Marshall
Chimney flashing
Stain on the ceiling beside the chimney after every hard rain. The flashing had pulled, not the shingles. Rebuilt the step flashing and sealed it. One afternoon.

Before anyone quotes a replacement
Most roofs we are called out to are not finished. Here is how we sort it, and you can hold us to it.
Repair
A leak at one spot
Flashing at a chimney, a vent boot, one cracked valley, a lifted ridge cap, a gutter pulling away from the fascia.
Shingles elsewhere are still sealed. This is a repair, usually a few hundred dollars and done in a day.
Restore
Worn, but still sound
Granules in the gutter, some curling on the south slope, but the deck is dry and the shingles still seal.
We clear the debris, re-seal what has lifted, fix the ventilation, and get you a few more years before it is a replacement conversation.
Replace
The roof is actually at the end
Soft deck, shingles gone in more than one place, leaks in several rooms, or a second layer already on top of the first.
That is the only time we quote a whole roof, and you get the photos that show why.
The inspection
Thirty minutes, and you get the findings in writing
- Outside, every slopeWe walk or drone the roof, photograph each slope, and check the flashing, valleys, vents and pipe boots.
- Inside, the attic and ceilingsDeck, rafters, insulation and ventilation. Daylight where it should not be is the fastest way to find a bad valley.
- Gutters, fascia and the groundWhere the water goes, whether the gutter is pitched away from the house, and what the grading does in a hard rain.
- Written findings you keepA short report with the photos, what is wrong, what is fine, and the repair price if a repair is all it needs.
Recent work
Marshall, Albion and Homer
Three jobs from the last two months. Town, what was wrong, and what was done about it.
Springfield
Gutter pulling away
Water running behind the gutter and down the fascia on the north side. Re-hung the run, replaced two hangers, re-pitched it away from the wall.
Pennfield
Valley leak
Two ceiling stains in the same corner every spring. The valley had been patched twice before. We opened it, replaced the underlayment and the valley metal, re-laid the shingles.
Where we work
Calhoun County, and a little past it

Emergency leaks: call the number and say it is leaking now. We tarp what we can as soon as we can, then come back with a repair plan once the roof is dry.
Questions
The honest answers
If the answer you get on the phone does not match what is written here, walk away.
How much is the inspection?
Free, and there is nothing to sign. We photograph the roof, the attic and the gutters, and you get the findings whether you hire us or not.
Will you try to sell me a whole roof?
Only if the photos show a roof that is finished: soft deck, leaks in more than one room, or shingles gone across several slopes. If a repair will stop the water, we quote the repair and say so in writing.
Do you work with insurance?
For storm damage, yes. We document the damage, photograph each slope, and meet your adjuster on site. What your policy covers is your insurer's decision, not ours, and we will not tell you a claim is approved before they do.
How fast can you get out?
Inspections usually within two business days. Active leaks get triaged as soon as we can where we can, with a tarp to stop the water until the repair is scheduled.
What about the work you do?
Repairs carry a two-year workmanship warranty, in writing, on the part we touched. Materials carry the manufacturer's own coverage. Full replacements are quoted separately with the shingle and the warranty spelled out before anything is ordered.
Book the inspection
Tell us what you are seeing
A stain, shingles in the yard, a letter from the insurer, or a roof you just want a second opinion on. We call back as soon as we can.
Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm. Saturday mornings for inspections. If it is leaking now, call rather than type.
