Roof Repair in Houston, TX
Many contractors use a simple leak as an excuse to sell you a whole new roof. We don't. Get fast, reliable, and expertly crafted roof repairs designed to extend the life of your home and save you money.
Most Roofs Don't Need Replacing
A leak, a missing shingle, or a stain on the ceiling doesn't tell you much until someone has actually been on the roof. When a roof can be repaired, that's what we recommend, and a repair done properly means finding the real source of the leak rather than covering the place where it showed up.
Every repair starts with the same free 7-point inspection we use for everything else: a full look at the roof and attic, documented with more than 50 photos and videos, so you know exactly what we're fixing and why.
Signs Your Roof Needs a Repair, Not a Replacement
A localized problem on an otherwise sound roof usually calls for a repair, not a full replacement. Failed flashing around a chimney or vent, a few lifted or cracked shingles, a leaking valley, or storm damage confined to one section of a single slope can often be addressed without tearing off the entire roof. If you’re weighing the two options, the difference between roof repair and replacement comes down to how much of the roof is still doing its job.
How a Petrus Roof Repair Works
But you could add more steps or remove some steps.
Free Inspection
We inspect the full roof, not just the spot where the leak is showing, since water often travels before it stains a ceiling.
Finding the Actual Source
A stain rarely sits directly under the leak. We trace the water back to where it's actually getting in before we touch a single shingle.
Honest Recommendation
You get a plain answer on whether the fix is a targeted repair or something larger, and what led us there.
Your Estimate
The estimate comes after we've found the source, not before, and we walk you through how we got to it.
The Repair Itself
Flashing, shingles, valleys, or decking all get fixed to the same standard we use on a full installation.
Walkthrough
We'll show you the finished repair alongside the photos from the inspection, so the problem and the fix sit side by side.
Repairing by Roof Type
Asphalt shingle, metal, and tile roofs fail in different ways, so we approach each one differently:
Asphalt Shingle
The most common repair we do. We replace damaged shingles in kind and check the flashing and valleys around them at the same time, since a shingle repair that ignores the flashing tends to leak again within a season.
Metal
Seams, fasteners, and panel edges are where a metal roof actually tends to fail, so that's where we concentrate a repair rather than on the panels themselves.
Tile
We replace cracked or broken tiles individually where possible and check the underlayment beneath them, since tile commonly outlives the layer that does the actual waterproofing.

Learn More About Financing
A larger repair is still a real expense, even when it's the smaller job next to a full replacement. We'll walk you through the financing options available so the fix your roof needs doesn't wait on timing, and we can go through them while the estimate is still in front of you.
In life, there are no guarantees. In roofing and solar, there's the Petrus Workmanship Warranty.
Materials carry a manufacturer warranty. The installation is the part you can't inspect once the crew leaves, and that part is on us. Alongside the applicable manufacturer warranty, we back our roofing work with our Rock-Solid, 5-Year Workmanship Warranty.
Why We Recommend Repairs We Could Have Sold as Replacements
A repair is a smaller job than a replacement, and we recommend one anyway when that is what the roof needs. It's how we earn a customer who calls again the next time something goes wrong, and who tells a neighbor in the meantime. We hold the work to manufacturer specification either way: Petrus is a GAF Certified Plus contractor, and a repair gets the same treatment as a full roof.
Frequently Asked Questions
The honest answer depends on how contained the damage is and what the rest of the roof looks like. Our free 7-point inspection answers it from the roof itself instead of from a guess.
Cost depends on the size of the repair, the material, and what caused the damage. Anyone quoting a number before seeing the roof is guessing, and we give you a real estimate for your specific repair once we've been on it.
That depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. We inspect the roof, document everything with photos and video, and explain what we found in plain language. Your insurer decides coverage.
Most repairs finish in a single visit once the scope is confirmed. Larger repairs or ones needing special materials take longer, and we'll tell you which applies to yours before work starts.
In addition to applicable manufacturer warranties, Petrus offers a Rock-Solid, 5-Year Workmanship Warranty on our roofing work. We stand behind the finished roof.
Yes. For a repair significant enough to matter to your budget, we'll walk you through the available financing options so you can choose a plan that fits.
