Dependable roof leak repair for Elmwood Park homeowners from Roofing Brothers — measured on site, done on schedule, and cleaned up after.
If your Elmwood Park roof has been caulked twice and still leaks, the caulk was never the answer. Most of the stubborn ones come down to flashing at a chimney or wall, a valley that was never lapped right, or fasteners that have backed out.
When a Elmwood Park homeowner calls us about roof leak repair, the first thing we do is come look. Somebody from the crew gets on the roof, checks the decking, flashing and fasteners, and works out what the job actually needs before a number is ever written down.
You get a written estimate for the roof leak repair on your Elmwood Park home with the materials named and the price broken out, and that estimate is free. If we find something once the work starts, we stop, show you, and price it before we go any further.
What to expect once you call us out to look at your roof.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
If it is not obvious we test with water rather than guessing and charging you for a repair that fixes nothing.
Materials get matched as close as we can so the repair blends into the roof around it.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
Straight answers, no sales talk.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Elmwood Park ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We fix the roof so it stops. Drywall and insulation repair inside a Elmwood Park home is a different trade, and we will tell you that honestly rather than pretending it is part of the roofing job.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Elmwood Park homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Yes, and it is included. A Elmwood Park roof old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting, and we would rather show you the photographs now than come back in six months.
Our reputation is just the roofs behind us.
"Great job and wonderful to work with. Fantastic metal roof on the addition to the front of our home. Highly recommend!"
"Green metal over the whole house and the carport. Looks sharp, and it is quiet inside when it rains, which honestly surprised me."
"Cannot say enough about how careful they were around the flower beds. Everything got covered and nothing was trampled."
