You have seen the odd shingle go missing and have not made that call yet. Or perhaps you are left to wonder if the small mark on your ceiling is of any consequence. In the back of your mind you are telling yourself the roof will see out another season.

But those are the kinds of questions that end up costing a homeowner. We at Specialist Roofing and Repair put an end to that for our clients. Since 2011 we have been there for families in Southern California and it is always the same story: what was a minor oversight in the fall is an emergency to be had over come winter. To avoid the expense, give us a ring at (747) 307-5518.

There is a reason to act in the fall and save some money.

The Case for Timing in Southern California

We have our long dry spells here and then the rain comes down hard. The dry weather can be misleading; it allows a roof problem to make itself known without so much as a leak. One day a storm comes and all the weak spots are exposed.

That is when the phone starts ringing. An emergency repair in the middle of a downpour will set you back more than one put in place when the weather is good. With the clear skies of September or October you can put things right on your own timetable, rather than have a storm dictate it.

Do Not Let a Small Thing Become a Big One

A bit of worn flashing or a cracked tile is no great repair. But water has a way of moving along the framing and into the insulation before it makes an appearance on your ceiling. The stain you spot is only part of the story.

A fall repair nips in the bud any number of issues:

• Roof decking that has rotted and needs replacing
• Insulation that is no longer doing its job
• Drywall and ceiling stains from water damage
• Mold in the attic or inside walls
• Electrical runs compromised by wet framing
• The kind of bill you get when work is done in a hurry

It is better to keep the repair modest.

Our Inspections

We do not inspect to put something over on you. We want to see where your roof is likely to give way to water pressure. On a typical inspection of a Southern California roof we will be checking:

• Any tiles or shingles that are missing, slipped or have a crack in them
• Flashing at the skylights, vents and chimneys
• Penetration points and sealant in poor order
• How the gutters are flowing
• Flat or low-slope roofs for ponding
• Soft spots that could mean trouble with the decking

An honest estimate is included with our free inspection so you know where you stand.

Then There Are the Gutters

Your roof is of little use if the water cannot get away from it. Sagging or clogged gutters will send it under the edges and against the foundation. We install gutters and make sure the system is in order for the rains.
