Roof Repair FAQs
Here are the most common situations that count as a true roof emergency:
1. Active, heavy leaks, especially near electrical panels or wiring. If water is coming through the ceiling and risks your safety, stay out from under the leak and call for help immediately.
2. Ceiling sagging, bubbling, or risk of collapse due to active leaks. This is an immediate hazard and needs urgent attention.
3. Catching water in multiple buckets is a sign of a significant, active leak that can't wait and may require emergency tarping.
4. A full metal panel is visibly loose or flapping, especially with high winds in the forecast. This can become a safety issue if the panel comes off.
5. A large area of missing shingles and exposed plywood, especially if a major rainstorm or snowstorm is due soon. That combination can lead to major interior or structural damage if not addressed quickly.
In contrast, missing a few shingles or a loose screw on a metal roof isn’t usually an emergency if the wood underneath is covered and weather is clear, but it should still be repaired soon.
If you’re ever in doubt, it’s always wise to call a professional for guidance
While the exposed wood on your house might look alarming, fascia and soffit repairs can usually wait for regular scheduling. Even in the event of rain, a 2x4 piece of wood can handle getting wet for a short time without any lasting harm.
A thorough roof repair estimate should include these essentials:
1. Clear identification of what's damaged and what's being fixed, so you know exactly what will be addressed.
2. Detailed list of materials, such as type, manufacturer, and color of roofing products to be used.
3. Scope of work and reasons for the repair, making clear why each step is needed (don't settle for vague descriptions).
4. Warranty details, including type and duration of both workmanship and material warranties.
5. Labor and tear-off (if needed) details on what will be removed and replaced, how disposal will be handled, and any necessary permits.
6. Terms and exclusions: clear payment terms, info about permits, exclusions (like interior damage not covered), and agreement for registering warranties.
Be wary of bids with "verbal" promises or unclear documentation. Everything important should be written out.
If you're deciding between repair and full replacement, ask for documentation supporting any recommendation for major work. That way, you're set up to make the best long-term choice for your home.
Shingles do not always have to be removed during roof repairs. Usually, only the damaged shingles or roofing material are taken off to access and fix the problem below.
However, if there's a leak or issue with no visible damage on the surface, sometimes a contractor will remove shingles or roofing layers to find hidden damage underneath, inspect the underlayment, and repair anything they find before reinstalling the shingles.
Most repairs can be completed by removing just what's necessary and are usually done in a day or less. If a deeper inspection is needed (when the cause isn't obvious), that's when larger sections might be temporarily removed, inspected, and then put back together.
If a repair has not fixed your leak, call our office right away. A member of our crew will come out for a free additional inspection to identify if another hidden or secondary source is causing the leak. Sometimes fixing one problem reveals another that wasn't visible at first.
If the issue was the repair itself, the work will be corrected free of charge.
How long a roof repair lasts depends on what was fixed, the quality of materials, and the roof's overall age. A well-done repair on an otherwise healthy roof can last for many years, sometimes even the rest of the roof's life, especially if it's a newer or mid-life roof. But if your roof is already 15–20 years old or has hidden damage, repairs may only buy you temporary time before another issue appears.
Keep in mind: if the same area needs repairs again within a year or two, it's a signal that there could be a deeper, hidden problem that wasn't visible at first, such as damaged decking beneath the shingles. That's why a thorough inspection up front is so important.
Deciding between a roof repair or replacement usually comes down to a few key signs:
Repair is the right call if:
-
This is the first time you’ve had a small issue (like 1–2 missing shingles or a minor leak).
-
The roof is less than 15 years old and generally in good shape.
-
Damage is small and contained to one spot.
-
Any missing shingles haven’t let water in for very long .
Replacement is best if:
-
Your roof is 15+ years old, especially if it’s had issues before.
-
Shingles have been blowing off for months or there are leaks in multiple spots.
-
You’ve fixed the same area more than once and it keeps leaking.
-
There are widespread problems (like soft spots or moss in large patches) .
-
Insurance won’t renew your policy due to roof age or damage .
A professional inspection—both on top of the roof and in the attic—can catch hidden issues and help you make the best call.
Homeowners' insurance can cover roof repairs—but only for certain types of damage. Generally, you'll be covered if your roof was damaged by a qualifying event such as wind, hail, fire, or even a fallen tree. Storm and wind damage are the main scenarios where insurance steps in. However, normal wear and tear, age-related issues, and maintenance problems (like small leaks from old shingles) usually aren't covered.
It's technically possible to mix shingle or vent brands during repairs, but it's generally not recommended. Mixing brands—especially shingles or important system components—can void both manufacturer and workmanship warranties. Most manufacturers require a minimum number of key parts (like underlayment, starter strips, and vents) to come from the same brand for full warranty coverage.
Yes, you can repair a roof with hail damage if the damage is minor and only affects small areas—such as a few hail hits in one spot. However, if there are six or more hail impacts in a 10x10-foot area, most contractors and insurance companies recommend a full replacement, as widespread damage can compromise your roof's long-term performance.
Yes, hail damage almost always gets worse over time if you don’t fix it. When hail knocks granules loose from your shingles, rain and sun will continue to wear them down little by little. The exposed spots break down faster, eventually developing cracks, holes, and leaks. Often you won’t see a leak right away—the real trouble may show up one to three years later, once underlying materials start to break down .
Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, untreated hail damage shortens its lifespan and raises the risk of serious water damage down the road.

