Roof Repair, Roof Leaks & Storm Damage

STOP SMALL ROOF PROBLEMS EARLY

A Small Roof Leak Can Become a Much Bigger Repair

Water does not have to pour through the ceiling for a roof problem to cause damage. Missing or damaged roofing, failed flashing, wind damage and small leaks can allow moisture into roof decking, insulation, drywall, trim and other parts of the home.

J&D Handyman helps homeowners address practical roof repairs and related exterior damage before a smaller problem becomes a larger one. If a repair reveals damage beyond the appropriate scope of handyman work, the next step can be explained clearly rather than covering up the problem.

Roof and storm-damage problems we can evaluate

• Minor roof leaks and water intrusion
• Missing, loose or damaged roofing materials
• Wind and storm-related roof damage
• Flashing and roof-edge problem areas
• Rotten or weather-damaged exterior wood
• Trim, fascia and related exterior repairs
• Interior drywall or surface damage associated with leaks
• Gutter and drainage issues contributing to exterior damage

Warning Signs Your Roof May Need Attention

Some roof problems are obvious after a storm, while others develop slowly. Water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint near the roofline, damp attic areas, loose exterior trim, missing roofing materials and recurring moisture are all reasons to investigate the source instead of simply repairing the visible stain.

After heavy wind or rain, it is also worth looking for changes around roof edges, gutters and exterior trim. Catching damage early can help limit the amount of material affected by moisture.

Roof Leak? Find the Source Before Fixing the Interior

Painting over a ceiling stain or patching damaged drywall does not solve an active leak. The source of the moisture should be addressed first. Once the exterior problem is corrected and the area has had an opportunity to dry, damaged interior surfaces can be repaired as needed.

This is one advantage of working with a handyman company that also handles drywall, painting, carpentry, gutters and exterior wood repairs: related damage can be considered as part of the overall repair rather than as isolated symptoms.
