Ensure your home stays safe with professional roof repair

Sometimes your roof whispers. Sometimes it screams. Either way, something about your home is telling you “Hey… look up.”

Here’s how you know you’re in the right place:

You’ve noticed missing shingles or cracked shingles, which are a common early warning sign of roof damage.
There are roof leaks or water stains on your ceiling.
You see granules from shingles collecting in your gutters.
You spot sagging or uneven areas on your roof.

Timely roof repair and maintenance not only protect your home's structure but also help preserve and enhance your home's appearance.

Catching little roof issues, like cracked shingles or minor leaks, and addressing issues early can prevent them from turning into major, costly roof repairs. Regular inspections help you spot these problems before they escalate.

You caught a fresh brown stain on your ceiling and immediately googled “roof repair near me.”
It’s okay to panic Googling is normal. Roof Leaks rarely fix themselves, and your search led you here for a reason.
You found shingles in the yard after the last windstorm.
Shingles don’t just take casual walks. If they’re on the lawn, something bigger is happening up top.
Your insurance mentioned “possible roof repairs” after a recent inspection.
Translations: they saw something. And if they saw something, you need a second look before it becomes expensive.
You’re unsure whether you need a simple professional roof repair or a full replacement.
Good news, most homeowners don’t know either. That’s why we start with clear photos and real explanations.
You keep delaying a small leak because you’re afraid of a big bill.
Totally normal. But small leaks grow up fast and become very expensive adults. You’re smart for checking now.

Here are the issues we diagnose and repair most often:

Active roof leaks around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and vents
Storm and wind damage to shingles or flashing
Nail pops, loose shingles, and exposed fasteners
Moss and debris buildup that starts eating the roof surface
Algae growth and rot caused by moisture, which can lead to further roof damage if not addressed
Damaged flashing that can result in leaks and water intrusion
Aging shingles that need targeted repairs to buy safe extra years
Leaks that keep coming back because the last contractor “patched” instead of fixing the root cause

Addressing these common issues promptly can help extend your roof's lifespan and prevent more costly repairs in the future.

We also provide moss removal and gutter cleaning services to help maintain your roof and prevent future issues.

FAQ'S ABOUT ROOF INSPECTIONS

STEP 2 - ROOF REPAIR OPTIONS, ROOF REPAIR COST, AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Once the inspection is done, we lay out your real choices. No upsells. No guessing. Just clear roof repair options, transparent pricing, and honest guidance from a professional roof repair contractor.

ROOF REPAIR OPTIONS

Every detail, every cost, and every choice in writing

LINE ITEM ROOF REPAIR ESTIMATE

You see exactly what each part of your repair costs. Shingle replacement, flashing correction, leak repair, ventilation adjustments, labor time, and new materials are all listed clearly so you know what you are paying for and why. You receive a full line item breakdown plus a lump sum total so you understand exactly what the complete price covers with no surprises, no hidden add ons, and no vague wording.

ROOF REPAIR VS REPLACEMENT BREAKDOWN

We walk through the pros and cons with you. Roof age, leak severity, decking condition, flashing issues, and long term value all matter. You see real evidence and photos so you can choose confidently.

URGENT VS OPTIONAL REPAIRS

Not every repair has to happen right away. We label items as urgent, recommended, or preventative so you can prioritize based on budget and timing.

MATERIAL AND METHOD TRANSPARENCY

Everything installed on your roof is brand new, sourced from the store, and installed correctly. No leftover materials. No slip on parts. No surface caulking that hides the problem instead of fixing it.

ROOF REPAIR COST

Most homeowners ask the same thing.

"What is this roof repair going to cost me?"

The cost depends on what is damaged, how deep the issue goes, and how many roof components must be restored. Below is how real roof repair pricing works in Vancouver WA.

CHEAP ROOF REPAIRS VS PROPER ROOF REPAIRS

Most pricing differences come down to methods and materials.

Cheap roof repairs that do not last often cost between $100 and $750. These repairs rely on caulk, spray sealants, slip on pipe boots, or reused materials. They are fast, temporary, and usually fail within months, especially in the Pacific Northwest weather.

Proper repairs using the right materials and correct installation usually cost between $750 and $4500. These repairs involve removing damaged shingles, inspecting and repairing the decking, replacing underlayment, correcting flashing, installing new branded materials, and restoring the roof system the way it was designed to perform. These repairs last, protect your home, and stop leaks for good.

