01
Tile roofs
Broken or displaced tiles are only the visible symptom. I trace the water path through valleys, transitions, flashing and the underlayment below the tile before recommending a repair.

Find the leak. Fix the cause.
A roof leak is rarely as simple as the stain on the ceiling. I inspect the roof, attic and interior evidence to find where water is getting in — then explain what I found before repair work begins.
Repair before replacement
Not every roof problem needs a new roof.
A focused repair may be the right answer when the roofing system still has useful life and the failure can be isolated. If the damage is too widespread for a dependable repair, I will tell you that too.
My job is to give you clear evidence and a professional recommendation — repair, replacement, or no action — so you can decide what makes sense for your home.
Roofing systems I repair
Different materials fail in different ways.
02
Asphalt shingle roofs
Missing shingles, exposed decking, failed flashing and installation shortcuts can all let water in. The repair has to restore the complete water-shedding system, not just cover the opening.
03
Modified bitumen roofs
Low-slope roof leaks often develop around seams, penetrations, drains, edges and old patches. I inspect the field membrane and every transition where water can enter.
What roof leaks look like
The visible damage is only the beginning of the investigation.
These are real conditions from tile, asphalt shingle and modified bitumen roofs, along with the attic and interior damage a leak can leave behind.
Interior evidence
Ceiling stains show where water became visible — not necessarily where it entered the roof.
Hidden damage
Opening a damaged ceiling can reveal wet materials and the route water followed through the structure.
Attic inspection
Moisture patterns below the roof deck help connect interior damage to the source above.
Tile roof damage
Broken field and valley tiles can expose the roof's underlying water-control layers.
Shingle roof damage
Exposed decking needs more than a surface patch; the surrounding assembly must be restored correctly.
Low-slope roofing
Seams, penetrations, perimeter metal and old patches are critical checkpoints on modified bitumen roofs.
Clear documentation
Marked inspection photos make widespread damage and likely water-entry points easier to understand.
Whole-roof review
An overall view helps reveal how separate defects may connect across a complex tile roof.
A repair process you can follow
You should understand the problem before you approve the solution.
01
Trace the leak
Water can travel along decking, framing and insulation before it reaches the ceiling. I work backward from the interior evidence to the most likely entry points.
02
Show you what I find
You see photos of the roof, attic and interior conditions so you can understand the problem and make an informed decision.
03
Repair the system
The repair is matched to the roofing system and the actual failure — including damaged materials beneath the surface when they need attention.
04
Finish the interior
When requested, I can also repair damaged drywall, match texture and paint after the source of the leak is corrected and the area is dry.
Water coming in now?
Start with a call, text and a few photos.
Tell me what you are seeing and when it started. Photos of the ceiling, attic or roof help me understand the urgency and the right next step.
