Roof & leak repair
Roof Repair in Royse City, Rockwall & DFW
Most leaks do not start where the stain shows up on your ceiling. Water runs along the decking and rafters before it drips, so the fix has to start with finding the real entry point. That is the part Duane takes his time on.
Plenty of roofs only need a repair. If yours is one of them, that is what you will hear from us, with photos of the problem and a price to fix it.
Call before it turns into a bigger job
- A water stain on a ceiling or wall, even a small one
- Missing, lifted or creased shingles after wind
- Flashing pulling away at a wall, chimney or skylight
- Cracked pipe boots around plumbing vents
- A musty smell or damp insulation in the attic
- Shingle pieces or granules in the yard after a storm
Where roof leaks usually come from
After years of looking at roofs around Rockwall County, the same handful of spots account for most leaks. Duane checks every one of them, not just the area over the stain:
- Pipe boots, the rubber collars around plumbing vents, which crack in Texas sun
- Valleys, where two slopes meet and carry the most water
- Step and wall flashing where the roof meets siding or brick
- Chimney and skylight flashing
- Exhaust vents and ridge vents
- Wind-lifted shingles that no longer seal down
Repair or replace? A straight answer
A repair makes sense when the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the roof has life left in it. When the shingles themselves are worn out across the roof, a patch just moves the leak somewhere else.
Duane will tell you which one you are dealing with and why, and show you the pictures that back it up. You decide from there, with no pressure either way.
Emergency tarping
When a storm opens up a roof and more rain is coming, the first job is to keep water out of the house. Call Duane and we will get it covered so you can deal with repairs and insurance without the inside getting worse.

Questions
Roof Repair questions
Can you find a leak that other roofers could not?
We will look everywhere water can get in, not just over the stain: flashing, valleys, pipe boots, vents and the attic. If we cannot pin it down from the roof, we will tell you that plainly rather than guess and charge you for it.
Is a small leak worth fixing right away?
Yes. A slow leak soaks decking and insulation long before you see a stain, and wet wood is what turns a repair into a replacement. The inspection is free, so there is no reason to wait.
Do you do emergency roof repairs?
Call Duane at (214) 545-8133. When a storm opens up a roof, we tarp it to keep water out of the house first, then handle the permanent repair.
