Chester Roof Leak Repair

Stop Water Damage Before It Spreads

You wake up to water dripping into your living room. Your first thought isn’t about the roof—it’s about everything that water is about to ruin. Your furniture, your floors, and your family photos are stored in the closet below.

That’s where we come in. We stop the leak first, then figure out why it happened. No water damage spreading while we write estimates or order materials.

Most roof problems in Chester start small. A few loose shingles after a storm. A small gap around a chimney is a common problem. But our winters don’t wait for convenient timing. Ice dams form, snow melts and refreezes, and suddenly that small problem becomes a big one.

When we finish your roof repair, you’ll sleep through the next storm instead of lying awake listening for drips.

Gualan Brothers Home Remodeling Corp. has been fixing roofs in Chester and the surrounding areas for years. We know what winter does to roofs here—the ice dams that form on north-facing slopes, the way snow slides off metal roofs and tears gutters loose, and the freeze-thaw cycles that work shingles loose.

Roof Repair Process Chester

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we stop any active leaks. If water is coming in, that gets handled immediately—even if it means tarping the area until we can make permanent repairs.

Then we inspect the entire roof, not just the obvious problem area. Leaks rarely happen in isolation. If one section is failing, we need to know what else might be close behind.

You get a written estimate that breaks down exactly what needs to be fixed and why. No surprises, no scope creep, no discovering “additional problems” once we’re already on your roof.

We handle the repair work using materials designed for our climate. That means shingles rated for our wind speeds, flashing that won’t crack in winter, and sealants that stay flexible when temperatures drop.

If insurance is involved, we document everything they’ll need to see. Photos, measurements, material specifications—whatever helps your claim move forward.

Residential Roof Repairs Chester

What's Included In Every Repair

Every roof repair includes a thorough inspection of the problem area and surrounding sections. We’re looking for the root cause, not just the symptoms.

You get quality materials designed for Chester’s weather. The architectural shingles are designed to withstand summer heat without curling and winter cold without cracking. Ice and water shield in vulnerable areas. Proper ventilation to prevent ice dams from forming again.

We clean up completely when we’re done. We ensure that your driveway is free of nails and your landscaping is free of debris. Your property looks exactly like it did before we arrived—except your roof doesn’t leak anymore.

All our repair work comes with a warranty. If our work fails, we come back and fix it at no charge. If the issue is larger than it seems and appears elsewhere, we’ll help you fix it.

We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond the same day for active leaks. If you call in the morning about a leak, we’ll be there that afternoon to fix it. For after-hours emergencies, we provide emergency tarping services to prevent further water damage until permanent repairs can be made. The key is stopping water infiltration immediately—even temporary measures can save thousands in interior damage while we arrange for proper repairs.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover roof damage from storms, fallen trees, or other sudden events. They typically don’t cover damage from normal wear and aging. We help document the damage with photos and detailed reports that insurance companies need to process claims. We can also work directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure nothing gets missed during their inspection. The key is reporting damage promptly—waiting too long can sometimes complicate claims, especially if additional damage occurs that could have been prevented.
We look at several factors: the age of your roof, the extent of current damage, and the condition of surrounding areas. If damage is localized and your roof is less than 15 years old, repair usually makes sense. For older roofs with multiple problem areas, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term. We’ll always give you honest recommendations based on what makes financial sense for your situation. We won’t pressure you into a full replacement when a repair can resolve your issue and provide several more years of dependable service.
Ice dams are the biggest culprit here in Chester. When snow melts and refreezes at the roof edge, it creates a dam that forces water back up under shingles. Poor attic ventilation worsens this. Storm damage from high winds is another common cause—shingles get lifted or torn, exposing the roof deck underneath. Flashing around chimneys and vent penetrations also fails over time, especially with our freeze-thaw cycles. Regular maintenance can prevent most of these issues, but once they start, they need professional attention quickly.
Properly done roof repairs should last as long as the surrounding original roofing material. If we’re repairing a 10-year-old roof with quality materials and proper installation, that repair should give you another 10-15 years of service. The key is using compatible materials and addressing the underlying cause, not just the symptoms. Cheap patches might last a season or two, but quality repairs with proper flashing, sealants, and shingles will perform for decades. We warranty our work because we use materials and methods designed for long-term performance.
Yes, we work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, slate, and tile systems. Each material has different repair requirements and techniques. Metal roofs might need specialized sealants and fasteners, while slate requires careful handling to avoid cracking adjacent tiles. We keep the right materials and tools on hand for each type of roofing system common in the Chester area. Our experience with different materials means we can match existing systems properly and ensure repairs blend seamlessly with your current roof while maintaining structural integrity and weather protection.