A clear example shows the difference.

A cheap repair slips a Home Depot pipe boot over the old one and smears caulk around it.
A proper repair removes the old boot, lifts the shingles, replaces the underlayment, installs a brand new boot, and reinstalls new shingles correctly.

REPAIR QUALITY & COST COMPARISON TABLE

REPAIR TYPE	PRICE RANGE	WHAT IT INCLUDES	WHY IT LASTS OR FAILS
CHEAP ROOF REPAIR	$100 TO $750	Slip on boot, caulk, spray sealant, reused materials, surface patches	Fails fast in rain, blocks water temporarily, does not correct the real issue, not installed to roofing standards
PROPER ROOF REPAIR	$750 TO $4500	Remove shingles, inspect decking, repair or replace bad wood, install new underlayment, correct flashing, install new branded materials, reinstall shingles properly	Long lasting, fixes the source of the leak, restores system function, protects home value

What roof repair options do I actually have, and which one is right for my home?
You typically have three levels of repair options:

Temporary Patch (short-term band-aid): This is a quick fix meant to stop active leaking but not solve the underlying cause. These are things like caulking over a torn shingle or sliding a cheap vent boot sleeve over an old one. Good for emergency rain situations, not good for long-term durability.
Standard Repair (most homes fall here): This is where the roofer removes damaged materials, replaces shingles, resets flashing, installs proper underlayment, and ensures the leak source is actually corrected. This is the industry-standard repair done “the right way.”
Comprehensive Repair (larger issues or multiple failures): This addresses bigger areas or multiple problem points. Think chimney flashing replacement, bad ventilation corrections, rotted decking replacement, or several leak sources at once.

If your roofer doesn’t explain these options clearly, they’re not being transparent.
Why do roof repair prices range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand?
Because you’re not paying for “a fix.”
You’re paying for what’s required to make the roof functional again.

Price drivers include:

Size of the damaged area
How hard it is to access
How many layers must be removed
Whether flashing must be redone
Whether decking is rotten
Type of shingles/material
How much labor is involved
Whether the repair is simple vs structural

A proper repair requires removing old materials, installing new underlayment, and rebuilding the affected section — not just smearing caulk on a problem that will come back.
What do cheap roof repairs actually cover (and why don’t they last)?
Cheap repairs ($100–$750) often include:

Caulk over a crack
A pre-made pipe boot sleeve slid over the old one
A shingle glued back down
Minimal work, no tear-off, no new underlayment

These repairs do not fix the underlying cause. They’re quick, temporary, and usually fail again because water gets under old materials that were never removed.

Cheap repairs are popular because they look inexpensive upfront, but they often turn into multiple call-backs or interior water damage later.
What does a “proper” roof repair include (and why does it cost more)?
Proper roof repairs ($750–$4,500) include:

Removing damaged shingles
Removing the old pipe boot or flashing
Pulling up underlayment around the leak
Inspecting decking for rot
Replacing materials with brand-new components
Reinstalling proper flashing
Installing new shingles that match
Full sealing and water-proofing
Clean-up, photos, and a workmanship warranty

This is why proper repairs last.
They eliminate the root cause, rebuild the section correctly, and bring the roof back to manufacturer-standard installation.
What should I expect after the roof repair and how do I know it’s actually fixed?
A reputable roofing company will:

Provide before, during, and after photos
Show exactly what was removed and replaced
Explain the cause of the leak
Provide a workmanship warranty
Walk you through prevention steps

After heavy rain, you should expect no new stains, no drips, and no moisture readings.
If the roofer cannot prove the repair or won’t show photos, that’s a red flag.
Why should a roof repair estimate always include line item pricing?
Because homeowners deserve to know what they’re paying for and why.

A clear line-item estimate might show:

Shingle removal and replacement
Flashing correction
Vent boot replacement
Underlayment repair
Labor hours
Materials
Optional upgrades
Taxes
Cleanup and disposal

This prevents surprise costs, helps compare quotes fairly, and shows exactly what the roofer is responsible for.

A lump sum alone is not enough — the homeowner should see the breakdown so there’s no confusion about what the repair includes.

