A homeowner in McKinney reached out after noticing ceiling stains and a musty smell in their attic. Turns out, a poorly installed vent and worn flashing had been letting in water for months. We found the leak, replaced the compromised sections, sealed everything properly, and restored the roof to full function—without needing a full replacement.
What we did
This project was a detective job first, then a precision fix.
Leak detection & inspection
We started with a thorough diagnostic.
Investigated interior water stains and attic moisture
Identified damaged flashing around a roof vent
Checked surrounding shingles and underlayment for soft spots
Used a hose test to confirm the leak source
Repair & restoration
Precision over patchwork.
Carefully removed shingles in affected area
Replaced old flashing and sealed vent pipe boot
Installed new synthetic underlayment under exposed section
Re-shingled using color-matched architectural shingles
Sealed and resecured surrounding areas for weather-tight finish
Challenges we faced
Small leak, big consequences.
The attic had mold spots due to slow leaks, requiring extra caution
Color-matching discontinued shingles took some sourcing
Tight working space around multiple roof features (vents, valleys)
Why this project stands out
We prevented a $10K+ roof replacement and potential attic rework with a smart, localized repair.
Cost-effective solution for a localized issue
No tear-off needed—just careful craftsmanship
Fast turnaround (2 days, including drying and sealant)
Client got 5 more years out of the existing roof system
Final result
The leak is gone, the interior is safe, and the roof blends perfectly—no one would guess there was ever an issue.
