When to Repair Your Roof
Not every roof problem requires a full replacement. If your roof is under 15 years old with localized damage, repair is usually the right choice. We fix leaks, replace damaged shingles, repair flashing, and address ventilation issues that cause premature wear.
Common signs you need roof repair include interior water stains, missing or curled shingles, granules collecting in gutters, daylight visible through roof boards, or sagging areas. After severe weather, even minor damage can quickly become a major problem if water enters your home. The sooner you address repairs, the less expensive they become.
Our Roof Repair Process
Step 1: Inspection and Diagnosis
We start by identifying the exact source of the problem. Leaks often travel before appearing on your ceiling, so visible water damage may be several feet from the actual entry point. We inspect your roof surface, check all flashing points, examine attic spaces for moisture trails, and assess overall roof condition.
You receive a clear explanation of what we found, what needs repair, and what can wait. We provide written estimates that break down materials and labor, plus photos that document the damage. If your roof has multiple problems or is near the end of its service life, we'll discuss whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense.
Step 2: Repair Execution
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule repairs at your convenience. Most repairs take one day or less, depending on extent and weather conditions. We protect your property with tarps and drop cloths, bring all necessary materials, and complete repairs efficiently.
Our repair work includes matching your existing shingles as closely as possible, properly sealing all penetrations, and ensuring new work integrates seamlessly with your existing roof. We use the same quality underlayment, flashing materials, and installation techniques as full replacements.
Step 3: Cleanup and Documentation
After repairs are complete, we conduct a magnetic nail sweep to remove metal debris from your property. We take after-photos, clean all work areas, and walk you through what we did.
You receive documentation of repairs, warranty information, and recommendations for ongoing maintenance.
Common Roof Repairs We Handle
Roof Leak Repair
Roof leaks typically start at vulnerable points where different materials meet. The most common leak sources are chimney flashing, valley flashing where two roof planes join, skylights, plumbing vents, and wall step flashing. We trace water entry paths through your attic, repair or replace damaged flashing, and reseal all penetrations with high-quality sealants designed for Tennessee weather.
For leaks caused by damaged or missing shingles, we replace affected areas and inspect surrounding shingles for hidden damage. Leak repairs include checking and repairing any water-damaged decking before installing new weatherproofing layers.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
East Tennessee storms bring high winds, hail, and heavy rain that can damage even newer roofs. We repair wind-blown shingles, replace hail-damaged areas, fix blown-off ridge caps, and address tree damage. Storm repairs often require replacing sections of shingles, repairing or replacing damaged flashing, and sometimes repairing or replacing sections of roof decking where water penetrated.
We document all storm damage with detailed photos and notes that support insurance claims. Our estimates clearly identify storm-related damage versus pre-existing wear, making the claims process smoother.
Flashing Repairs
Flashing protects critical transition points on your roof. Over time, sealants deteriorate, metal corrodes, or movement causes gaps. We repair or replace chimney flashing, skylight flashing, valley flashing, wall step flashing, and flashing around roof penetrations like vents and pipes.
Proper flashing repair requires removing surrounding shingles, installing new flashing with proper overlap and fastening, then reinstalling shingles so water flows over the flashing correctly. This prevents future leaks at these vulnerable points.
Shingle Replacement
Wind, hail, falling branches, and age can damage individual shingles or small sections. We replace missing shingles, repair torn or cracked shingles, and address curling caused by inadequate ventilation. Shingle replacement includes matching your existing color and style as closely as possible.
For repairs on older roofs, we explain that new shingles may appear slightly different due to weathering on your existing roof. We also check for discontinued colors and advise on alternatives if exact matches aren't available.
Valley and Ridge Repairs
Valleys channel large volumes of water and take more wear than other roof areas. Ridge caps protect the peak of your roof and often blow off during windstorms. We repair damaged valleys by replacing underlayment and valley metal or installing woven valley shingles. Ridge cap repairs include replacing damaged caps, resealing all fasteners, and ensuring proper overlap.
Roof Ventilation Repairs
Inadequate attic ventilation causes heat and moisture buildup that shortens roof life. If we find ventilation problems during repairs, we recommend solutions like adding ridge vents, soffit vents, or gable vents. Proper ventilation balances air flow, reduces cooling costs, prevents ice damming, and extends shingle life.
Metal Roof Repair
Metal roofing systems are durable, but they still need occasional repairs. Common metal roof problems include fastener backout where screws loosen over time, failed sealants at panel seams and roof penetrations, and denting from hail or falling branches. We also repair rusted panels, damaged flashing, and separated seams on standing-seam systems.
Metal roof repairs require specialized techniques. We use matching panel profiles and colors, apply sealants rated for metal-to-metal contact, and replace fasteners with proper gasketed screws. For standing-seam systems, we re-crimp separated seams and replace damaged clips that hold panels to the roof deck. Penetrations like vents and skylights receive new rubber boots designed specifically for metal roofing.
