Repairing the roofing system is costly as it is. However, if you start a DIY repairing project independently, that could potentially cost you a lot more. You could end up buying expensive but useless materials and tools and run the risk of damaging the roof further. The cost of the damage after your attempt typically will be much higher than it initially was, so we recommend you do not attempt a DIY project.

If not taken care of by a professional roofing contractor, the damage to your roof will get worse in the near future. In addition to increasing the overall cost of the roof repair, you might end up needing a total roof replacement of the roof. So, to avoid any mishaps, it’s important to hire a professional roofing contractor for help.

Here are a few things you can do to ensure the roof on your Land O'Lakes home lives up to its average lifespan:

• Install proper ventilation systems
• Make sure the deck of the roof is strong enough to hold the roofing materials
• Schedule cleaning and maintenance of the roof with a professional roofer
• Install and maintain a proper gutter to get rid of water and other debris
• Schedule annual inspections 

The ballpark prices for different types of roof leaks commonly found are:

Leaky pipe collars or pipe flashing around your plumbing pipes or other pipe vent penetrations. The average cost to repair is $550-$1,150.

Leaky valleys or roof pitch transitions. The average cost to repair is $1,225-$2,500.

Leaky chimneys or skylights. The average cost to repair is $1,450-$3,800.

Leaky roof to wall flashings. The average cost to repair is $1,350-$2,850.

Leaky roof due to improper nailing during the original installation. The average cost to repair this could be as low as $550 if it is minimal. Typically these have low nails or nails backing out through the face of the shingles or in the worse case, whatever a complete roof replacement cost would be for your home, unfortunately, we have had to do on many homes.

Shingles are the outer layer of a roof structure, used as a cover for the underlay which stands as a barrier to water intrusion. If your roof has a missing shingle, simply taking a look at your roof will indicate it.

This is also the best tip for preventing further damage. A damaged or missing shingle exposes your roof to external elements. It also causes air to find its way into the ventilation part of your roof.

You might have noticed after a night of heavy storms a few shingles or their pieces scattered across your yard. Bad weather conditions, especially thunderstorms and hurricanes that we have in Florida during rain season can cause these materials to come loose and fall off your roof.
