roof leak repair for Boston homes, handled by a family roofing company that has been at it since 2002. Estimates are always free.
We fix the leak you called about and then check the rest of the roof while we are up there, because on most Boston homes a roof old enough to leak in one place is usually working on a second. Estimates are free and the repair gets priced in writing.
Not every Boston roof needs the biggest job on the sheet. When we quote roof leak repair we tell you honestly whether a repair will hold, whether doing one section will do, or whether you are genuinely past that — and we would rather do the smaller job well.
Metal is our specialty, so if roof leak repair on your Boston home opens the door to standing seam or a panel roof, we will price that right alongside the shingle option and let you compare the real numbers side by side.
The order we work in, and why each step matters more than it looks.
We look at the stain, the attic and the framing above it, because the path the water took tells us far more than the ceiling does.
Water can travel several feet along decking before it drips, so we never assume the hole is directly above the stain.
If the cause turns out to be a roof that is genuinely finished, we tell you that instead of patching it forever.
While we are up there we look over the whole roof, because one old enough to leak in one place usually has a second one starting.
The things people want to know before they tell us to go ahead.
Flashing, nearly always. Chimneys, wall tie ins, valleys, pipe boots and skylights account for most of the leaks we chase on Boston homes. The open field of a roof is rarely the problem.
Most leak repairs on a Boston home are a few hundred to around fifteen hundred dollars, depending on what has to be opened up and whether decking underneath has gone soft. The estimate is free.
Because water travels. It runs along decking and rafters before it drips, so the stain on a Boston ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work backward from the stain to the real entry point.
We can usually get a Boston roof covered and stop the water in the middle of weather, but the permanent repair waits for a dry stretch. Sealing something wet just means doing it twice.
Honest words from customers, in their own wording.
"Nice work on the roof and good communication throughout. I would have liked a little more warning about the dumpster arriving, but that is a small thing."
"Thank you so much to the entire crew at Roofing Brothers for our amazing new tin roof! You were amazing to work with and I couldn't recommend you to others enough!

"They roofed our addition and tied in the porch that runs off it. One crew, one number to call, and every line of it matched up."
