Roof Repairs
Is your roof leaking? Maybe some tile or flashing have blown off? Perhaps the damage is more severe such as sagging in your roof or damage from a fallen branch or tree? Whatever the need, the roof repair experts at Gulf Western Roofing can help.
If a building has a roof on it, we can generally repair it. Many roofing companies will only offer an option for a new roof. But many times a roof can be repaired rather than replaced. Leaks can result from flashings that have come loose or a section of the roof system being damaged. A complete roof system failure, however, generally is irreversible and a result of improper installation or choice of materials or the roof system installation is inappropriate for the home or building.

- Modified Bitumen
- Built-up roofs
- EPDM
- PVC
- TPO

Roof Repairs: When and Why to Undertake
Leaks, improper workmanship, and weather-related conditions are three common reasons for roof repairs. Some of these repairs are obvious, while others can be less so. Do you need a roof repair for any of these reasons? Following is an overview of each, and the damage caused by leaving it unattended.
Roof repairs due to leaks: according to experts, approximately 90% of all roof leaks are due to improper installation. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that many roof leaks are not obvious. They can fester sometimes for years before the damage is obvious to the naked eye.
low leaks that go undetected for long periods of time are can cause the harmful growth of mold, structural damage, and in--the most severe cases, the complete collapsing of the roof.
Roof repairs due to improper workmanship: improperly installed roofs are more common than building owners think. This is why they should only be installed by skilled tradesman.
One of the most common problems in this area is tile installation. It can be as simple as tiles which are fastened incorrectly. Improperly installed tiles can lead to larger, more expensive repairs like those caused by water damage and foundation erosion.
Roof repairs due to weather-related issues: roofs are exposed to the elements all day, every day. Over time, the materials they are made from become damaged from excessive heat, cold, rain, wind, and various types of debris.
Clogged gutters, missing shingles, and slow leaks can all happen as a result of this breakdown in your roof. Regular maintenance and routine roof inspections can catch minor problems before they become big, expensive ones.
