Leaks
Roof Leaks
A ceiling stain often shows up a few feet away from where the water gets in. We trace it back to the real entry point, so it doesn't leak again at the next rain.

What We Repair
We Find the Weak Spot and Fix It
A leaking roof is rarely a whole-roof problem. Most of the time it is one weak spot, and these are the ones we see most.
Storms
Storm, Wind & Hail Damage
Wind lifts and tears shingles, and hail bruises them. Both can start leaking weeks after the storm.
Wind
Missing or Blown-Off Shingles
Lost a few shingles in the wind? They can be put back without touching the rest of the roof.
Flashing
Chimney, Skylight, Wall & Valley Leaks
These leaks usually come from the metal flashing that seals the joints. We reseal or refit the flashing.
Most common
Pipe Boots & Roof Vents
The rubber collar around a plumbing vent pipe dries out and cracks in the Houston-area heat, which tops 90°F on about 100 days a year. It is one of the most common small leaks.
Not sure?
Is It Really the Roof?
Not every wet ceiling is a roof leak. A clogged AC drain line in the attic, a plumbing leak or condensation can look the same. If water shows up only when it rains, it's most likely the roof. If it drips on dry days, check the AC and plumbing first. Still not sure? Call us and we will help you figure it out.
Repair Only
We Only Repair Roofs
You call about one leak, and the roofer climbs down talking about a whole roof. It is one of the biggest worries homeowners have, and most roofing companies around Baytown do sell full roofs, so that pitch is always on the table.
Roof Bolt took it off the table. Our job is to find the problem and fix it, so a repair is the only thing we quote. And if a roof is truly too worn out for a repair to hold, we will tell you that plainly, with no sales pitch attached.
How We Check Your Roof
We start where you saw the problem: the stain, the drip or the bare spot on the roof. Then we check the places where leaks usually begin above it: pipe boots, vents, flashing around chimneys and walls, valleys and damaged shingles. When it's safe to get in, we look in the attic too, because water often runs along the wood before it drips. Once we find the cause, we tell you what it is and what the repair involves.
What Decides the Price of a Roof Repair
We don't list prices, because two leaks that look the same from inside can need very different work. The price depends on:
What is brokenA cracked pipe boot is a much smaller job than soft, rotten decking.
How much is damagedOne spot, or several around the roof.
Your roof typeShingle, metal, flat, tile and mobile-home roofs need different materials.
How steep and highSteep or two-story roofs take more setup to work on safely.
Whether a permit is neededIn Baytown, repairs to the roof decking need a city permit. Replacing shingles only does not.

Baytown Weather
Baytown Storms and Your Roof
If you have lived here a while, you have seen what the weather can do. Wind does most of the damage to roofs around Baytown, and spring is the rough season: May brings the most strong thunderstorm winds, and most of our hail falls between March and May. Then there are the storms people still talk about:
- February 10, 1998Three F1 tornadoes
Three tornadoes hit Baytown. The worst crossed Decker Road and damaged more than 150 homes; another damaged homes in Chaparral Village.
- September 13, 2008Hurricane Ike
The Baytown weather station recorded a 71 mph gust.
- May 16, 2024Derecho
A line of storms brought down trees and power lines across Baytown.
- July 8, 2024Hurricane Beryl
8.76 inches of rain fell at the Baytown station.
Plenty of Baytown roofs have lived through every one of these. About half the homes in the city were built before 1980, and on an older roof the flashing, pipe boots and shingles are the first to give. That is where storm water finds its way in, and that is what we fix.

If You Plan to Use Insurance
Texas homeowners policies pay roof claims either at replacement cost or at actual cash value, which takes off for the roof's age. The Texas Department of Insurance warns that some insurers switch older roofs to actual cash value at renewal, so check your policy before you file.
Take photos of the damage before any repair. We repair the roof; the claim itself is between you and your insurance company.

Watch Out for Storm Chasers
After big storms, door-knockers show up across the Houston area. Texas rules help you spot the bad ones. Some homeowners have been offered a quick tarp in return for signing an agreement that lets the contractor deal with their insurance, so read anything before you sign it.

Questions People Ask Us
How much does a roof repair cost in Baytown?
It depends on what is broken, how much of the roof is damaged, the roof type, how steep it is, and whether the job needs a permit. A cracked pipe boot costs far less to fix than rotten decking. You get the exact price after we have looked at your roof. What decides the price.
Can my roof just be repaired?
Often, yes. Most leaks start at one spot: a cracked pipe boot, loose flashing or a few missing shingles. Fixing that spot stops the leak. If a roof is too worn out for a repair to hold, we will tell you.
Do I need a permit to repair my roof in Baytown?
Not for replacing shingles only. The City of Baytown requires a permit when the roof decking or any structural part is repaired. You can check with Baytown Building Services at 281-420-6537.
What is the "25% rule" for roofing?
We haven't found a statewide Texas rule by that name. It is usually a city permit rule. Pasadena, for example, requires a permit for roof repairs over 25% of a roof. Baytown's rule depends on the type of work, not a percentage: decking needs a permit, shingles alone don't. Separately, the Texas Department of Insurance says repairs under 100 square feet that don't involve the decking don't need a windstorm inspection. The 25% rule explained.
Will insurance cover a 20-year-old roof in Texas?
It depends on your policy. The Texas Department of Insurance explains that insurers pay either replacement cost or actual cash value, that some switch older roofs to actual cash value at renewal, and that a roof in poor condition may not be covered. Check your policy's declarations page or ask your agent. Does insurance cover a roof leak?
Who should I call for a leaking ceiling: a roofer or a plumber?
If the water shows up during or after rain, call a roofer. If it drips on dry days, it's more likely a plumbing leak or a clogged AC drain line.
Do you come out at night or on weekends?
Yes. We respond 24/7, including nights and weekends. We always pick up, and if we ever miss a call, we call back within 30 minutes.
