with a thorough inspection to identify the root cause, not just the symptom. For example, a ceiling stain might come from a cracked vent boot, a damaged flashing seal, or a nail pop. We find it, explain it, and fix it.
How Much Does Roof Repair Cost in Atlanta?
Costs vary by the scope of work. A simple shingle replacement runs $150–$400. Flashing repairs around a chimney or skylight range $300–$800. Storm damage repairs—like tarping and temporary patching—start at $500, with full repairs from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on the square footage affected. We give you a line-item estimate so you see exactly where your money goes.
What’s the Step-by-Step Repair Process?
Step 1: Free Inspection. We climb up, check the roof deck, shingles, flashing, vents, and gutters. We also inspect the attic for signs of moisture or rot.
Step 2: Detailed Quote. You get a written estimate with photos of the damage. We explain what’s urgent and what can wait.
Step 3: Scheduling. Most repairs are done within 5–7 business days. Emergency tarping within 24 hours.
Step 4: The Repair. Our crew removes damaged materials, replaces underlayment if needed, installs new shingles or flashing, and seals everything with manufacturer-approved caulk. We clean up with magnets and a broom.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough. We show you the finished work, answer questions, and provide a 5-year workmanship warranty.
What Materials Do You Use?
We use GAF and CertainTeed shingles—Timberline HDZ and Landmark series. For metal repairs, we match the existing gauge and profile (standing seam, corrugated, or R-panel). Flashing is 26-gauge galvanized steel or aluminum. We also carry Owens Corning Duration shingles for color matching. Every material comes with a manufacturer warranty.
How Long Does a Roof Repair Take?
A small repair—one or two shingles—takes 2–4 hours. A medium job, like replacing a section of flashing and a few shingles, takes a full day. Large repairs (e.g., replacing 20+ shingles and underlayment) take 1–2 days. We’ll give you a precise timeline in your quote.
Do You Handle Storm Damage Repairs?
Yes. Atlanta sees hail, high winds, and fallen trees. We work with your insurance adjuster—we’ll be on the roof with them to point out every damage item. We also do emergency tarping to prevent interior water damage until permanent repairs can be made. Call us 24/7 at (404) 474-0372 for storm emergencies.
What’s the Difference Between Repair and Replacement?
If the damage is isolated—say, a dozen shingles blown off—repair is the smart choice. If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread curling or cracking shingles, or has multiple leaks, a full replacement usually costs less in the long run than piecemeal repairs. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way.
How quickly can you fix a leak?
We prioritize leaks because they cause the most damage. If you call before noon, we’ll often inspect the same day. Minor leaks are typically repaired within 48 hours. We’ll also help you file an insurance claim if the leak is from storm damage.
