From roof leaks and missing shingles to damaged flashing and other localized problems, Weathertight Exteriors LLC provides professional roof repair for asphalt shingle, metal and TPO roofing systems. We identify the source of the problem, explain what we find and recommend the appropriate repair for your roof.
A Roof Leak Doesn’t Always Mean You Need a New Roof
Missing or damaged shingles, deteriorated pipe collars, flashing problems and other localized issues can often be repaired when the surrounding roofing system is still in good condition. At Weathertight Exteriors LLC, we evaluate the source of the problem and the condition of the surrounding roof before recommending the appropriate repair.
Common Roof Repairs We Handle
Roof problems can develop for many different reasons, from normal wear and aging to wind, storms or problems around roof penetrations. Finding the source of the problem is the first step in determining whether a roof repair can properly address it.
Leaking Pipe Collars & Plumbing Vent Boots
Pipe collars, also called plumbing vent boots, seal the area where plumbing vent pipes pass through the roof. Over time, the seal around a pipe can deteriorate, crack or fail, allowing water into the roofing system. A homeowner may first notice a ceiling stain or roof leak without realizing the pipe collar is the source of the problem.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
High winds, storms and normal aging can loosen, crack or remove shingles, leaving the roof more vulnerable to water intrusion. When the damage is limited to a specific area and the surrounding roofing system is still in serviceable condition, replacing the affected shingles may be an appropriate roof repair.
When shingle damage is widespread or the existing roofing system is no longer a good candidate for repair, asphalt shingle roof replacement may be the better long-term solution.
Chimney & Roof Flashing Repairs
Flashing helps direct water away from vulnerable areas where the roof meets chimneys, walls and other roof transitions. When flashing becomes damaged, deteriorated or was not installed correctly, water can work its way beneath the roofing system. We evaluate the flashing and surrounding roofing materials to determine where water is entering and what repair is needed.
Skylight Leak Repairs
A leak near a skylight does not necessarily mean the skylight itself has failed. Water can enter through damaged flashing, deteriorated roofing materials or problems with the skylight assembly. Identifying the actual source of the leak is important before deciding whether flashing repairs, roofing repairs or skylight replacement is appropriate.
Storm & Wind Damage Roof Repair
High winds and severe storms can damage shingles, flashing and other roofing components, sometimes without creating an immediate roof leak. Missing, lifted or damaged shingles and damage around roof penetrations can leave vulnerable areas exposed to water intrusion. We evaluate the affected areas and the surrounding roofing system to determine whether localized roof repair is appropriate or whether the damage is more extensive.

TPO & Low-Slope Roof Repairs
TPO and other low-slope roofing systems require different repair methods than asphalt shingles. Open seams, damaged flashing, punctures and problems around penetrations can allow water into the roofing system. Weathertight Exteriors LLC provides TPO roof repair for residential and commercial low-slope roofing systems, including additions, sunrooms and other low-slope roof areas. We evaluate the condition of the membrane and surrounding components to determine whether the affected area can be properly repaired. When the condition or extent of damage makes repair impractical, TPO roof replacement may be the better long-term solution.
Metal Roof Repairs
Metal roofing systems can develop leaks from damaged or loose fasteners, flashing problems, failed sealants, storm damage or issues around roof penetrations. Because the source of a metal roof leak may not be directly above where water appears inside, identifying the point of entry is an important part of determining the proper repair. Weathertight Exteriors LLC evaluates the affected area and surrounding roof components to determine whether the metal roofing system can be properly repaired. When damage is extensive or the existing roofing system is no longer a good candidate for repair, metal roof replacement may provide a better long-term solution.
Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?
Not every damaged roof needs to be replaced, but not every roof is a good candidate for repair. The right solution depends on the age and overall condition of the roofing system, the extent and location of the damage, previous repairs and whether new materials can be properly integrated with the existing roof.
At Weathertight Exteriors LLC, we evaluate the affected area along with the surrounding roofing system before making a recommendation. If a proper roof repair makes sense, we’ll explain what can be repaired. If the condition of the roof makes replacement the better long-term option, we’ll explain why.
What Happens During a Roof Repair Evaluation?
Finding the source of a roof leak is not always as simple as looking directly above where water appears inside the home. Water can travel along roofing materials, decking or framing before becoming visible. During a roof evaluation, we inspect the affected area along with nearby shingles or roofing materials, flashing, penetrations and other potential entry points.
Once the source and extent of the problem are identified, we explain what we found and discuss the appropriate repair options. The goal is to address the cause of the problem, not simply the place where the leak became visible.
