Almost never the shingles.
Pipe boots
The single most common leak in Florida. Neoprene collars crack at roughly year eight. We replace with lead.
Valley metal
Where two planes meet, water volume triples. Nails driven through a valley are a guaranteed future leak.
Chimney & wall flashing
Counter-flashing tucked into a mortar joint, not smeared with sealant. Sealant is a two-year fix at best.
Skylight curbs
Twenty-year-old acrylic domes and dried gaskets. Often cheaper to replace the unit than chase it twice.
Ridge & hip caps
Wind lifts caps first. A missing cap looks cosmetic and lets water straight into the attic.
Low-slope transitions
Lanais and additions under a 2:12 pitch need membrane, not shingles. Very often the original builder's error.
We will tell you when a repair is the wrong call.
If your roof is past eighteen years, has granule loss across whole planes, or has already been patched in four places, another repair is money spent twice. We say so in writing, and we do not charge for the visit that tells you.
Got a stain on the ceiling? Do not wait for rain.
Trapped moisture becomes rotted decking in a season, and rotted decking turns a $400 repair into a replacement.
