Roof Repair for Orange Homes
We come over from Beaumont, get on the roof, find where the water gets in and put the price in writing before any work starts.
Free, no-obligation estimates, Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 6 pm.
Homes Around Town
Half the houses in town were built in 1972 or earlier, and a house that old is seldom still on its first roof.
When a roof has been re-covered, the shingles you see from the street can be years newer than the flashing, the pipe boots and the decking under them. So when one of these roofs leaks, the new shingles are rarely the problem; the old parts underneath usually are, and that is where we look first.
The houses in Pine Grove and Brownwood, out through Francis, Bancroft and Stark, and on the streets around the Stark Museum of Art all get the same check: the visible roof, then everything it is sitting on.
-
1972
The median year a home in town was built: half the houses here are older than that.
-
74 days
Of hard summer heat in a year, long enough to bake the paper under the shingle.
-
61.3 in
Of rain in an average year, and every inch of it tests the valleys and the flashing.
Roof Repair for Every Roof Type
Every repair we do on a house or a business in town runs the same way: we trace the problem, put the estimate in writing, make the repair and leave you a photo record.
Most calls start with a water stain on a ceiling or a missing shingle in the yard, and the trace is what tells us whether that is a small fix or the first sign of something bigger.
-
Trace the water
The stain on the ceiling is where the water ended up. We get on the roof and follow it uphill to where it gets in: a "pipe boot", the "step flashing" at a wall, the "ridge cap" or a clogged valley.
-
The price in writing
You get photos of what we found and an itemized written estimate before anything is scheduled. The estimate is free, and we quote the whole job before we start.
-
A matched repair
The repair uses what is already on the roof: shingle to shingle, metal to metal, a "lift-and-relay" on tile, a compatible patch on a flat roof, so it sheds water like the rest.
-
The photo record
The job ends with before-and-after photos for your file, and we clean up when the work is done, gutters and yard included.

When a repair is not the whole answer
Heat, rain and storms each send a roof here toward a different kind of work, and each of these has its own page.
-
Roof Replacement When Repairs Stop Working
Heat wears a roof out here faster than its age suggests: about 74 days a year of hard summer heat bake the "underlayment" under tile and age asphalt shingles early.
When the sun-facing slopes show "granule loss" from end to end, grit in the gutters and bald spots on the shingles, patching stops paying off and replacement is the better money. We check the underlayment and those slopes before we tell you which it is.
-
Roof Inspection After Bad Weather
Rain is the real test of a roof in town, with about 61.3 inches falling in an average year.
That much water finds every weak flashing joint, valley and pipe collar. After a hard storm, an inspection follows the water path and clears the valleys and drains before anything is patched, so the fix goes where the water actually gets in.
-
Fast Emergency Roof Repair
When a storm opens the roof, the first job is to stop the water, and the permanent repair comes after.
We assess and photograph the storm damage, then cover the opening, usually with "tarping". A search for roof repair here lists three rated local roofers, so after a storm the calls stack up; ring us early and we answer the phone or call back the same working day.

Chilo was super quick to respond and come by for a quote. I only needed minor repairs, but the work was done quickly (within the day) and for a fair price.

I am so happy I called IH roofing. My new roof looks great. I called 5 roofing companies and the bid from IH roofing was very competitive. $1000's less than the big companies. I told them my need was dire and they put me right into their calendar. They worked from 8am to dark and had my roof completed in under two days. The crew was courteous and they left my yard cleaner than they found it. I recommend I H roofing without any hesitation.

Roof repair questions
What is the average cost of a roof repair?
No honest average fits a roof nobody has looked at: the price moves with the roof's size, its pitch, the number of stories, the materials and any damage found underneath.
A broken seal or a few displaced tabs is a small fix, while a failed pipe boot, a bad valley or open "counterflashing" is a larger detail rebuild. The estimate is free, and we quote the whole job before we start.
What is the 25% rule for roofing?
It is a rule of thumb: once about a quarter of the roof surface is damaged or worn out, replacing the roof usually makes more sense than repairing it.
We look at the whole roof, not just the spot that leaks, and tell you which side of that line yours is on before you spend anything.
