Leak tracing
The entry point is located — often uphill and rooms away from the ceiling stain — so the repair targets where water actually gets in.

What the job covers
The leak outside and the damage inside, handled together
A roof leak is two jobs: stopping the water at its entry point, and repairing what it damaged on the way down. The stages below cover both, quoted in one written scope.
Entry point repair
The failed detail — flashing, a penetration, a seam — is repaired so water stops entering. Larger roofing replacement is scoped separately.
Drying the damage
Wet insulation, framing and ceiling material are dried with commercial equipment, verified by moisture readings.
Ceiling and wall repair
Stained, sagging or damaged drywall and plaster are repaired or replaced and finished to match the surrounding area.
Interior finish repair
Trim, flooring and paint damaged by the leak are repaired per the agreed written scope.
Written scope
The quote states exactly which exterior and interior repairs are included, so there are no surprises partway through.

Common questions
Before you call
How fast can you respond to an active leak?
Dispatch is answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at (516) 348-5145. Actual response time depends on crew availability, your location, and property access, so call and dispatch will confirm what can be scheduled for your address.
The stain is in one room — is the leak directly above it?
Often not. Water travels along framing and sheathing before it shows on a ceiling, which is why the entry point has to be traced rather than guessed from the stain.
Do you replace whole roofs?
Roof leak repair targets the failed detail causing the leak. If the assessment shows the roof itself is at end of life, larger replacement is scoped and quoted separately — you decide how to proceed.
Do you fix the ceiling damage too?
Yes. Drying, drywall, trim and paint repairs are included in the same written scope, so one crew handles the leak and the damage it caused.
Do you provide documentation for an insurance claim?
You receive a written record of the findings and a written quote for the repair scope. You can share that documentation with your insurer, but claim decisions rest with you and your carrier.
What does roof leak repair cost?
Quote on request. Where the leak is, what detail failed, and how much interior damage it caused all change the scope, which is why pricing follows the on-site inspection.
Active leak or a growing stain?
Call dispatch or send the details — a written quote comes before any work.
