Roof leak repair, storm damage and roof inspections

Most roof repair calls here start with a stain on a ceiling. Others start with shingles in the yard after a windy night. We come out, find where the water is getting in, and show you what we found. A small repair stays small when it gets handled early.

We repair asphalt shingle roofs and metal roofs on houses, shops, barns and outbuildings across Whidbey and Camano Island. That covers leaks, flashing, valleys, skylights, vents and wind damage. When a roof is too far gone to patch, we say so and price a roof replacement instead. The estimate is free either way.

What We Handle

  • Roof leak tracing and repair at flashing, valleys, vents and skylights
  • Step and counter flashing replaced at chimneys, walls and dormers
  • Wind-lifted, cracked and missing shingles replaced and sealed down
  • Cracked plumbing vent boots and failed pipe flashing replaced
  • Tree and branch damage: tarping, stabilizing and permanent repair
  • Soft decking and rotted sheathing cut out and replaced under the repair area
  • Roof inspections and repair-versus-replace consultations with a free estimate
  • An itemized scope of storm damage you can hand to your insurance company

Where do roof leaks on Whidbey Island start?

The wet spot on your ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. Water runs along the underside of the deck before it drops. So we start on the roof and work back toward the stain. Most leaks sit where something breaks the roof surface.

The usual spots are step flashing at a wall and counter flashing at a chimney. Rubber boots around plumbing vents crack and let water past. Valleys pack with fir needles and hold water instead of moving it. Skylight flashing gives out long before the glass does.

Gutters that stay full back water up under the roof edge, and that reads as a roof leak inside. When they are sagging or rusted through, we price new gutters and downspouts with the repair. Shade under big firs keeps a roof damp, and moss takes hold on the north side. We wrote up what moss does to shingles here and when that damage goes past a repair.

Storm damage roof repair and emergency tarping

Island storms take shingles off ridges and gable ends first. A falling branch can go through decking in one gust. Put a bucket under the drip and move what is under it. Take photos from the ground and stay off the roof.

Emergency roof repair here runs in three steps. We tarp the opening so the inside stops taking water. We stabilize anything loose or unsafe on the roof. Then we come back and do the real repair once the full scope is priced.

Storm and tree damage often turns into an insurance claim. We itemize the scope of what got damaged and what the repair takes, in writing. You hand that to your insurance company and work the claim with them. We did exactly that for a homeowner on a storm damage roof and siding repair.

Roof inspections and the repair or replace decision

Plenty of the calls we get come down to one question. Is this roof done, or can it be fixed? We come out, get on the roof where it is safe, and look at all of it. Then we tell you which way we would go and why.

A repair holds up when the shingles around the damage still have granules and flex. It holds up when the failure sits in one area of the roof. We say so when a roof is past that point. Patching a worn-out roof buys a season and then you pay again.

Age matters too. Roofs here take rain nine months a year plus wind on the bluffs. When a roof is in its last few years, a repair only buys time. A metal roof is worth pricing next to another shingle roof before you decide.

Call or text us

Reach us at (360) 544-9655 and tell us what the roof is doing. We set a time to come out and look at it.

2

The look and the estimate

We get up on the roof and check the decking, flashing, venting and gutters. Then you get the scope and the price in writing. The estimate is free.

You pick the shingle line and color, or the metal panel profile and color. Our shingle color page shows every CertainTeed color side by side. We order the material and set a start date around the weather.

Tear-off comes first, then decking repair where the wood is soft. Underlayment, flashing, the new roof and the venting go on in order.

The old roofing leaves with us and the ground gets cleaned up. Then we go over the finished job with you and hand over the paperwork.

FAQ

Roof Repair Questions, Answered

Common questions about roof repair across Whidbey Island, Camano Island and the Skagit side. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (360) 544-9655

How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on what is leaking and how much of the roof it touches. One flashing repair is a different job than a section of soft decking. We come out, get on the roof, and give you a free estimate before any work starts. Call or text (360) 544-9655 to set that up.
Can you repair a roof leak without replacing the whole roof?
Usually, yes. When the rest of the roof still has life in it, a repair is the right call. Roof leak repair is most of what we do on older shingle roofs. When the whole roof is worn out, we tell you that instead of patching it.
Do you handle emergency roof repair after a storm?
We do storm damage roof repair. The first visit is about getting the roof covered and anything loose made safe. The full repair follows once we can see the whole scope. Call or text (360) 544-9655 and tell us what happened.
What happens during a roof inspection?
We look at the shingles, the flashing, the valleys and every penetration on the roof. We check the decking where we can get eyes on it. Then you get a plain read on what is failing and what it takes to fix. The inspection comes with the free estimate.
What if there is rot under the shingles?
It happens on roofs that have leaked for a while. We cut out the soft decking and replace it before the new shingles go on. If the water got into fascia or soffit, that becomes wood rot repair by the same crew. You see the added scope and what it costs before we do it.
Do I need a permit for a roof repair?
Island County says new and replacement roofing projects require a building permit. A small repair is a different scope, so we check with the office that covers your address first. The county takes applications through its online Public Portal. Oak Harbor, Coupeville and Langley run permits inside their own city limits.

They installed a new metal roof on the house we purchased and were able to start quickly which meant it was nearly done by the time we moved in. We had a great experience working with Jeff who was very helpful with suggestions on some cosmetic changes we made and the entire roof and gables came out nicely. Very pleased with this company and would recommend them to anyone on Whidbey looking for roofing or siding work.

Whidbey Roof and Siding did an outstanding job. Very professional! No playing games came in with the lowest bid. We did run into a few surprises, but Jeff was very clear and transparent about what it would take to correct the issue. Very glad I had someone who could deal with the issues. As one recent visitor said the skylight looks like it was here all along and not an after thought addition. Highly recommend
