ROOF REPAIR

ROOF REPAIR

Most roofing contractors perform roof replacement services. However, many do not provide roof repair work or maintenance. We know how to identify the visible and hidden signs indicating a roof needs repair. After contacting us, we dispatch our technicians to comprehensively inspect your roofing system to determine the source of any roof problems. If your home is experiencing a leak, we look for indications of water intrusion, such as damp insulation, wood rot, and peeled flashing. If your roof requires a repair, we provide a detailed written estimate of the components needing addressing.

Because Florida weather can be unpredictable, you need a trusted roofing professional. Heavy rains, high winds, and destructive hail can cause extensive damage to your roof. We give you peace of mind that we have the knowledge, experience, and tools to perform the job efficiently and expertly. Following a storm, schedule a free roofing evaluation to assess the extent of damage to your roof. At K.L. Smith, Inc., we work closely with you as the homeowner to promptly restore your roof.

Frequently Asked Roof Repair Questions

We just had a big storm. Should I check my roof for damage?

At K.L. Smith, Inc., we advise against any homeowner going up on a roof. Even a low-pitched roof can be a slippery, dangerous place. The best thing to do is to contact us for a FREE roof inspection.

I’ll just take a peek from the ground or an extension ladder. What should I look for?

  • Blunt impact damage from tree branches or wind-tossed debris
  • Dimpling and cracks from hail
  • Uplift, torn or raised shingles from winds
  • Missing or loose shingles, especially along a roof edge
  • Displaced flashing or drip edge

You can also scope out the need for shingle roof repair after a storm by examining the underside of your roof, from your attic.

Look for indications of Water Infiltration:

  • Damp Insulation
  • Water Spots
  • Blackend or darkened wood on sheathing or rafters
  • Damaged rooftop ventilators
  • Dripping water around chimneys, sanitary stacks and other roof penetrations

I have stains on my ceiling and wall. Does that mean I have a leaky roof?

Shingle roofs are water resistant, not watertight. Shingles may be damaged or missing, or you may have failed underlayment. Contact K.L. Smith, Inc. today for a free, no-obligation roof inspection to determine whether you need a roof repair.

EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR ROOF WITH ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Every homeowner must prioritize routine maintenance on their roof to keep it in good condition and ensure its longevity. Some examples of roof maintenance include:

  • Trimming overhanging tree branches – to avoid dents, scratches, and punctures to the roof;
  • Blowing off leaves – to avoid pooling water and roof discoloration;
  • Soft washing – to remove any algae accumulation and prevent shingle discoloration;
  • Cleaning out gutters – to prevent overflowing water from slipping under shingles.
