Need roof leak repair in Santa Barbara? We come look first, tell you plainly what it needs, and put the price in writing before anything starts.
A leak in a Santa Barbara house almost never announces where it started. Water runs down decking and along rafters before it finally shows on a ceiling, so we work backward from the stain to the real point of entry and fix that.
Our roof leak repair work in Santa Barbara is handled by crews who do this every week, not by whoever happened to be free that morning. It shows up in the details — valleys, chimney flashing, eave and ridge closures — because that is where roofs actually leak.
We schedule your Santa Barbara roof leak repair for a stretch of dry weather, keep the job site picked up as we go, and do not leave a roof open overnight. When it is done the tear off is hauled away and a magnet goes over the drive.
Four steps and no surprises. This is how we have done it since 2002.
Where the attic is accessible we go up with a light and follow the tracks back toward the entry point.
If it is not obvious we test with water rather than guessing and charging you for a repair that fixes nothing.
We repair what is letting water in rather than the symptom, which usually means reworking flashing instead of adding more sealant.
You get photographs of anything we spot, with no obligation to do a thing about it today.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
We can usually get a Santa Barbara roof covered and stop the water in the middle of weather, but the permanent repair waits for a dry stretch. Sealing something wet just means doing it twice.
