How much does roof repair cost?
Straight answers from TruRoof, emergency roof repair in Alexandria, KY.
You spot a water stain on the ceiling in your Old Town Alexandria home. A few shingles are out of place after a storm off US-27. You need a fix, but you're afraid any roofer will push a full replacement instead of a small repair.
That water mark on the ceiling means rain is sneaking through a gap. It could be a cracked shingle, torn flashing by the chimney, or a nail hole. In Alexandria, older homes near the Licking Riverside Historic District often have aging flashing, while newer builds off KY-9 can get wind-lifted shingles.
Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing around a pipe boot usually cost $300 to $800. If the leak has soaked into the plywood decking underneath, the repair climbs to $1,200 to $2,500. The price depends on how much decking needs cutting out and how steep your roof is. A same-day tarping costs less and stops water fast.
Don't let anyone scare you into a full roof if only a few spots are damaged. Call TruRoof for a repair estimate first. One of our team will inspect your Alexandria home and give you a straightforward quote for the actual damage. We'll never push a replacement when a repair will do the job. If you have an active leak, we can tarp it over right away.
Once the repair is done, your ceiling dries out and the worry stops. You don't have to replace your whole roof because of one small leak. You can go back to normal, knowing your home is protected against Kentucky weather from spring storms to winter ice.
What people in Alexandria say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
