Signs Your Roof Needs Repair
Most roof repair issues show up as outside damage or inside moisture signs. Catching them early helps prevent costly interior repairs.
Interior Warning Signs
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Peeling paint or wallpaper near roofline
- Mold or mildew smell in attic
- Daylight visible through roof boards
- Unexplained increase in energy bills
Central Ohio Climate Advisory
Central Ohio's climate with hot summers, cold winters, and frequent storms—accelerates roof wear faster than many other regions. We recommend annual inspections to catch problems before they cause interior damage.
How It Works
Types of Roof Repairs We Perform
From minor leaks to major storm damage restoration we handle it all.
Leak Detection & Repair
What this solves
Leaks often start far from where water shows up inside—so accurate leak tracing matters.
Roof leaks rarely occur directly above where you see water damage inside. Water travels along roof decking and rafters before dripping into your living space, making the actual leak source difficult to find.
Our leak detection process traces water intrusion back to its source. Common leak locations include:
- Flashing failures around chimneys, vents, and skylights
- Valley damage where two roof slopes meet
- Pipe boot deterioration around plumbing vents
- Damaged or missing shingles in vulnerable areas
- Ice dam damage along roof edges
We identify and fix the actual problem—not just where water appears inside your home.
Storm Damage Repair
What this solves
Wind, hail, and debris impact can cause visible and hidden roof damage that worsens over time.
Central Ohio storms can damage roofs in minutes. We repair all types of storm damage:
Wind damage lifts, loosens, or tears away shingles—sometimes exposing the roof deck to water intrusion. Even moderate 50-60 mph winds can damage vulnerable roofing.
Hail damage cracks and bruises shingles, knocking off protective granules. Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground but significantly shortens roof life.
Debris impact from fallen branches and wind-blown objects can puncture roofing materials or damage flashing.
We provide complete documentation for insurance claims, including detailed photos and itemized repair estimates formatted for insurance submission.
Need emergency tarping? We respond quickly to prevent further damage until permanent repairs can be completed.
Shingle Repair & Replacement
What this solves
Missing or damaged shingles compromise your roof's water barrier and can lead to leaks quickly.
Whether you need a few shingles replaced or a larger section repaired, we restore your roof’s protection:
- Individual shingle replacement for isolated damage
- Section repairs for larger damaged areas
- Matching existing shingles for seamless appearance
- Asphalt, architectural, and specialty shingles available
We carry a wide selection of shingles and work to match your existing roofing as closely as possible.
Flashing & Vent Repairs
What this solves
Most chronic roof leaks originate at penetrations—chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys.
Flashing seals the gaps where roofing materials meet walls, chimneys, vents, and other penetrations. When flashing fails, water finds its way in.
We repair and replace:
- Chimney flashing — step flashing, counter flashing, and cricket installation
- Vent pipe boots — the rubber seals around plumbing vents that deteriorate over time
- Skylight seals — preventing leaks around skylight edges
- Valley flashing — protecting where two roof slopes meet
- Drip edge — directing water away from fascia boards
Flat & Low-Slope Roof Repairs
What this solves
Flat roof sections are prone to ponding water and seam failures, so repairs must address both the leak and drainage.
Many Central Ohio homes have flat or low-slope roof sections over additions, garages, porches, or sunrooms. These areas require specialized repair techniques different from standard shingle roofs.
We repair residential flat roof sections including:
- Rubber membrane (EPDM) — seam repairs, patch work, and membrane restoration
- Modified bitumen — blister repair, seam resealing, and coating
- Rolled roofing — patching and replacement of damaged sections
Flat roofs are especially prone to ponding water and seam failures. Our repairs address both the immediate leak and the underlying drainage issues that cause problems.
For full commercial flat roof systems, including TPO, PVC, and large-scale EPDM installations, see our commercial roofing services
Emergency Roof Repair
What this solves
Active leaks and storm damage require immediate protection to prevent interior loss.
Roof emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When storms cause active leaks, fallen trees damage your roof, or you discover serious problems, we respond quickly.
Our emergency services include:
- Rapid response to prevent interior damage
- Temporary waterproofing and tarping to protect your home
- Assessment of full damage extent
- Permanent repair scheduling once conditions allow

Weather Conditions
Central Ohio Weather & Your Roof
Quick Takeaway
Central Ohio’s wind, hail, ice, and heavy rain can cause both obvious and hidden roof damage, making post-storm inspections essential for catching problems early.
Ohio's four-season climate puts unique stress on roofing systems. Understanding these challenges helps you protect your home.
Hailstorms cause both obvious and hidden damage. Large hail cracks and punctures shingles, while smaller hail knocks off granules and creates bruising that isn’t visible from the ground.
Central Ohio typically experiences 2-3 significant hail events per year. If hail hits your neighborhood, schedule an inspection—damage you can’t see can still shorten your roof’s life by years.
Important: Document the storm date and conditions for insurance purposes, even if you don’t see obvious damage immediately.
Ice dams form when snow on your roof melts, runs down to the colder roof edge, and refreezes. This ice buildup traps water, which can back up under shingles and leak into your home.
Signs of ice dam damage include:
- Water stains on ceilings or walls after winter
- Icicles hanging from roof edges
- Ice buildup in gutters
Proper attic ventilation and insulation help prevent ice dams. If you’re experiencing ice dam problems, we can identify solutions as part of your roof repair.
Even roofs in good condition can leak during heavy rain if small vulnerabilities exist. Central Ohio’s spring and fall bring our heaviest rainfall that are prime conditions for discovering those pesky hard-to-find leaks.
If your roof leaks only during heavy rain, there’s likely a specific failure point we can identify and repair.

Repair vs. Replacement: How We Help You Decide
Fast Guidance
Repairs usually make sense when damage is limited and the roof system is still healthy. Replacement becomes more cost-effective when age and widespread wear reduce the value of continued repairs.
Not every roof problem requires a full replacement. We believe in honest assessments and cost-effective solutions. Use our quick assessment tool or review the comparison below.
