Roofer Company
When the rain gets in, we get to work.
When you call a roofer company rather than a number on a flyer, you are buying three things: someone who answers, a scope that is written down, and a business that is still there if the work fails. Leaky Roof Repair is that one point of contact, and the work itself is carried out by a local team we route it to.
What you are actually hiring when you hire a roofer company
A roof is not something you can inspect properly once it is finished. Most of what decides whether it stays watertight is out of sight, and it stays out of sight for years. So alongside the workmanship, what you are buying is a business that is still around and still answering when something goes wrong.
That is why the paperwork matters more in roofing than in most trades. A company that puts its registered name on the quote, sets out what is and is not included, and gives you a record at the end has given you something to hold on to. A cash price and a cellphone number gives you nothing at all.
It is also worth knowing who you are dealing with. Some companies employ their own crews. Some, including us, take your report and route the work to a local team. Both can be perfectly good, but you should know which one you are talking to before you agree to anything, because it changes who you go back to.
Questions worth asking a roofing company
None of these take long to answer, and a company that finds them awkward is telling you something useful before any money has changed hands.
The answers also tell you whether you are dealing with a business or with a phone. Both exist in this trade, and the difference only shows up a year later when water is coming through the ceiling again.
- Who answers the phone when something goes wrong after the job?
- Which legal entity appears on the quote and the invoice, and does it match the bank details?
- Who carries the guarantee on the work, and for how long?
- Will the person who quoted be involved in the work itself?
- Will the scope be put in writing before anything is opened up?
- What happens if the leak turns out to be somewhere other than where it was thought to be?
- What will you be given at the end to show what was actually done?
How Leaky Roof Repair works, and what that means for you
We are not a roofing crew, and it is better to say so plainly. You report the leak, we assess how urgent it is, and the work is routed to a local team in your city. What you deal with throughout is one company rather than a different person at every stage.
The advantage is that the roof goes to a team working in your area, and that the report, the scope and the record all sit in one place. If the leak comes back, you return to the same place you started instead of trying to find whoever was on the roof two winters ago.
The limit is that the people on your roof are not our employees. That is exactly why the cause is identified first and the scope is written down before anyone opens the roof. On a job where the crew is not ours, the paper is what protects you.
The record you should be left with
A properly run roofing company leaves you with something you can put in a drawer: what was found, what was replaced, what was deliberately left alone, and the date. It is a short document and it takes ten minutes to write.
It matters at three moments. If the same leak comes back, it tells the next person what has already been tried. If you claim on insurance, it dates the damage and the repair. And if you sell the house, it answers the buyer's question about when the roof was last worked on.
If you have had roof work done and been left with nothing but a receipt, you have been left with less than you should have been.
What a roofer company should cover
One Point Of Contact
One number from the first report to the finished repair, rather than a different person at every stage.
The Cause Found Before Quoting
The entry point identified before a price is given, which is what any written scope depends on.
Leak Repairs
Tiles, sheeting, flashings, valleys and waterproofing, repaired by a local team working in your city.
Roof Replacement & Re-Roofing
Full strip and re-roof when repairs have stopped being the cheaper answer.
Read more →Waterproofing
Flat roofs, parapets and slabs, with the substrate checked before any system goes down.
Storm And Hail Damage
Damage assessed and documented, which matters when an insurance claim is involved.
Written Scope And Record
What is included, what is excluded, and what was done, in writing at both ends of the job.
Commercial And Body Corporate
Buildings that have to keep operating, phased so the work does not stop the business.
Roof Repair Cost & Quotes
What drives the price, and how to read two quotes for the same roof.
