Has a stain shown up on your ceiling after the last rain? Most leaks are not the whole roof. They are a failed pipe seal, an open valley, cracked tile, or flashing that pulled off a wall. We find the path first, then repair it.
Roof By Tom handles minor and major repairs on shingle, tile, metal, and flat systems for homes and businesses across the Bay Area.
If this is the work your home needs, call (925) 722-6494 or send the form for a written estimate. There is no obligation.
How we find a roof leak
We start where the water shows up inside, then check the attic and the roof above it. Chimney flashing, valleys, pipe seals, and skylights are common paths. You get photos of the cause and a written scope before we start the repair.
When a small leak should not wait
Water in the wood and insulation does not pause until spring. A stain that looks minor today is often a larger repair after the next hard rain. If water is coming in now, call (925) 722-6494 and we will talk through a same-day tarp.
What emergency leak cover includes
When the weather will not wait, we cover the open area so more water stays out of your home. Permanent flashing, tile, or shingle work follows in a safe, dry window so the repair lasts.

Roof repair questions
Can you repair a roof in the rain?+
We can tarp the roof during wet weather. Permanent work waits for a safe, dry window so the repair lasts. If water is coming inside, call and we will tell you what we can do today.
Will a small leak wait until spring?+
Water in the wood and insulation does not pause. A small leak today is often a larger repair after the next storm. An inspection now is usually cheaper than waiting.
How much does roof leak repair cost?+
Many single-area repairs fall between a few hundred and about $1,500, depending on access and materials. Larger flashing or valley work costs more. We price the repair after we see the cause.
Do you repair tile, metal, and flat roofs?+
Yes. We repair shingle, tile, metal, and low-slope systems. The leak path changes with each type, so we inspect before we recommend a fix.
Will you try to sell me a new roof?+
Only if the roof is at the end of its life or the repair will not hold. If a local fix will stop the water, that is what we bid.
