Novato's coastal climate and seasonal storms contribute to frequent roof leaks and water damage, especially in older homes with asphalt shingles or flat roofing membranes.

The service timeline

Water damage roof repair process explained

Initial inspection

A licensed technician conducts a detailed roof inspection using a moisture meter and roof inspection drone. This step identifies damage areas, including hidden leaks or ponding water on flat roofs. Inspection typically takes 1-2 hours.

Technicians evaluate the extent of damage, including damaged shingles, flashing failure, or membrane tears. They document their findings and explain the price on site, often the same day.

Stage 2

Material selection

Based on the roof type, whether asphalt shingles, metal roofing panels, or slate tiles, we choose materials from brands like CertainTeed or Malarkey Roofing Products for durability and code compliance.

Repair execution

Using tools such as roofing nail guns, caulking guns, and roofing hammers, the crew performs repairs including shingle replacement, flashing sealing, or membrane patching. Typical repairs take 3-6 hours depending on damage scope.
