The failure points, up close
These are the actual conditions we repair every week across the DMV — not stock photos.
Fast, lasting repairs for leaks, missing shingles, and failed flashing across Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. We find the real source, fix it right, and back it with a 2-year workmanship warranty.
If it's a $350 fix, we'll tell you it's a $350 fix — never a replacement pitch. And you keep the $400 photo report either way.
Free 24-hour inspection + full photo report — a $400 value, free. You keep the report either way. No obligation.

A lifted chimney flashing or cracked pipe boot lets in a cup of water per storm. Right now it's a simple seal-and-reflash visit.
Fix today: ~$350–$750Plywood stays wet under the shingles, rot spreads outward, and soaked insulation stops insulating — your HVAC quietly pays the difference.
Decking + insulation: $1,500–$4,500The stain finally shows inside — which means water has been in the structure for months. Mold remediation is its own licensed trade, at its own price.
Interior repair + mold: $2,000–$6,000Once rot crosses enough decking, no honest roofer can patch it. Now it's a full tear-off plus structural carpentry plus everything above.
Tear-off + interior damage: $18,000–$25,000+Typical ranges, not quotes. The free 24-hour inspection tells you — with dated photos — exactly which month your roof is in.
We trace the entry point — often feet from where the ceiling stain shows — and seal it properly. Emergency tarping available for active leaks.
Chimneys, skylights, valleys, and pipe boots are where most roofs actually fail. We re-flash and re-seal to code so it stays dry.
Color-matched replacement and re-sealing after wind events, so the repair blends in and holds.
Caulk-gun patch jobs fail in a season. Every UD repair follows the same four-step protocol, with real materials named on your invoice.
Water travels along rafters and decking before it drips. We inspect from the roof and the attic side — the entry point is often 6–10 feet from the stain.
Dated photos of the source, the water path, and any hidden damage. You see exactly what we see before we quote a single dollar.
Color-matched GAF shingles, new step and counter-flashing (not caulk over old metal), ice-and-water shield membrane at the repair, and new EPDM pipe boots.
A 2-year workmanship warranty on the repair, on paper, with our MHIC/VA/PA license numbers on it. If it leaks again, we come back — free.
These are the actual conditions we repair every week across the DMV — not stock photos.
Plenty of roofs need a real repair, not a replacement — and we'll say so, with photos to prove it. Here's the honest decision line we use on your roof:
| A repair is the right call | Replacement is the right call | |
|---|---|---|
| Roof age | Under ~15 years with life left in the shingles | Past 18–20 years, brittle or shedding granules |
| Damage pattern | Isolated — one flashing, a few shingles, one boot | Widespread wear, multiple slopes, repeat leaks |
| Decking | Dry and solid under the repair area | Soft spots, sagging, or attic-side staining |
| Typical cost* | $350–$1,500 for most repairs | $9,000–$18,000 typical asphalt replacement — $0-down financing available |
*Typical DMV ranges. If a recent storm caused the damage, insurance may owe you a roof — see how storm restoration works →. Either way, you get an honest answer and a photo report you keep.
The homeowners who spend the least on their roofs are the ones who catch problems in month one, not year two. That's the entire point of the free annual inspection: a certified estimator checks the flashing, boots, sealant, and shingles that fail first — and hands you a dated photo report. It's a $400 service. You pay nothing, and you keep the report either way.
Book My Free Inspection →Same-week repair across the DMV, with emergency tarping for active leaks. The free 24-hour inspection pinpoints the source with a photo report.
Many issues are genuine repairs — flashing, boots, a few shingles. We'll tell you honestly when a repair is the right call versus replacement, with photos to back it up.
Yes — our workmanship carries a 2-year warranty, with matching, code-compliant materials.
Most flashing, pipe-boot, and shingle repairs run $350–$1,500 depending on access and how far water has traveled. Chimney and skylight rebuilds run higher. Your free inspection produces an exact fixed price before any work starts.
If the damage came from a storm — wind, hail, or fallen limbs — your homeowner's policy may cover far more than a patch. That's a different process with filing deadlines, and we handle it end to end on our storm restoration page. Normal wear is not covered, and we'll tell you honestly which one you have.
Free 24-hour inspection with a photo report you keep — anywhere in Maryland, Northern Virginia, or Pennsylvania.