STEP 3 IS ROOF REPAIR DAY & FOLLOW UP

Repair day should never feel chaotic or unclear. Our roof repair contractor team shows up prepared, protects your property, fixes the root cause, and leaves your home cleaner than we found it.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING YOUR ROOF REPAIR

Smooth, structured, and fully documented.

A Professional Roof Repair Crew in Uniform

Trained, background-checked technicians arrive ready to repair shingles, flashing, underlayment, or leak areas using manufacturer-approved methods.

Property & Landscaping Protection

We protect your yard, plants, driveway, deck, and exterior surfaces with tarps and work zones before any roof work begins.

Targeted Roof Repair That Fixes the Real Problem

Whether it’s a valley leak, chimney flashing issue, storm-damaged shingles, or an attic moisture path — we address the root cause, not just the symptom.

Full Cleanup & Magnetic Nail Sweep

We leave no mess behind. Nails, shingle pieces, debris — everything is removed. Your home should look untouched, except for a repaired roof.

After Photos Showing Exactly What Was Repaired

You receive clear photos of the completed roof repair so you know what was fixed, why it matters, and how the solution protects your home.

ROOF REPAIR DAY QUESTIONS

How Long Will the Roof Repair Take?
Small repairs take a few hours. Larger residential roof repair projects may take most of the day depending on roof pitch, access, and weather.
Do I Have to Be Off Work?
No. Many homeowners work from home or leave for the day. We communicate arrival windows clearly, and you’ll hear from us before the crew wraps up.
What Happens If There’s Bad Weather?
If weather threatens, we tarp and protect the repair area immediately or reschedule. Your home’s safety always comes before the schedule.

ROOF REPAIR VS ROOF REPLACEMENT - WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU HOME?

Most homeowners ask the same question: “Should I repair my roof or replace it?”

There’s no guesswork here. We walk you through a simple, evidence-based process that shows which option protects your home, your money, and your long-term plans.

HOW WE DETERMINE THE BEST LONG TERM CHOICE FOR YOUR PROPERTY

Smooth, structured, and fully documented.

Roof Age & Overall Condition

Older roofs or brittle shingles may not hold repairs well. Newer roofs typically respond great to professional roof repair and can safely gain years of extra life.

Size & Location of the Damage

Local damage — a valley leak, chimney flashing issue, or a section of lifted shingles — usually leans toward targeted roof repair instead of full replacement.

History of Past Repairs

Multiple past patch jobs in the same area often signal a deeper issue. We document patterns and show whether repair is still wise or becoming short-lived.

Hidden Roof System Issues

Poor attic ventilation, moss damage, or wet decking underneath shingles can change the recommendation. We check these during the inspection so nothing is left unknown.

Your Budget & Plans for the Home

Staying long-term? Selling soon? Renting it out?

Your goals influence whether repair or replacement is the better strategic move.

ROOF REPAIR VS ROOF REPLACEMENT

When Roof Repair Makes Sense

Lower cost upfront
Minimal disruption to your daily life
Ideal when 85–90% of the roof is still in good shape
Perfect for localized issues like flashing repair or shingle damage
Regular roofing maintenance supports the effectiveness of targeted repairs and helps prevent future costly damage
A smart way to extend roof life without overspending

Roof repair is often the best value — especially when the roof system is still healthy and the damage is isolated.

When Roof Replacement Is the Stronger Choice

Higher upfront cost, but major long-term payoff
Full reset of roof structure, underlayment, ventilation, and shingles
Best when damage exists in multiple areas
Ideal if repairs would only last a short time
Includes full manufacturer + workmanship warranties

Replacement becomes smart when the roof is aging, repairs would be temporary, or multiple areas are failing at once.

The Honesty Promise (Most Contractors Avoid This Part)

If a safe, long-lasting repair is possible, we recommend repair.
We’ll show you photos, explain the fix, and help you avoid spending money before you need to.

If a repair would be a temporary band-aid, we’ll tell you that too.
You’ll know why, what the risks are, and what a replacement would solve long-term.

