Water dripping from ceiling light fixture? Don't touch it. Read this first.
Emergency roof repair for Cincinnati homeowners. We're local, we're fast, and we'll stop that leak before it gets worse.
You see water dripping from a ceiling light in your Cincinnati home, maybe in an older Hyde Park colonial or a Downtown condo. Your first thought is fire or mold. Your second thought is who do I call right now. This is an emergency.
Water coming through a light fixture means your roof has a leak. Rain or melting snow gets under shingles or flashing. It travels down through the attic, hits the wiring, and drips into your room. This is a serious fire risk. It can also damage ceilings, walls, and insulation. The leak might be far from where you see the drip. Water follows rafters and pipes before it finds a hole.
The cost to fix a roof leak ranges from a few hundred dollars for a simple patch to several thousand if decking is rotted. A missing shingle or cracked pipe boot is usually a smaller job. Flashing around a chimney or skylight costs more. Rotted decking adds time and material. We give you a clear price after we inspect the roof. No surprises. We work with your insurance if you choose to file a claim.
Turn off the power to that room at the breaker box right now. Put a bucket under the drip. Poke a small hole in the ceiling bulge to drain water if it is sagging. Do not touch the light switch. Do not use the fixture. Then call us at TruRoof for emergency roof repair. We tarp the area the same day to stop more water. We fix the leak permanently once it is dry.
After we repair your roof, you can turn the lights back on. The ceiling will be dry. The wiring will be safe. You can stop worrying about fire or mold. Your home feels solid again. You sleep better when the next rain comes.
What people in Cincinnati 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."
Other things people in Cincinnati ask
can you repair just part of a roof
A partial repair is normal when the rest of the roof has life left. An honest inspection tells you which one you need.
missing shingles after storm
Do not climb on the roof. Take photos from the ground. Call a roofing company that handles storm damage. They will check for hidden damage and help you decide if you need a repair or a full replacement.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
how much does roof repair cost
Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing can cost $300 to $800. Bigger repairs with decking replacement run higher. Ask for a repair quote before committing to anything larger.
