Roof Repair

Fixing leaks underneath shingles or tiles.

A leak can be caused by inadequate underlayment – this is the layer of synthetic roofing felt that lies between your tiles or shingles and your roof decking and prevents wind-driven water intrusion. This is often a problem that can be remedied without replacing the entire roof. Deteriorated flashing around vents, chimneys or skylights is also a fairly common cause leaking and again, this may be a problem that can be fixed quickly.

More common issues.

You don’t have to have a leak to tell you that it’s time for some upkeep, minor remediation and maintenance on your roof. Here are several more common repairs that we do for residential and commercial roofing clients.

Flat roofs are particularly susceptible to leakage anywhere there is a perforation in the roof. This includes the smallest of wires or plumbing stacks, to vents, to skylights. The key to a successful and lasting solution lies both in the quality of the materials, especially the sealant, and the experience and skill of the roofing contractor doing the job. Knowing what sealants can be used together and what building materials are compatible with those sealants is absolutely critical to fixing leaks or even doing routine annual maintenance on a flat roof.

Bower Roofing is a GAF Master Commercial Roofing Contractor, which means we have access to the best roofing materials for flat roofing solutions and the experience and qualifications to get your job done right.

Most homeowners and property managers dread this particular conversation, especially if they’ve had the all-too-frequent South Florida experience of the high pressure roofing sales person who just wants to sell a new roof and collect a commission. At Bowers Roofing we take the time to evaluate condition and age of your roof and listen to what your goals and budget are for this property or home, then give you the best options that we possibly can. When we evaluate your roof, we look far beyond whether or not there is an obvious leak. We check for staining on walls and ceilings. Blistering or peeling paint can be a sign that water is entering from the roof, or it could be a problem with your plumbing or air conditioning system. If it turns out you need a plumber or an HVAC company, we are going to tell you that!
