Tile, shingle and flat roofs

Roof Repair in Goleta, From Leak Tracing to Tile Work

The typical house in town was built around 1974, so its roof has been through decades of dry summers before the winter rain. We find where the water gets in and fix it there, ideally before the storms arrive.

Free, no-obligation estimates. We answer the phone or call back the same working day.

What we fix here

Roof repair in Goleta

We repair leaking, damaged and worn roofs on homes and small buildings in town, from tracing a leak to its source to tile, flashing and flat roof work.

The visit starts on the roof rather than at the ceiling stain. Water runs along the framing before it drops, so the way in usually sits uphill from where it shows, and a patch put on the wrong spot leaves the leak where it was.

The repairs we make

  • Leaks

    Traced to where the water actually enters, then fixed at that spot.

  • Flashing

    The metal at chimneys, walls, valleys and skylights, the most common place a roof lets water in.

  • Tile

    Cracked clay and concrete tile swapped out, or a "lift-and-relay" when the paper beneath has given out.

  • Flat roofs

    "Ponding", clogged "scuppers" and cracked surfaces on low-slope roofs.

  • Storm damage

    Wind-lifted shingles and slipped tile, with "tarping" to hold until a dry day.

Sun, then rain

How Goleta weather shapes a roof repair

The long dry season here can wear a roof down in a set order, so each repair here checks what sun and rain have worn out before it fixes the path the water takes.

The layer that gives out soonest is usually the "underlayment", the paper under tile or shingle, which wears out well before the tile does. After it come the "pipe boot" collars around vent pipes, which split long before the roof is done, and the "step flashing" where a roof meets a wall.

A worn spot can stay quiet all summer and leak with the opening storm of winter. That is why the dry months are the time to find it, while the repair is still small.

When the job is done

Photos and a written record for every Goleta repair

Every repair we make closes with before-and-after photos and a written record of the work.

While the roof is open we photograph the layers nobody sees again after it is closed up: the deck, the paper and the metal at the joints. Those pictures stay with your record, which is useful when you sell the house, talk to your insurer or call us about the roof down the road.

Before any of that, you get photos, our findings and an itemized written estimate, so you see the problem before you agree to the price.

I called Titan Roofing & Rain Gutters inc.for a quote on a residential home, and within minutes they were calling me back and setting up a same day appointment. Sergio came out within the hour and was very professional. He looked everything over and even gave me some great advice in case we ever do experience any leaks. He didn't even have the job but was still willing to help me out.

Asked on the phone

A common Goleta roof question

The question owners here raise with us most is whether a roof that only drips in a storm is worth fixing in the dry months, and it is.

Fixing a problem now is usually cheaper than fixing it after the next storm. Water that keeps getting past the paper soaks the "roof deck" below it, and "dry rot" in the wood turns a small repair into carpentry as well.

A dry day is also when a leak is easiest to trace and the repair is done properly, rather than covered over in the rain.
