roof leak repair for Allston homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
A leak in a Allston 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.
Not every Allston roof needs the biggest job on the sheet. When we quote roof leak repair we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold, whether doing one section will do, or whether you are genuinely past that — and we would rather do the smaller job well.
Metal is our specialty, so if roof leak repair on your Allston home opens the door to standing seam or a panel roof, we will price that right alongside the shingle option and let you compare the real numbers side by side.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
Knowing when it leaks — every rain, only in a driving wind, only after snow — narrows it down quickly.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
We repair what is letting water in rather than the symptom, which usually means reworking flashing instead of adding more sealant.
Then we clean up and give you an honest word on how much life the roof has left.
What comes up on just about every estimate for a job like this.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Allston ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We can usually get a Allston 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 Allston homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Yes, and it is included. A Allston 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.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"They found a leak two other roofers could not. Turned out to be the chimney flashing, not the roof at all. Fixed in one afternoon and it has been dry ever since."
"They replaced the soffit and fascia the squirrels had chewed through and closed everything back up tight. No more scratching in the attic at night."
"Roof on our shop building. They worked Saturdays so we did not have to shut the doors during the week."
