Roof repair and leak repair

Most roof leaks start at flashing, not shingles: around chimneys, vents, skylights, walls and valleys. H & B finds where the water actually enters, repairs that spot, and tells you honestly whether a repair will hold or the roof is near the end of its life. Active leaks get a same-day call back.

Signs it is time to call.

  • A water stain on a ceiling or around a light fixture
  • Drips in the attic during heavy rain
  • Shingles blown off after wind
  • Cracked rubber boots around plumbing vents
  • Loose or rusted flashing at a chimney or wall

How the work goes.

  1. When you call tell us where the stain or drip is. If water is coming in, we will help you limit the damage and get on site as fast as we can.
  2. On site we trace the leak from the attic and the roof, photograph the cause and quote the repair before we do it.
  3. After the repair you get photos of the finished work and a plain note on the roof's overall condition so there are no surprises later.

Options we install.

Flashing repairChimney, wall, step and valley flashing reset or replaced, including copper on older houses.
Shingle and slate repairMatching replacement shingles, or individual slates replaced with hooks or nails as the roof requires.
Vents, boots and skylightsCracked pipe boots, failed vent seals and leaking skylight curbs.

Yes. Many Richmond city homes have slate on mansards and main roofs. Individual broken slates can usually be replaced, and flashing at chimneys and dormers can be redone without replacing the slate.
