ROOF LEAKS · REPAIRS · REPLACEMENT
Should you repair or replace your roof?
You do not have to choose the work before asking us to look. If a repair will hold, we say so. If it won't, we tell you what will. The inspection is how we work out what to recommend.
Tell us what you see Call (314) 328-4077
Leave us a message anytime.
Start with what you can tell us
- Where you see water, a stain, missing shingles or other damage.
- When it started, whether it happens in certain weather, and whether it is still wet.
- Whether a repair has already been tried.
- Photos you already have, or photos taken safely from the ground.
Why the inspection comes first
-
Our office calls you back and arranges a time to look at the roof.
-
We look at the roof and its details, including shingles, flashing, boots and penetrations, and photograph what we find.
-
We go through the findings with you in plain terms and recommend the work the roof needs.
How we explain the recommendation
If a repair will hold, we say so. If it won't, we tell you what will.
We do full roof replacements too, when the roof is past repairing.
- For a repair, the written estimate sets out the work we recommend to fix the problem.
- For a replacement, you get a written estimate for the full roof replacement we recommend.
What to ask before deciding
Use the inspection findings and the written estimate to understand the recommendation before work is scheduled.
- What did the inspection find?
- Why is a repair or a full replacement being recommended?
- What work is included in the written estimate?
Questions about the choice
- Will asking for an inspection mean you recommend a new roof?
- We are repair-first. If a repair will hold, that is what we recommend. When the roof is past repairing, we explain why and can do the full replacement.
- What if I do not know which service to ask for?
- Tell us what you see: a leak, a stain, visible damage or a repair that has already been tried. You can use the Tell us what you see button or call us. Our office arranges a time to look.
- When do I see the price for the recommended work?
- After we have seen the roof, you get a written estimate for the work we recommend. The numbers are in writing before anything is scheduled.
- Do I get photos from the inspection?
- Yes. We photograph what we find and go through it with you, so you see what we saw.
- Who follows up when I send a request?
- Our office. Someone reads every request and calls you back to arrange a time to look at the roof. You can leave us a message anytime.
