Our Process
How a roofing job runs in La Porte, step by step: the call, the written quote, the work and the final walkthrough — and the less expensive option named when there is one.
Four steps, start to finish
Tell us when it leaks; the search starts there, and a written quote comes before any work.
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.

Write down when it leaks, before a roofer comes out
What to note from inside the house, and how soon the leak needs a roofer.
Note which rain brings it
Every 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 stops
Does the drip start with the rain, an hour into it, or after it has stopped?
Mark where it shows
Which room, which corner, near a light, a vent or an outside wall. A photograph of the stain with a date on it helps more than a description.
Catch it and keep clear
A bucket under the drip and belongings moved. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture, and do not climb a wet roof to look.
How soon your leak needs a roofer
Worth knowing before you start calling around, because after a storm every roofer on the bay gets called at once.
Not every leak is the same emergency. Water near a light fixture, a ceiling that bulges, or water coming in faster than a bucket fills is a same-day call. A drip only in the heaviest rain, caught in a bucket, can wait for a booking without getting much worse.
The timing tells you which you have. A leak in every rain, or one that drips on for hours after it, is wetting the same wood again and again and should be booked soon. A leak that only shows when wind drives the rain at one side can usually wait for a dry day.
