Need roof leak repair in Dover? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
A leak in a Dover house almost never announces where it started. Water runs down decking and along rafters before it finally shows on a ceiling, so we work backward from the stain to the real point of entry and fix that.
Our roof leak repair work in Dover is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Dover roof leak repair for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
Where the attic is accessible we go up with a light and follow the tracks back toward the entry point.
If it is not obvious we test with water rather than guessing and charging you for a repair that fixes nothing.
We repair what is letting water in rather than the symptom, which usually means reworking flashing instead of adding more sealant.
You get photographs of anything we spot, with no obligation to do a thing about it today.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Yes, and it is included. A Dover roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
We can usually get a Dover roof covered and stop the water in the middle of weather, but the permanent repair waits for a dry stretch. Sealing something wet just means doing it twice.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Dover homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Dover ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Real feedback from homeowners we have worked for.
"The skylight had leaked for two years and three different people had caulked it. These folks reflashed it properly and that was the end of it."
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"Great job and wonderful to work with. Fantastic metal roof on the addition to the front of our home. Highly recommend!"
