Roof Repair & Leak Repair
Fast, reliable roof repair for homeowners in Minot and across North Dakota. We find the leak, fix it right, and help you deal with insurance if a storm caused the damage.
Common Roof Problems We Repair
Missing or Wind-Damaged Shingles: North Dakota winds can loosen, lift, or completely remove shingles, leaving areas of the roof vulnerable to water. We can inspect the damage and replace or repair affected shingles when appropriate.
Flashing & Roof Penetration Leaks: Leaks can develop around vents, chimneys, flashing, and other roof penetrations. We’ll identify the source of the leak and repair or reseal the affected area as needed.
Hail & Storm Damage: Hail and severe weather can damage shingles, ridge caps, vents, flashing, and other roofing components. We’ll inspect the roof, document visible damage, and explain whether the affected areas can be repaired or if more extensive work is needed.
Ridge Caps, Fasteners & Sealant: Missing or damaged ridge caps, exposed or loose fasteners, and deteriorated sealant can create areas where water can enter. We can inspect these areas and make the appropriate repairs when possible.
Common Roof Failures
Roofs fail in predictable ways. Knowing what to look for helps you catch a small repair before it turns into a full roof replacement.
Wind-lifted shingles happen when high winds catch the edge of a shingle and break the adhesive seal. Once a shingle is lifted, water gets underneath and the damage spreads fast. After any major wind event in Minot, check your roof from the ground for shingles that look raised, curled, or missing entirely.
Flashing failures around chimneys, vents, and wall junctions are the other big culprit. Flashing is the metal that seals the transition points on your roof, and when it corrodes, pulls loose, or was installed poorly to begin with, water finds its way in at every rain.
Repair vs. Replace: An Honest Call
Not every roof problem means you need a new roof, and not every repair is worth the money either. We’ll give you a straight answer on which option makes the most sense.
Repair may make sense when the damage is limited to a small area and the rest of the roof is still in good condition. A few missing shingles after a storm, a localized leak around a vent, or a small area of damaged flashing may all be good candidates for repair.
Replacement may be the better option when damage is widespread, the roof is nearing the end of its service life, there have been repeated repairs or leaks, or the decking underneath is damaged or deteriorated. At that point, continuing to make repairs may not be the most cost-effective long-term solution.
We’ll inspect the roof, explain what we find, and recommend whether a repair or replacement makes the most sense for your home.
Response Time and What to Do Before We Arrive
For active leaks and storm damage, we do our best to inspect the issue as quickly as possible. Same-day appointments may be available depending on our schedule and weather conditions. If not, we’ll let you know the soonest available time.
While you wait, move valuables away from the leak and use a bucket or container to catch any water. Avoid getting on the roof yourself, especially if it is wet, icy, or windy. If storm damage is suspected, take photos of any visible damage from the ground or inside your home for your records.

We can provide a detailed estimate and scope of work for the repairs or replacement we recommend. If needed, we’re also available to communicate or meet with your insurance adjuster to answer questions about our findings, estimate, or scope of work.
Homeowners are responsible for filing and managing their insurance claim, and all coverage and claim decisions are made by the insurance company.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a roof leak?
For active leaks or urgent roof repairs, we do our best to inspect the issue as quickly as possible. Same-day appointments may be available depending on our schedule and weather conditions. If not, we’ll give you the soonest available time.
How much does a roof repair cost?
Roof repair costs vary depending on the source and extent of the damage, roof accessibility, materials needed, and whether additional damage is discovered. We inspect the issue first and provide an estimate based on the repair needed.
Will my insurance cover roof repair after a storm?
Coverage depends on your policy, the cause of the damage, and your insurance company’s determination. If we find storm-related damage, we can document what we see and provide an estimate for the necessary work.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or full replacement?
If damage is limited to a small area and the rest of the roof is in good condition, a repair may make sense. If damage is widespread, the roof is nearing the end of its service life, decking is deteriorated, or repeated repairs are no longer cost-effective, replacement may be the better option. We’ll inspect the roof and explain what we recommend and why.
Can you repair my roof in winter?
Some small roof repairs may be completed during the winter depending on the temperature, weather conditions, materials required, and type of repair. We’ll evaluate the issue and let you know what can be completed safely and properly.
What should I do if my roof is leaking right now?
Move valuables away from the leak and use a bucket or container to catch the water. Take photos of any visible damage inside or outside your home for your records. Avoid getting on the roof yourself, especially if it is wet, icy, or windy.
Call us as soon as possible so we can schedule an inspection, identify the source of the leak, and determine what repairs are needed.
