Dependable roof leak repair for Houghton homeowners from Roofing Brothers — measured on site, done on schedule, and cleaned up after.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Houghton homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
When a Houghton homeowner calls us about roof leak repair, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the roof leak repair on your Houghton home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Houghton homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Houghton home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Houghton ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
Most leak repairs on a Houghton home are a few hundred to around fifteen hundred dollars, depending on what has to be opened up and whether decking underneath has gone soft. The estimate is free.
What people said once the job was finished and the trucks were gone.
"Ice was backing up at our eaves every winter. They cleared it, then went back and fixed the ventilation, and we have not had the problem since."
"Thank you so much to the entire crew at Roofing Brothers for our amazing new tin roof! You were amazing to work with and I couldn't recommend you to others enough! Great communication, pricing, color options, efficiency, and HONESTY! If anyone needs a new roof, I highly recommend this crew! Phenomenal job."
"Honest people. I asked for a quote on a whole new roof and they told me mine had another eight years in it and just needed the valleys resealed. Who does that anymore?"
