Year Warranty
Ignoring a small leak today can lead to thousands of dollars in structural rot tomorrow. At The Seattle Roofing Company, we specialize in surgical roof repairs. We don't just patch the symptom; we identify the root cause using advanced leak tracing methods. Our goal is to extend the life of your existing roof for as long as possible with cost-effective, lasting solutions.
Advanced Leak Diagnostics
Water travels in unpredictable paths. A stain on your ceiling may originate twenty feet away on the roof. Our technicians act as detectives, tracing water intrusion paths from the attic to the exterior. We inspect collar ties, pipe boots, valley metal, and chimney crickets to pinpoint the exact entry point before we ever pick up a tool.
Matching and Blending Shingles
A patch shouldn't look like a patch. We go the extra mile to source shingles that match your existing roof's color and granule blend. While weathering makes a 100% perfect match impossible, our extensive supplier network allows us to find the closest match available, ensuring your repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding area.
Flashing and Chimney Restoration
90% of leaks occur at penetrations. We meticulously repair or replace corroded step flashing, counter flashing, and skylight kits. For chimneys, we often install new custom-bent metal crickets to divert water away from the masonry, solving persistent leak issues that sealant alone cannot fix.
Honest "Repair vs. Replace" Assessment
We believe in transparency. If a repair will buy you another 5-10 years, we'll do it. However, if the damage is systemic or your shingles have lost their granule coating, we will provide an honest assessment and explain why a replacement might be the more financially sound option, preventing you from throwing good money after bad.
We stand behind our repairs with a rock-solid workmanship warranty. Whether it's a single missing shingle or a complex valley repair, you can trust our team to restore your home's integrity quickly and professionally.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need repair vs replacement?
Generally, if damage is localized (under 30% of the roof) and your roof is under 15 years old, repair is often the best option. If the roof is old and failing generally, replacement is more cost-effective.
Do you offer warranties on repairs?
Yes, all our repairs come with a workmanship warranty, typically 1-5 years depending on the scope of work, giving you peace of mind that the fix will last.
Can you match my existing shingle color?
We do our absolute best to match your existing shingles. While weathering makes a perfect match difficult, we use color-matching guides to find the closest available option.
How much does a typical roof repair cost?
Minor repairs often range from $350-$1,000, while more extensive damage can cost $1,500+. We provide a firm, upfront price before starting any work.
Do you repair metal roofs?
Yes, we repair metal roofing, including fixing loose fasteners, resealing seams, and replacing damaged panels.
Can you fix a leak around my chimney?
Absolutely. Chimney flashing is a common leak source. We can re-flash the chimney and install a cricket (diverter) if needed to solve the problem permanently.
What causes most roof leaks?
The most common causes are failed flashing (around vents/chimneys), missing shingles, ice dams, and clogged gutters backing water up under the shingles.
Do you offer emergency tarping?
Yes, if we can't complete the full repair immediately (due to weather or darkness), we will securely tarp the area to stop the leak until we can return.
Will you inspect the rest of my roof?
Yes, while we focus on the repair, we will visually inspect the entire roof to alert you to any other potential issues.
Can you repair skylight leaks?
Yes, we can re-flash leaking skylights. If the unit itself is failing (foggy glass, cracked frame), we may recommend replacement.
Do you fix moss damage?
Yes, we can gently remove moss and repair any shingle damage it caused. We also offer treatments to prevent it from coming back.
Is it safe to repair a roof in the rain?
We can perform emergency tarping in the rain, but permanent repairs usually require dry conditions for sealants to cure properly.
Do I need to be home for the repair?
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the roof and a way to reach you for approval, we can complete the work while you are away.
Do you repair cedar shake roofs?
Yes, we can replace individual split or missing cedar shakes and install metal shims (bibs) to cover exposed felt.
Will my insurance cover the repair?
If the damage is from a covered peril like wind or a fallen tree, yes. We can help you determine if it's worth filing a claim based on your deductible.
