Roof Leak Spot Repairs

Roof leak spot repairs and metal roof screw replacement

Metal roofs are everywhere up here, and their screws back out. Expansion and contraction loosens them over a few winters, the rubber washers crack in the sun, and water finds its way in.

I replace backed-out and stripped screws with oversized ones and new washers, reseal flashing around vents and chimneys, swap out a few damaged shingles, and track down where a leak is actually starting.

Common jobs

  • Replacing backed-out or stripped metal roof screws
  • New sealing washers on exposed fasteners
  • Resealing vent boots and pipe flashing
  • Chimney and skylight flashing touch-ups
  • Replacing a few damaged shingles
  • Tracking down the source of a leak
  • Gutter and downspout re-securing

Scope

Spot repairs only. Full re-roofs, structural repairs, snow removal from roofs and jobs over $1,000 in labor and materials are referred to a licensed roofer.

Roof Leak Spot Repairs: questions

Do you shovel snow off roofs?

No. Roof snow removal needs specialized crews and insurance. I can recommend local snow removal companies.

How do I know if my metal roof screws are failing?

Look for screw heads sitting proud of the panel, rust streaks below fasteners, or cracked washers. If you can see them from the ground, there are probably more.

Can you fix a leak in winter?

Only once the roof is clear and dry. In winter I can find the likely source from inside and do a temporary fix where it's safe, then do the proper repair once the snow is gone.
