Where coastal roofs leak
We find the same culprits over and over: flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents, worn valleys, shingles lifted or torn off by wind, and moss wicking water under the shingles. Age and poor attic ventilation make all of them worse on the wet coast.
Repair or replace?
A localized leak on an otherwise sound roof is usually a repair. But if shingles are curling and shedding granules across the whole roof, or moss has already softened the deck, patching just delays the inevitable. We'll tell you straight which one you're looking at, so you don't spend money on a roof that's due for replacement.
Storm and moss damage
Comox Valley windstorms lift and tear shingles, and heavy moss lifts them from below. Both let water in fast. We reseal the flashing, replace the damaged shingles, and clear the moss quickly, so water doesn't reach the sheathing and the ceiling below.
How a roof repair is handled
- 1
Find the source — We trace the leak to its actual origin, whether that's flashing, a valley, a shingle, or moss, not just the stain on your ceiling.
- 2
Clear quote — You get a written quote for the repair, and we'll tell you straight whether it's better to repair the roof or replace it.
- 3
Fix and verify — We make the repair and re-check the area, so the water path is genuinely closed.
Local conditions
On the coast, a small roof leak becomes a big one fast, because constant rain means there's rarely a dry spell for the deck to recover. Get us onto flashing failures and moss damage before winter and your job usually stays a repair instead of turning into a full replacement.
In practice
- Situation
- A Comox homeowner had a ceiling stain that reappeared every heavy rain despite two previous patch attempts.
- Complication
- The water was tracking from failed step flashing at a wall-to-roof junction metres away from the stain, so the earlier patches never touched the source.
- Resolution
- We found and rebuilt the flashing and replaced the water-damaged shingles, and the leak stayed shut through the next winter's storms.
People also ask
How much does it cost to fix a roof leak?
Most leak repairs we do in the Courtenay area run $300 to $1,500, depending on the cause and the access. Larger or storm-related repairs can reach $1,500 to $4,000 or more.
Is it worth repairing an old roof?
If your leak is localized and the roof is otherwise sound, yes. If the shingles are failing across the whole roof or the deck is soft, we'll tell you to put the money toward replacement instead.
Can you repair a roof in the rain?
We can stop active water any time with a temporary measure, but lasting flashing and shingle repairs need a dry enough window to seal properly. Those come up even in a Comox Valley winter, between systems.