I cannot say enough good things about Equity Roofing and their incredible crew! Terrell, Trevor, Jesse, and Eddy were absolutely amazing from beginning to end. These guys were professional, friendly, respectful, hardworking, and truly went above and beyond. They worked efficiently as a team, paid attention to the details, and took real pride in their work. They were also wonderful to deal with, and their positive attitudes made the entire experience that much better.
They worked hard, got the job done, and made sure everything was cleaned up afterward. It is refreshing to see a crew that takes their job seriously, treats customers so well, and genuinely cares about doing things right. Their teamwork and work ethic were exceptional, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of.
Terrell, Trevor, Jesse, and Eddy are a tremendous asset to Equity Roofing! These four gentlemen deserve recognition for the outstanding job they do and the way they represent their company. Equity Roofing should be proud to have such a fantastic crew on their team!

"Had Equity Roofing do our roof and gutters about a year ago. Recently, I had a leak and I incorrectly assumed it was the roof leaking. Equity sent Eddie out very quickly to take a look at the leak. Eddie spent some time diagnosing the issue and found that it was not the roof that was leaking but flashing on a window! Eddie was nice enough to throw some caulk on as a band-aid until I could get the window replaced. Overall 5+ stars for equity. I use them for all my home repairs if I could."

"On the morning Equity was scheduled to install my roof, they concluded that the existing roof was sound and the leaks were originating elsewhere. Another company would have installed the new roof and taken the money without solving the issue. Another company might not have had the expertise to evaluate the roof properly. Instead, Equity returned my deposit. They demonstrated tremendous integrity in the transaction, were unfailingly polite and communicated each step of the process in real time. Equity Roofing has earned my highest recommendation."

"They were very professional. I called them, they came and looked over our issue, gave us an estimate, and scheduled the work. When the work was scheduled, they were there on time, and completed the job within the time limit. They did an excellent job of cleaning up after themselves and we're very careful not to damage anything on my property. I had expressed concern about how soft the grass is this time of year and not wanting ruts in my yard. They seated the area with plywood so that they wouldn't make any ruts"

"Equity Roofing saved the day when some of my roofing started to blow off during a significant wind storm! They were on my roof fixing the issue less than 12 hours after I called them. And they had just done another little job for me a few weeks earlier. Everyone with Equity that I have spoken with has been fantastic!…so pleasant and more than willing to help! I would definitely recommend you give them a call if you have a roofing issue! Thank you Equity Roofing!!!"

"Doug with Equity Rooding came out for an emergency roof tarp placement after storm damage, and he was an absolute pleasure. He was thorough, explained every step of the process and secured the damaged area thoroughly. He went above and beyond my expectations for the emergency repair. His thorough and thoughtful analysis of the situation helped to mitigate a frightened homeowner on a terrible day. Great work, completed by a great team. Thank you!"

"Absolutely excellent work, attention to detail, commitment to doing the job right, and an allegiance to customer service like I have never seen in my life. Quick, same day responses to trouble shooting issues with follow up service being performed within a day or two. When they say they are dedicated to providing customer satisfaction they truly mean it. Their desire to make the customer happy is unlike anything I have ever experienced in over 50 years of dealing with repair shops, stores, vendors, auto mechanics, and contractors. You can't go wrong with Equity Roofing."

"This cupola wasn't in the best shape when a wind storm came through and broke several louvers. I had no idea what all was broken on it until Equity Roofing came out very promptly to give me an estimate. There were screws coming loose and an issue with a sealant used at the base which would not allow proper drainage of any water that could potentially blow inside. We had a few weather delays, but they still managed to climb on the roof and take the cupola down for repairs at the shop, then brought it back to reinstall the same day. It looks beautiful now. I appreciated the consistent communication, and photos to keep me updated with the process."

"Great business! They are very responsive and do quality work. We hired them to do a roof repair/redid the pitch on a portion of our very angled roof that had a leaking problem after all of the snow we had in January/Feb. They made sure that everything they did along the way was exactly what we wanted. Great company!"
