Water coming through a ceiling right now? Text or call — we prioritise same-day response for active leaks and storm damage.
Active leaks and storm damage go to the front of the day
Faster than a form when water is coming in — send a photo
Master Craftsman Roofing Contractor
Five minutes of the right action now can be the difference between a ceiling repair and a room.
Then text us a photo. A picture of the stain inside and a picture of the outside of the house tells us more in ten seconds than a phone call does in five minutes, and it means we arrive with the right materials already on the truck.
These are two different jobs, and it matters that you know which one is happening.
The emergency call is about getting water out of your house. Depending on what we find, that means a temporary membrane or tarp over the failure, sealing the immediate entry point, or clearing an ice dam that is backing water up under the shingles. It is not pretty and it is not permanent — it is the roofing equivalent of a pressure bandage, and it buys you a dry ceiling while the real repair gets planned properly.
Water almost never enters where the stain appears. It runs along the underside of the deck, follows a rafter, and comes through at the first gap it finds — often several feet away and lower down. Chasing the stain is how a leak gets repaired three times and keeps coming back.
Once the water is stopped we diagnose the actual entry point, photograph what we find, and give you a written price for the permanent repair. You see the photographs before you see the number.
We will not quote you a full roof replacement while your ceiling is dripping. An emergency is the worst possible moment to make a five-figure decision, and a contractor pushing one at that moment is telling you something about how they operate. If the roof genuinely needs replacing, that conversation happens after you are dry, with a written estimate and no pressure attached to it.
Active leaks and storm damage are prioritised for same-day response. Call or text (519) 721-4969 and we will tell you honestly when we can be there rather than promise a window we cannot hold. If we genuinely cannot reach you in time, we will say so and talk you through holding it yourself until we can.
Text, if you can. Send a photo of the stain inside and a photo of the outside of the house. That tells us more in ten seconds than a phone call does in five minutes, it means we arrive with the right materials already on the truck, and it works when you are somewhere you cannot easily talk.
Pierce it at the lowest point of the bulge with a screwdriver and let it drain into a bucket. It feels like making it worse and it is the right call: a bulge is a pocket of water held up by a skin of paint, and if you leave it the whole section comes down at once. Turn the power to that area off at the breaker first if there is a light fitting or an outlet anywhere near it.
No. An emergency is the worst possible moment to make a five-figure decision. We stop the water, diagnose the actual cause, photograph it, and price the permanent repair in writing. If the roof genuinely needs replacing, that is a separate conversation once you are dry, with no pressure attached to it.
Sudden damage from a storm, wind or a fallen limb is often covered, while gradual wear and long-term neglect generally is not. Your policy decides that, not us. What helps either way is documentation: photograph everything before anything is moved or cleaned up, and keep the written diagnosis and the invoice. We photograph what we find as a matter of course, and you get those images.
Sometimes. A failed boot, a lifted shingle or a single flashing detail can often be finished on the spot. Anything involving wet decking, a large area, or a repair that needs the roof dry will be made safe first and completed properly afterwards — a permanent repair bonded onto a soaking deck is a repair you will be calling us about again.