Tennessee's humidity can cause rust on older metal roofs, especially around fasteners and cut edges. We address rust by wire-brushing affected areas, applying rust-inhibiting primer, and sealing with elastomeric coating. For severely corroded panels, we replace the entire section to prevent future leaks. All metal roof repairs include checking and tightening all exposed fasteners, as thermal expansion and contraction can loosen them over time.
Shingle Roof Repair
Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common roofing type in Knox and Sevier County, and most repairs we perform involve shingle damage. Wind lifts and tears shingles, hail creates bruises that compromise the protective granule layer, and age causes shingles to curl, crack, or lose granules. We replace damaged shingles, reseal lifted tabs, and address underlying problems like poor ventilation that cause premature shingle failure.
Shingle repairs involve more than just replacing visible damage. We inspect surrounding shingles for hidden cracks, check sealant strips that hold shingles down, and verify that nailing patterns are correct. Improperly nailed shingles blow off more easily during storms. When replacing shingles, we slide new ones under the overlapping course above, nail them securely, and seal tabs to prevent wind uplift.
East Tennessee's climate is hard on asphalt shingles. Heavy rainfall and humidity promote moss and algae growth that holds moisture against shingles and accelerates deterioration. We remove organic growth during repairs and can apply zinc or copper strips that prevent regrowth. For shingles that are curling due to attic heat, we address ventilation issues alongside shingle replacement to prevent the problem from recurring. Matching shingle colors can be challenging on older roofs since manufacturers discontinue colors and formulations change, but we source the closest available match and explain any visual differences upfront.
Repair vs. Replace: Making the Right Decision
When Repair Makes Sense
Repair is usually the right choice when your roof is under 15 years old, damage is localized to one area, the rest of the roof is in good condition, and the cost of repairs is less than 30 percent of replacement cost.
Repairs also make sense when you're planning to sell within a few years and just need to maintain the roof until then.
Emergency Roof Repair Service
When storms cause immediate damage or you discover an active leak, quick response prevents further damage to your home's interior. Call 865-422-9252 and we'll prioritize your repair.
Emergency services include tarping to stop water intrusion, temporary patching to protect your home until permanent repairs can be scheduled, and securing loose shingles or flashing. We document emergency damage with photos and notes for insurance purposes and provide clear timelines for permanent repair work.
When Replacement Makes Sense
Replacement becomes a better investment when your roof is over 20 years old, damage is widespread across multiple areas, you've had multiple repairs in the past few years, or repair costs approach 40 to 50 percent of replacement cost.
If your roof has chronic leaks, significant shingle deterioration, or structural issues like sagging, replacement often provides better long-term value than continued repairs.
We'll always give you our honest assessment. If we can extend your roof's life with repairs, we'll tell you. If replacement makes better financial sense, we'll explain why.
What Roof Repair Costs in Knox and Sevier County

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repair
How quickly can you repair my roof?
For emergency situations, we respond the same day or next day to stop active water intrusion. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within a few days to a week, depending on weather and current workload. Most repairs are completed in one day.
Will repaired areas match my existing roof?
We source shingles that match your existing color and style as closely as possible. New shingles may appear slightly different initially due to weathering on your existing roof, but they typically blend in after a few months of sun exposure. If your shingle line is discontinued, we'll recommend the closest available match.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We provide detailed documentation, photos, and estimates that support your insurance claim. While you communicate directly with your insurance adjuster, we're available to answer technical questions and ensure all storm damage is properly documented.
How long will roof repairs last?
When done correctly with quality materials, roof repairs should last as long as the rest of your roof. We warranty our repair workmanship and use the same materials and installation techniques as full replacements. Proper repairs extend your roof's overall service life.
What happens if it rains during repairs?
We monitor weather forecasts closely and plan repairs around dry conditions. If unexpected rain occurs during work, we have tarps ready to protect exposed areas immediately. We never leave your roof in a vulnerable state overnight.
Can I just patch a leak myself?
Temporary patches like roof sealant or tape might slow a leak, but they rarely address the root cause and can make proper repairs more difficult later. Leaks often originate several feet from where water appears, so finding and fixing the actual source requires experience and proper materials. We recommend professional assessment to prevent small leaks from causing major interior damage.
Do you repair flat roofs and metal roofs?
Yes. We repair both pitched and flat roof systems, as well as metal roofing. Repair techniques vary by roof type, but our approach remains the same: accurate diagnosis, quality materials, and durable repairs.
What's included in your free inspection?
Our free inspection includes a complete roof surface assessment, flashing and penetration checks, attic moisture and ventilation review, and a written estimate with photos. We explain what we found, what needs attention now versus later, and provide clear repair options with pricing.
