Roof Repair in Dothan, AL

Most roof problems in Dothan start small: a few shingles lifted by a summer storm, a cracked rubber boot around a vent pipe, or flashing that's pulled loose at a chimney or wall. Caught early, these are usually quick, affordable repairs. Left alone, water works its way into the decking, insulation, and drywall, and the repair bill grows.

Common Roof Repairs in Dothan

• Leak tracing and repair. Water often shows up far from where it gets in. A roofer follows it back to the source.
• Missing or wind-damaged shingles. Replacing and sealing shingles that blew off or creased in high wind.
• Pipe boot replacement. Those rubber seals where vent pipes poke through the roof dry out and split under years of Alabama sun and are one of the most common leak sources.
• Flashing repair. Resealing or replacing metal flashing at chimneys, walls, skylights, and valleys.
• Valley repair. Valleys carry the most water and collect pine straw, so they wear out first.
• Soffit and fascia repair. Fixing rotted trim boards and gaps where water or animals get in.
• Emergency tarping. Temporary protection after storm or tree damage until permanent repairs can be made.

What to Do If Your Roof Is Leaking Right Now

1. Move valuables and electronics away from the leak and put down a bucket or towels.
2. If water is pooling in a ceiling bulge, carefully poke a small hole to drain it into a bucket. This prevents a larger collapse.
3. Take photos of the ceiling, the attic if it's safe, and any visible roof damage.
4. Don't climb onto a wet roof. Call a roofer who can inspect and tarp it safely.

When a Repair Isn't Enough

Once the shingles have aged out, water is getting in at several spots, or has had the same area patched more than once, a repair may only buy a little time. A good roofer will tell you honestly whether repair or roof replacement makes more sense, and show you photos of what they found.
