Roof repair

Many leaks start at flashings and penetrations rather than the open roof, so those are checked first.

What this covers

Shingle, tile and flashing repairs, pipe boots, vents, skylights and chimney flashing.

Before the roofer arrives

• Stay off the roof, especially when it is wet, icy or after a storm.
• Put buckets under drips and move belongings and electronics away from wet ceilings.
• Photograph damage inside and, from the ground, outside — useful for an insurance claim.
