FAQs
How can I tell if my Dayton home has a small roof leak?
Early signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, damp attic insulation, a musty smell after rain, peeling interior paint, or light shining through the attic boards. Because Dayton experiences rapid freeze-thaw cycles in winter and heavy spring storms, even small seepage can worsen quickly. If you spot any of these indicators, schedule an inspection right away.
Why is it important to fix a minor roof leak immediately?
A leak the size of a nail hole can let in gallons of water during a single storm. Left alone, moisture can rot roof decking, compromise drywall, spawn mold, and reduce your home’s energy efficiency. In Dayton’s humid summers, mold spreads faster, and in winter trapped water can freeze and expand, enlarging the opening. Prompt repairs are far less expensive than structural restorations later.
What does a typical small-leak roof repair cost in the Dayton area?
For most asphalt-shingle roofs, expect $250–$600 for a single localized repair (replacing a few shingles and underlayment, sealing flashing, and resecuring nails). Costs rise with multiple leak points, steep pitches, or specialty materials such as metal or slate. We provide free on-site estimates so you know the exact price before any work begins.
How long will the repair take?
A standard small-leak repair is usually completed in 1–3 hours, including setup and cleanup. If decking replacement or extensive flashing work is required, it can extend to half a day. Because weather in Dayton can change rapidly, we monitor the forecast and schedule work during clear windows to ensure lasting results.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the repair?
Policies vary, but insurers often cover sudden storm damage (e.g., wind-blown shingles) if addressed promptly. They generally do NOT cover leaks caused by long-term neglect. Document the damage with photos, keep copies of our inspection report, and contact your agent quickly. We can meet your adjuster on-site and provide detailed invoices to streamline the claim.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans for small-leak repairs?
Yes. All workmanship is backed by a minimum 1-year labor warranty, and materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 20–30 years for shingles). We also offer an annual roof-and-gutter maintenance program that includes a spring and fall inspection, minor sealant touch-ups, and debris removal—ideal for Dayton homeowners who want to catch issues before they become costly leaks.
