What is roof repair?

We perform a roof repair when someone has a roof leak that needs to be fixed. A roof repair can be done when it is a small part of the roof that the leaks are occurring under.

A roof repair is usually an emergency repair because a problem has developed in one area of the roof. A roof repair is often a shorter-term solution because it is the first sign that the roof needs replacement. With a roof repair, you can delay replacing your roof for some time.

Sometimes roof repair is also necessary after storm damage. With storm damage, you may get “lucky” and only have a small leak. We can often fix this with a roof repair. Do you have a lot of storm damage and have multiple leaks? Then it is often necessary to renovate or completely replace the roof. A roof repair is then not enough.

Is a roof repair insured?

If a repair needs to be made to your roof, you’re probably wondering if insurance will cover it. Roof leaks, in some cases, are considered overdue maintenance. This may mean that the insurance company will not reimburse you for the roof repair.

Do you have a regular roof inspection and is the leak not a result of overdue maintenance? Then your roof repair will generally always be reimbursed. Roof repair as a result of storm damage is also actually always reimbursed by an insurer, because this is not something you can prepare for.

Having roof inspections performed is often crucial for the insurer. So our advice is to have an inspection done once a year. The chance of a roof leak and the associated roof repair is then also many times smaller.
