Sacramento and the surrounding region
Catching a roof problem early usually means a smaller repair and less damage inside your home.
Often the first visible sign of a leak, even when the source is several feet away.
Moisture, darkened decking or wet insulation in the attic points to water entry.
Wind can lift or remove shingles and tiles, exposing the underlayment.
Cracked, loose or rusted flashing around chimneys, vents and walls.
Excess shingle granules can indicate wear and an aging roof surface.
A roof that only leaks in wind-driven rain often has a flashing or transition issue.

Answers for homeowners dealing with a roof leak or storm damage.
We inspect the interior and attic for moisture trails, then examine the roof surface, flashing, penetrations and transitions above that area. Water often travels along framing, so the source can be several feet from the stain.
Many leaks can be repaired. If the roof is near the end of its service life or damage is widespread, we will explain why replacement may be the better investment and show you what we found.
