Roof repair and emergency leaks.
A leak does not wait for business hours. Here is what to do first, and what a real repair looks like versus a smear of sealant.

Move furniture, put a container under the drip, and if the ceiling is sagging with trapped water, relieve it at the low point so it drains in one place instead of bringing the drywall down. Photograph everything before you clean it up.
What you should not do is climb onto a wet roof. More Oklahoma homeowners get hurt in the hour after a storm than during it.
What we actually repair
- Wind-lifted and missing shingles
- Failed pipe boots - the single most common leak we find
- Flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys
- Hail punctures and cracked shingle mats
- Damaged fascia, drip edge and gutter line
- Decking and underlayment where water has already gotten through
Repair or replace?
A repair makes sense when
The damage is confined to one area, the rest of the roof still has service life, the shingles are not brittle with age, and there is no valid storm claim covering the whole roof.
A replacement makes sense when
Hail bruising shows up on every slope, the shingle mat cracks when it flexes, there have been repeated repairs in different places, or the roof is simply old enough that the next storm ends it anyway.
Common questions
What should I do about an active roof leak right now?
Move what you can out from under it, put a bucket down, and if the ceiling is bulging with trapped water, put a small hole at the low point to let it drain in one controlled place instead of collapsing the drywall. Photograph everything for your insurer. Then call us - do not get on the roof yourself in wet conditions.
Is a repair or a replacement the right call?
If the damage is localized and the rest of the roof has life left, repair it. If the roof is at the end of its service life, or hail damage is spread across every slope, a repair is money spent twice. We will tell you which one you have and we do not get paid more for saying replacement.
Do you do emergency roof tarping?
Yes. After a storm we can get a tarp on to stop water entering the house while the claim and the schedule get sorted out.
Can you match my existing shingles for a repair?
Usually close, rarely perfect. Shingle colors change over production runs and sun-fade changes them again. On a visible slope we will tell you honestly how noticeable the patch will be.
