Common roof problems we repair in Shiloh

- Flashing failures around chimneys, valleys and pipe boots, where leaks usually start.
- Granule loss and worn spots that let water in.
How we approach a repair
We do not guess from the driveway. We inspect the actual problem area, find the real source of the water (often not where it shows up inside), and fix it properly so it holds. Every inspection and estimate is free.
Repairs we handle most often
- Pipe boot leaks: the rubber collar around plumbing vents cracks in the sun and lets water run down the pipe.
- Flashing at chimneys, walls and valleys that has lifted, rusted or was never sealed right.
- Wind-lifted or missing shingles after a storm, replaced and sealed so the next gust does not take more.
- Nail pops that push up through shingles and let water in around the shank.
- Damaged decking under a long-running leak, cut out and replaced before it spreads.
When a repair is not the right call
If your Shiloh roof is near the end of its life, a repair can be money spent on a roof you will replace soon anyway. We will tell you when that is the case, and when the damage came from a storm we will check whether it is a covered insurance claim before you pay for anything out of pocket.

Common questions
How fast can you fix a leak in Shiloh?
We prioritize active leaks. If the permanent repair cannot happen right away because of weather, we tarp the area to stop water getting in and come back to fix it properly.
Why does my ceiling stain not line up with the leak?
Water lands on the decking, runs along rafters and underlayment, and drips through wherever it finds a gap. The real entry point is often several feet uphill from the stain, which is why we trace it from the roof and the attic.
Do you repair roofs you did not install?
Yes. Most of our repair work in Shiloh is on roofs other companies installed.
Have tornadoes come through Shiloh?
Yes. NOAA records an EF1 tornado that touched down just southwest of Shiloh on Oct. 14, 2014, and an EF2 tornado that ended about two miles east-northeast of Shiloh on Nov. 16, 2011. A home in the 2014 path lost part of its roof.