This is how licensed roof repair should work — clarity, honesty, and options, not pressure.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR ROOF REPAIRS

CHRIS BARDOS

Valiant is an exceptional roofing company. I had them replace a deck that was on top of my garage in 2023, and they ended up replacing the entire front siding of my house as part of the extensive repairs necessary to stop the leaking. They installed an awesome vinyl deck top and new railing that looks sharp. Later, when there was a new leak in my garage, they came out same day and repaired it free of charge - even though the leak had nothing to do with the deck they installed. It’s rare to find a company that does exceptional work, and even more rare to find one that stands by their craftsmanship without question. Jack and Kendra and the entire Valiant team are those people. They are the best contractor i know and I’ll never look to another roofing company so long as they remain in business.

ANDREW CHEN

Jack and his team were wonderful to work with from getting a free no strings attached inspection to ultimately scheduling in the work and seeing the finished product. The roof on a home I just purchased needed a lot of work done to bring it up to code and general repairs due to negligence from the previous company that installed the roof. Jack was very clear on explaining which issues needed to be repaired asap and very importantly which issues could be ignored for now as they would have a low probability for causing serious issues. This to me is the mark of an honest contractor which to be frank are few and far between these days. Bottom line is if you need some roof help or someone to give an honest opinion/quote for a job, do yourself a favor and give them a call.

SD

I had a leak in my roof after a storm which was dripping down into my living room. I called several places that had no one available for at least a week to give me an estimate. I called Valiant and they were able to send Blake out the next day. The repairs were made the morning after that. Great service and turnaround. Blake was wonderful to work with - I appreciate him explaining the issue and providing the before and after photos. I would definitely use them again based on this experience.

PAUL KUTHE

We had a giant limp stab into our mainfloor roof on a REALLY steep pitch during this last storm. I couldn't safely access it on my own so I called Valiant. They had a guy out within the evening to assess the problem and made sure we could make it through the weekend ok. Then Monday they got it all taken care of and patched up. They were communicative and quick, and the repair looks good!

LIZ DONOVAN

We cannot recommend Valiant Roofing enough. We had water coming into our attic from a roof leak and every other company was weeks out to even have it checked. We called Valiant and explained the situation and they sent Aaron out for an inspection the next day. He identified several areas that needed repairs and got us scheduled for the fixes within days. The crew came out and worked hard to make sure everything was fixed. They did a great job and we were really impressed with their dedication and care. They took a lot of time to clean up and make sure there were no nails left behind that could injure our dog. Truly cannot say enough good things about them. Valiant will be our go to for any future roofing needs.

MIKE CHEADLE

Valiant was highly recommended ...Called about a leak ...Came out within a few days....Jace was very knowledgeable and professional. Issue was found in a very short time and low cost but effective recommendation on minor repair was provided. Highly Recommend

We’re the right contractor for homeowners who want honesty, documentation, and long-lasting repairs — not shortcuts.

We May Not Be a Fit If:

You want the absolute cheapest quick fiX
You don’t want photos, documentation, or clear pricing
You’re okay with repairs that might fail within a season

But If This Sounds Like You…

You prefer clear information, real options, and a strong workmanship warranty behind the job,
then you’re exactly the kind of homeowner we built Valiant Roofing for.

REAL ROOF REPAIR PROJECTS SOLVED BY VALIANT ROOFING

BROKEN SHINGLES AFTER WIND DAMAGE

A windstorm tore shingles off a slope. Our roof repair crew replaced the damaged shingles, sealed the repair correctly, and reinforced the surrounding area for long-term durability.

CHEAP PATCH JOB FROM ANOTHER ROOFING CONTRACTOR

A homeowner paid for a “quick fix” that leaked again the next rain. We opened the area, corrected the flashing, repaired the underlayment, and fixed the problem permanently.

FAILING PIPE BOOT CAUSING INTERIOR LEAKS

Cracked pipe boots are one of the most common leak sources. We replaced the failing boot with a high-quality version and sealed the penetration properly to stop the leak for good.

CHIMNEY FLASHING LEAK

Water was getting behind old, poorly installed chimney flashing. Our crew rebuilt the flashing system, sealed transitions, and added counter-flashing to prevent future infiltration.

SKYLIGHT LEAK FROM OLD SEALNT

A skylight had recurring leaks from deteriorated sealant. We re-flashed the entire skylight and added new underlayment, solving a problem multiple contractors had missed. Repairing skylight leaks like this helps preserve natural light in the home, ensuring bright and energy-efficient interiors.

