Roof Repair in Sanford, FL

Leaks, flashing, valleys and wind-lifted shingles — Sanford, Seminole County.

On a steep Sanford roof the shingles in the middle of a slope are rarely the problem. Water leaves a steep pitch fast. What fails is the detail: the cheek of a dormer, the point where a valley meets a wall, the flashing around a chimney that has moved half an inch in eighty years.

Those are repairs, and they are the ones worth finding properly rather than sealing over.

Roof Repair in Sanford

Old chimneys are the Sanford special. A masonry chimney on a century-old house has settled, and the flashing that was fitted to it has been asked to accommodate that movement ever since. Sealant over old flashing is the classic wrong answer here — it works for one dry season and hides the problem for whoever owns the house next.

Questions about roof repair in Sanford

Water comes in near the chimney. Is that the chimney or the roof?
Usually the flashing between the two, and on a house this age usually because the chimney has moved. Replacing the flashing is the fix; sealing over it is the thing that gets done instead.
The roof is steep. Can it be repaired safely?
Yes, with the right setup, which is exactly why a steep roof repair costs more than a shallow one. Anybody quoting it the same has not looked at it.
Can you match old shingles?
Closely, rarely exactly — colours change over decades of sun. On a visible slope we will tell you honestly how noticeable the repair will be before doing it.
