Tell us when it leaks
The address, where the water shows, and when: every rain, heavy rain only, wind-driven rain only, or after the rain has stopped.
The attic, then the roof
Where there is an attic, the water is traced there first, because the stain is rarely under the hole.
A written account and quote
What failed, what did not, and the repair priced on its own. Anything that can safely wait is written down as such.
The work, then the walkaround
Shingles woven in, flashing renewed rather than smeared with sealant, photographs before and after.
What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Note which rain brings itEvery shower, only a downpour, or only rain with wind behind it. If it is wind, note which side of the house the weather came from.
- Note when it starts and stopsDoes the drip start with the rain, an hour into it, or after it has stopped? A drip that runs on for hours means water is stored somewhere above the ceiling.

Call (832) 520-2505Note 01What is the downside to a metal roof?
For a repair, the downside is its fasteners. Exposed screws rely on rubber washers that perish with years of sun, and laps and trims can work loose in wind. Both are small fixes when caught, and both show up as leaks with a pattern.
Note 02Why does my metal roof leak only when it is windy?
Because wind pushes rain sideways into the side laps and under the ridge and end trims, where straight-down rain never reaches. Those laps and trims, on the side facing the weather, are where the search starts.
Note 03Can a leaking metal roof be repaired?
Usually. Most metal leaks are at fasteners, laps, trims or flashing, and each can be replaced or refastened on its own. A panel only needs changing when it is creased or holed through.
