Roof repairs in Weber and Davis counties
Not every roof problem means a new roof. When the damage is limited to one area, a repair is usually the right call, and AGX does repairs as well as full reroofs.
When your roof needs attention
- A leak showing up as a stain on a ceiling or wall
- Shingles missing or lifted after a wind storm
- Flashing pulled loose around a chimney, wall or skylight
- A cracked rubber boot around a plumbing vent
- Damage from a fallen branch
Finding where a leak actually starts
Water rarely comes through the ceiling right below the spot where it gets in. It runs along the decking or rafters first, sometimes for several feet. A lasting repair starts by tracing the leak back to its real source, usually a flashing detail, a vent, or a damaged section of roofing, rather than patching the place where the stain appeared.
If the roof turns out to be worn out across the board, AGX will say so and explain why a replacement is the better spend.
What to tell AGX when you call
- Your city and roughly where the house is
- What you are seeing: a stain, a drip, missing shingles, something on the ground
- When it started, and whether it followed a storm
- Photos from the ground or of the ceiling, if you have them (attach them to an email)
If water is coming in, move what you can out of the way and catch the drip. Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof. Then call (385) 244-9300.
Questions homeowners ask
Can you fix just the leak instead of the whole roof?
Yes, when the problem is confined to one area. That is what a repair is. A replacement only makes sense when the roof is failing across most of its surface.
Will the repair match my existing shingles?
That depends on whether the same shingle is still made, and on how much the existing roof has faded. You will hear how close the match is likely to be before the work is done.
Should I go up and look at it myself?
Stay off the roof, especially when it is wet or damaged. Look from the ground, take photos, and check the ceiling and attic for stains.