Our roof repair services are designed to solve the real issue—not sell you something you don’t need. Here’s what’s covered when you work with a licensed roof repair contractor.

Improper flashing is one of the top leak sources. We repair and rebuild flashing around chimneys, skylights, walls, vents, and transitions to stop leaks at the root.

Roof Leak Detection & Targeted Roof Repair

Valleys, penetrations, and dead-end areas are common trouble spots. Our team finds the exact leak path and repairs the underlying cause, not just the visible symptom.

Emergency Roof Repair & Temporary Tarping

When a leak can’t wait, we stabilize the area fast, prevent further damage, and schedule permanent repairs as soon as conditions allow.

Moss, Debris & Surface Damage Repair

When moss or debris has begun damaging shingles or lifting flashing, we clean, correct, and restore the affected area before it spreads.

Minor Structural & Decking Repairs

If water has begun to weaken decking, we replace affected sections to ensure the repaired area is strong and safe.

Why Our Repair Approach Saves You Money

Most contractors skip straight to replacement. Our crews are trained to repair first, because a well done repair can often extend roof life safely without unnecessary cost, while also enhancing your home's appearance.

When a repair is safe, durable, and cost-effective, we recommend it. When replacement is the better long term move, we explain why, with photos, options, and honest guidance.

Before The Inspection

What are the most common roof repairs?

Some of the most common roof repairs include shingle replacement, flashing repair around chimneys and walls, leak repair around skylights and vents, and repairs to nail pops or exposed fasteners. Many of these start small and can be handled quickly if caught early, which is why timely roof repair services matter. We tailor our services to meet each homeowner's unique roofing needs, ensuring accurate assessments and solutions for your specific situation.

Can you repair a roof without replacing it?

Yes. In many cases, a roof repair is enough to safely stop leaks and extend the life of your existing roof. When the damage is local and the rest of the roof is in reasonable shape, repair can be the smartest choice. If a repair would only buy you a very short window and replacement is the better long term value, we will explain that clearly.

What are people who fix roofs called?

Most people call them roofers, roof repair contractors, or roofing contractors. The important part is not the title. It is that they are licensed, insured, properly trained, and willing to show you what they see on your roof.

ROOF REPAIR COST NEAR YOU

What if I cannot afford to replace my roof?

You are not alone. Many homeowners are not ready for the cost of a full replacement, and that is exactly why we focus on affordable roof repair first when it is safe to do so. We look for targeted repairs that stop leaks, protect your home, and buy you more time before you ever need to think about replacement. You will receive a free repair estimate and a clear explanation of your options with no obligation and no pressure. Financing is also available for larger repairs so you can handle the problem now and spread the cost out over time.

How much does roof repair cost?

Roof repair pricing depends on the size of the damaged area, where the leak is located, the materials involved, and whether hidden water damage is present. Small repairs can be very affordable, while larger repairs that involve valleys, chimneys, skylights, flashing, or deeper structural work will cost more. The key is transparency. You will see line item pricing, a clear lump sum total, and an explanation of exactly what the work covers so there are no surprises.

Do you offer financing for roof repairs?

Yes. If the repair is larger or unexpected, financing options are available to help you spread the cost out over manageable monthly payments. This allows you to fix the problem now before it gets worse while keeping your budget on track. We walk you through the available financing plans, explain how each one works, and help you choose the option that fits your situation best.

During The Inspection And Repair

How do I know you are not making up damage?

You will see photos and videos of everything. We explain what you are looking at in plain language and answer every question until you are comfortable.

Will my yard be a mess?

Protecting your property is part of professional roof repair. We use ground protection where needed, keep materials organized, and perform a magnetic cleanup to reduce the chance of stray nails.

What happens if it rains during my roof repair?

If weather becomes a concern, we secure the area with tarps and pause work as needed to keep your home safe. We never leave open areas exposed to the elements.

After The Repair

What if there is still a leak?

If a leak returns in an area we repaired during the warranty period, contact us right away. Our workmanship warranty means we will come back, re inspect, and make it right.

How long is the warranty on roof repair?

Warranty terms vary based on the type of repair. During the estimate, we explain exactly what warranty applies to your project and provide it in writing.

Do you keep records if I sell the home?

Yes. We keep records of your roof repair and can provide documentation to you or a future buyer. This can help with transparency and peace of mind during a sale.
