What to do before anybody climbs a ladder
- Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
- Look at the edges from the groundRust streaks running down from the drip edge or a vent, shingles lifted along an eave, flashing standing away from a wall. Each one tells the roofer where to look first.

Call (409) 683-9988Note 01Is it expensive to fix a roof leak?
Usually not. National averages put repairs at about $395 to $1,967, and the fix itself is often a vent collar, a flashing or a few shingles. What makes a leak expensive is leaving it, because the water keeps working on the sheathing and the ceiling.
Note 02Can sealant fix a roof leak permanently?
Rarely. Sealant over rusted flashing or an open seam buys a season at best, and on the island salt and sun break it down faster. A permanent repair replaces the failed metal or shingle.
Note 03Who to hire to fix a roof leak?
A roofer who traces the entry point before fixing anything. The stain is where water ended up, not where it got in, and in Galveston the entry is often rusted metal at a wall or an eave. Ask how they will find it, not just what they will charge.
