What causes roof damage?
Roof damage can be caused by a number of reasons, and the weather is often the cause. While hail and wind can crack or tear shingles, they can also remove the surface granules that protect the shingles, compromising the material and leaving it prone to fail sooner.
What part of the roof is most likely to leak?
The part of the roof that is most likely to leak is the area around the chimney, vents, and skylights. Any areas where the roofing material is cut or pierced are common sources of leaks. The flashing, which is the metal or rubber material used to seal these areas, can become damaged or displaced over time, allowing water to seep through and cause leaks.
How to prevent roof leaks
Maintaining seals around these fixtures can help prevent water from entering the home. Our advice: don’t wait to repair any leaks in your roof and if you can have us make repairs to prevent them all Jack for a free roof inspection so that our roof experts can make roof repairs before they become bigger problems.
How much does it cost to repair part of a roof?
The cost of roof repairs can vary greatly depending on the extent of the damage, the type of roof, and where your home is located. Some common roof repairs such as fixing a small leak or replacing a few shingles cost less that more extensive repairs, such as replacing a large section of the roof or repairing severe storm damage.
It is also a good idea to budget for ongoing maintenance and repairs to keep your roof in good condition and avoid more costly repairs in the future.

Does homeowners insurance cover roof leaks?
Homeowners insurance policies typically cover damage to the roof caused by events that are beyond the homeowner’s control, such as storms, fire, and vandalism. In most cases, if a roof leak is caused by one of these events, the cost of repairing the leak and any related damage will be covered by the insurance policy.
It is important to that remember homeowners insurance policies typically have exclusions and limitations, and the coverage for roof leaks may vary depending on the specific policy.
Review your homeowners insurance policy carefully to understand what is and is not covered, and to discuss any questions or concerns with your insurance agent or company.
