FAQs
What are the most common causes of roof leaks in Huntsville, and how do you identify them?
In Huntsville, sudden thunderstorms, hail, and wide temperature swings often loosen shingles, crack flashing, or open seams around vents and chimneys. We begin each service call with a visual assessment, then use moisture meters and infrared scanning to trace hidden water paths. If needed, we deploy a drone to inspect steep or hard-to-reach slopes. This combination allows us to pinpoint the exact entry point instead of guessing or replacing large roof sections unnecessarily.
How quickly can your team respond to a leak repair request in the Huntsville area?
For active leaks, we offer same-day emergency tarping to stop interior damage and schedule permanent repairs within 24–48 hours, weather permitting. For non-emergency drip or stain issues, standard appointments are typically available within two business days. Because all of our technicians are based in Madison County, we eliminate long travel delays and can adapt quickly if another storm cell moves through.
Do you provide a warranty on your precision leak repairs, and what does it cover?
Yes. All leak repairs come with a written 2-year workmanship warranty that covers any labor-related defects such as improper flashing installation, inadequate sealant application, or shingle fastening errors. When we replace shingles, pipe boots, or metal flashing, you also receive the manufacturer’s material warranty—usually 20–30 years on asphalt shingles and 50 years on metal components. If the repaired area fails during the warranty term, we return at no charge to correct it.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of roof leak repairs?
Coverage depends on the cause of the leak and your policy details. Sudden events like hail, fallen limbs, or wind-driven rain that breaches the roof are usually covered after your deductible. Long-term wear, lack of maintenance, or gradual deterioration is generally excluded. We provide detailed inspection photos and a written damage report you can forward to your adjuster. If the loss is storm-related, we can meet the adjuster on site to ensure all needed repairs are documented.
How do you ensure that repaired areas match my existing roof’s appearance and meet Huntsville building codes?
We stock dozens of shingle colors from major manufacturers and keep archived samples of popular tones used in North Alabama subdivisions. Before work begins, we hold sample boards against your roof in natural light to achieve the closest possible match. If the original color has faded, we blend shingles from multiple bundles to create a seamless transition. All repairs follow the 2021 International Residential Code as adopted by the City of Huntsville, including proper underlayment, step flashing overlaps, and minimum fastener counts.
What preventative maintenance can homeowners do to avoid future leaks in Huntsville’s climate?
1) Schedule a professional roof inspection every spring and after any hail or high-wind event. 2) Keep gutters and downspouts clear so water doesn’t back up under shingles. 3) Trim tree limbs at least 6 feet from the roof to reduce abrasion and limb fall. 4) Check attic ventilation—adequate airflow reduces heat and moisture that can degrade roofing materials. 5) Replace cracked pipe boots and reseal flashing every 5–7 years. Following these steps significantly reduces the chance of leaks and extends the life of your roof.
